They also talked a bit about the Columbus Blue Jackets.Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about the final playoff spot in the West, which spiralled into an interesting conversation about the future of the St. Louis Blues.

With the deadline now less than two months away, things are only going to continue heating up.To start today’s pod, the guys talked about the Boston Bruins continued struggles. They’ve already made a coaching change this season, but do they need to find another way to shake things up? The guys debated that and it eventually led them to trying to figure out if the Bruins could find a way to get one Elias Pettersson or JT Miller from the Vancouver Canucks.Frank has an all new version of his Trade Targets board that is headlined by Islanders forward Brock Nelson. They discussed some potential landing spots for him and some other names in Frank’s top 25, like Sabres centre Dylan Cozens.Which teams will be buyers or sellers is still up in the air a little bit, but there are some very interesting teams around the league. One of them is the Washington Capitals, their first half of the season would lead you to believe that they should be all in, but would they be willing to disrupt the chemistry that their group currently has?Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about the players on pace for 100-points, the Norris race, and what both the Rangers and Islanders could sell off at the deadline.3:40 - Are the Bruins a playoff team?14:40 - Are Boston & Vancouver good trade partners?21:00 - What’s the market for Dylan Cozens?24:30 - Nelson headlines trade targets board31:20 - What could the Capitals do?46:05 - Buy or Sell (Rangers, Islanders, Werenski, 100-pt players)Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

After a brief holiday break, the boys are back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown and while the league was dormant for most of the last week, there was still plenty to get to today on the pod.To kick things off, Jason and Frank talked about the Detroit Red Wings’ decision to make a coaching change. For the just the second time in franchise history, the team has made an in-season coaching change and the guys debated if the teams' struggles had anything to do with the coach or if there is a bigger problem with the way that the roster in constructed.That led to some talk about the Eastern Conference playoff picture and the play of the Ottawa Senators. The Senators front office nailed some big moves this summer, some of which weren’t viewed very positively at the time, while the moves that the Red Wings have made just haven’t worked out.Of course, the eight seed in the East is really only open because the New York Rangers continue to struggle. Should they be the next to make a coaching change? Jason and Frank debated that and then had a conversation about how much of the blame should lay at the feet of GM Chris Drury.They then went out West and talked about the run that the Los Angeles Kings have been on. Should Jim Hiller be in the conversation for the Jack Adams? Why aren’t more people talking about the insane season that 37-year-old Anze Kopitar is putting together? There are plenty of intriguing storylines out in Hollywood.Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about the who the best team in the East is, the Calder trophy odds, and Alex OVechkin’s chase of the all time goal record.They then wrapped up with some talk about a few milestones that were hit over the weekend.0:55 - Red Wings fire Lalonde6:27 - The Eastern playoff picture16:55 - Are the Rangers dead?28:40 - The Kings recent run41:05 - Buy or Sell49:00 - Weekend MilestonesYou can get involved with all the NHL futures action over on bet365 by using the promo code NATION at bet365.comConnect with us on ⬇️TwitterInstagramWebsiteDaily Faceoff Merch Hosted on Acast.
