    What changes could the next CBA bring?

    Frank is back from the GM Meetings and has some notes on what was discussed as some of the most influential minds in hockey got together. The league and the players association are getting close to having to negotiate a new CBA and that means each side is starting to have internal discussions about what they could want.  That’s where the guys started today on the podcast and it led to some interesting debates about whether or not they could change the term limits for player contracts, how LTIR could change, and other things that could be changed in the next CBA. Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys who their quarter way Jack Adams winner would be and how many career points Connor McDavid will finish with when all is said and done. After that, they talked a little bit more about McDavid’s upcoming milestone as he closes in on 1000 career points. Frank talked about a few players in the 1000 point club who were maybe a little under appreciated.  They wrapped up the show by talking about the next Hockey Hall of Fame class and who are the locks to get in. They debated Carey Price, Joe Thornton, Duncan Keith, Ryan Getzlaf, and Duncan Keith and their chances of getting in. 2:20 - Term limits 17:44 - How could LTIR change? 32:40 - Fill in the Blank 46:00 - Under Appreciated players in the 1k club 52:00 - Next HHOF Class $250 Fanatics Gift Card Giveaway: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/contests/speak-up-and-score Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    Hall of Fame Weekend Recap & Ovechkin’s chase

    Today on The DFO Rundown, Jason and Frank started off by talking about Hall of Fame weekend in Toronto. Frank was in attendance for the induction ceremony and talked about why this weekend is one his his favourites. Jeremy Roenick stole the show with his Mike Keenan urinal story which reminded Frank that he’s been through a similar experience. They also talked about some of the names eligible for the 2025 HHOF Class. From there, they moved on to Alex Ovechkin and the feverish pace he’s off to this season. The question is no longer “will he catch Wayne Gretzky?” it’s now “when will he catch him?” and as he continues to pile up the goals, there becomes a better and better chance that he actually breaks The Great One’s record in fewer games. Tyler then popped in for Buy or Sell where he asked the guys just how high the Winnipeg Jets could soar, how long it will take McDavid to get back into the top ten of league scoring, and whether or now we’ll see a coach get fired this month. After that, Gregor and Frank talked about Nathan MacKinnon’s crazy production this season and how even with that, the Avs continue to look mediocre. Frank wrapped up the pod by telling us what he’s expected to hear at the GM Meetings on Tuesday. 1:10 - HHOF Weekend 12:15 - Ovechkin’s record chase 20:50 - Matthews injury & Leafs roster update 22:15 - Buy or Sell (Penguins, Jets, McDavid) 35:00 - MacKinnon’s crazy pace 49:20 - GM Meetings preview $250 Fanatics Gift Card Giveaway: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/contests/speak-up-and-score Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    Can the Preds turn it around?

    Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli are back with another edition of of The DFO Rundown as they tackled some big stories from around the NHL. The one quote that dominated headlines this week was Predators GM Barry Trotz saying that if his team doesn’t turn it around he will start looking at his rebuilding plans. Things are ugly in Nashville after they spent more than any other team this offseason, can it turn around soon? They gave their thoughts. They then got into another struggling team in the West. The Anaheim Ducks were hoping to step out of their rebuild and start pushing for a playoff spot with their young core but it is not going to plan. Lukas Dostal is looking like a future star between the pipes but even with his elite play, they’re struggling to win. Does something need to change in Anaheim? Frank thinks so. Gregor then gave some quick stats before Tyler popped in with a fresh edition of Fill in the Blank brought to you by Bet365. He asked the guys about who the next team to make a trade will be, a pair of pending UFAs who are looking to get paid, and whether or not this years Stanley Cup winner could be a first time winner. They wrapped up by talking about the Seattle Kraken, who Frank dubbed “the New York Islanders of the west”. They can’t score and Frank thinks there needs to be a bigger sense of urgency to find themselves a star player. Jason thinks this all goes back to them fumbling the expansion draft. 1:55 - Trotz’s comments 11:00 - Ducks struggles 20:55 - Gregor’s fast stats 31:10 - Fill in the Blank 47:10 - Kraken keep struggling Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    The NHLPA Acknowledges CTE & Alex Ovechkin Can’t Stop Scoring

    Frank and Jason are back with a fresh episode of the podcast following a wild Halloween weekend around the league. To start, they talked about their weekends which featured football and costume parties. It was a wildly unique weekend recap from the guys. Frank also spent some time in Boston talking with NHLPA Executive Director Marty Walsh. It’s the first time that they’ve acknowledged CTE and have formed a new board. Franke explained why this is significant and what the NHLPA hopes to accomplish. Sticking with Boston, it was a drama-filled weekend for the Bruins. While they won both of their games, there was more drama as Jim Montgomery benched David Pastrnak for the entire third period after a turnover. Frank wondered if it was a bridge too far. They then went out west and talked about the Seattle Kraken, who might be open to trading a forward. They also talked about the Carolina Hurricanes and the red-hot Martin Necas. Plus, Alex Ovechkin has firing home pucks like vintage Ovi and the Caps are also racking up the wins. Tyler then popped in for a fresh edition of Buy or Sell, brought to you by Bet365. He asked the guys about who will be the next great value contract in the league and a pair of players in contract year. 7:50 - NHLPA acknowledges CTE 16:35 - Montgomery & the Bruins 23:00 - Kraken open to making a move 28:40 - Red-hot Canes 33:50 - Ovi & the Caps 42:00 - Buy or Sell Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    Can the Avs & Oilers survive their injury woes?

    To begin an all new edition of The DFO Rundown, Jason and Frank talked about a pair of teams that are currently fighting through some pretty big injury problems. For the Colorado Avalanche, the sheer number of players they’re missing is the problem. With the likes of Ross Colton, Arturri Lehkonen and Jonathan Drouin joining Gabriel Landeskog and Valeri Nichuskin on the injured reserve, they’re basically missing everyone in their top-six with the exception of Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon. Can Jared Bednar and company get through this stretch without putting themselves too far behind in the Central Division? The Oilers are only dealing with one injury but it’s a big one as they’ll be without Connor McDavid for the next 2-3 weeks. Gregor wondered if this could be a wakeup call for the team while Frank talked about the teams lack of reaction when their Captain went down. From there, they talked a bit about the Columbus Blue Jackets, who are suddenly looking like an offensive powerhouse. They also looked at Kyle Connor’s remarkable start to the season, which Gregor thinks will result in a 50-goal season. That led them to talking about Team USA’s potential roster at the Four Nation’s Faceoff and some of the tough decisions that they’re going to need to make. Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys about a pair of struggling Eastern Conference teams in the Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings and also, which NHL franchises they’d be buying shares in right now if they could. 1:20 - Avs & their injuries 9:55 - Oilers lose McDavid 15:05 - Blue Jackets offensive firepower 22:00 - Team USA’s roster decisions 42:30 - Fill in the Blank Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    Steven Stamkos Returns to Tampa Bay

    Jason and Frank are back with another fresh episode of The DFO Rundown. The guys kicked off today’s show with some drama in Long Island. The Islanders are seemingly having some issues between Head Coach, Patrick Roy, and GM, Lou Lamoriello. They then jump right into the Maple Leafs extension of Jake McCabe. (5 Years - $4.51M) Tonight is a big night for Steven Stamkos, heading back to Tampa for the first time since being traded. Will this trade end up being a smart move? We suspect a warm welcome for Stamkos tonight.  The guys then dive deeper into the Atlantic division to discuss the rough start to the season for both Boston and Buffalo.  Should NHL teams have a 3rd professional goalie on the roster that travels with the team and fills in when necessary in emergency situations? Tyler Yaremchuk is on a much deserved vacation to Seattle to watch his Bills play the Seahawks so Producer Patrick Puff fills in for today’s episode of Buy or Sell brought to you by bet365. You could argue the Golden Knights currently have one of the best lines in the NHL, what could Jack Eichel's next contract look like? Did the Buffalo Sabres make the right call moving on from Jack Eichel? Has Alex Tuch turned out to be a solid return in the trade? 2:45 - Drama on the Island 9:00 - Jake McCabe Extension 13:00 - Stamkos Returns to Tampa 22:00 - Boston and Buffalo 26:00 - Cole Caufield / Hot Starts 27:30 - 3rd Goalie Argument (EBUG) 32:00 - New Jersey Devils / Colorado Avalanche 37:20 - Kevin Lankinen in Vancouver 39:20- Buy or Sell 45:00 - Best Line in the NHL (Vegas/Jack Eichel) 53:00 - Jack Eichel Trade 57:30 -  Leafs Talk Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    Are The Minnesota Wild Legit?

    Jason and Frank are back with another fresh episode of The DFO Rundown. The guys kicked off today’s show with a little bit of talk about Halloween including how they handle giving out candy at their house.  They then got into some talk about a pair of teams who are continuing their hot streaks to start the year: the Calgary Flames and the Minnesota Wild. Frank admitted that he should have been higher on the Wild and listed the reasons why they will be a playoff team this season. Gregor talked about how impressive it’s been that they’ve remained competitive even with their dead cap issues. As for the Flames, they’re proving that they won’t be a bottom-feeder. Frank says that they were never capable of truly bottoming out. The guys also talked about one of the best stories of the season in Justin Kirkland, or as Flames fans are calling him “Kirkland Signature”. From there, they talked about Cale Makar’s start to the season and how big the gap is between the Avs defenseman and the rest of the NHL. They then talked about the Leafs' start to the year, their improved blueline, and what they’re going to do with their goaltending situation. That led to Gregor’s take on the Montreal Canadiens blueline. He thinks the Habs made a mistake coming into the season with as young and small of a defence as they have, he also thinks that they’re playing Lane Hutson far too much. Frank disagreed with the Hutson take and explained why the hate he’s been getting is very unjustified. Tyler then swung by for a fresh edition of Fill in the Blank, presented by Bet365. He asked the guys about which team has changed their perception of them the most, the rash of injuries that the Utah Hockey Club has been dealing with, and some early season regrets. 8:00 - Flames & Wild off to hot starts 17:00 - Makar vs Hughes 21:30 - The Leafs start to the year 25:35 - Canadiens blueline 38:40 - Fill in the Blank Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    Are tensions high in Pittsburgh? PLUS: A look back at the 2020 NHL Draft

    Jason and Frank have a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown for you to begin your week with. After some banter about Halloween, the guys got into the hockey talk and they began today’s show with a bit of a different vibe as they decided to look back at the 2020 NHL Draft and each pick their starting five from that class. Players like Alexis Lafreniere and Tim Stutzle are both locked up front, and Brock Faber and Jake Sanderson are on the blueline as well. After that, there are some pretty good debates including who the final forward should be, who will go down as the third-best defenseman from this class, and who will ultimately be the best goalie from the group. The final part about goaltending led them to a discussion about the current state of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Tristan Jarry was healthy scratched over the weekend as Joel Blomqvist continues to get starts. Mike Sullivan feels frustrated with his goaltending and as the Penguins struggle, Frank wondered about Sullivan’s future in the Steel City. After a brief discussion about the idea of adding a full-time third goalie for every team in the league, the guys turned to the final perfect team in the NHL: the Winnipeg Jets. Connor Hellebuyck has been dialed in but should the Jets be trying to lessen his workload? The guys debated it. Tyler then popped in with Buy or Sell where he asked about a fun debate that was posed on Daily Faceoff on Sunday, Sam Bennett, and how many 100-point teams there could be in the Pacific Division. 8:00 - Revisiting the 2020 Draft 19:30 - Penguins, their goaltending & Mike Sullivan 26:30 - Adding a third goalie 32:35 - Jets stay perfect 39:55 - Oilers offense stays cold 42:30 - Predators struggles 46:30 - Buy or Sell Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?
