    Metropolitan Division Preview + Kirill Kaprizov Update

    The guys wrap up their 2025/26 season preview as we jump into the Metro Division. First we start with some of the biggest headlines from around the league including Sidney Crosby, Quinn Hughes and the Vancouver Canucks and a Jack Eichel extension in Vegas. Then we move to the Kirill Kaprizov contract rumours. It was reported that he turned down 8 years at a $16 million AAV. Is there truth to this rumor and is it a term or a dollar issue? We then jump into our preview of the Metro Division starting at the bottom with the Philadelphia Flyers and working our way up to the Washington Capitals. Some major news within the division includes the Dan Vladar trade to Philadelphia, the Crosby trade rumors, Matthew Schaefer joining the New York Islanders, the Luke Hughes contract, potential landing spots for Carter Hart and more! Producer, Patrick Puff, then joins for a quick rendition of ‘Fill in the Blank’ to discuss which teams will be the most improved this season, who else would have been a great captain for the New York Rangers and where Sidney Crosby could land if he were to move. This also sparked a brief conversation about Connor McDavid’s next contract. Which teams will be the most improved and which teams will be headed for the Gavin McKenna sweepstakes next summer? 2:00 - Around the League - ( Eichel/Kempe/Hughes) 5:00 - Kirill Kaprizov Contract  11:20 - Philadelphia Flyers 15:40 - Pittsburgh Penguins 19:45 - Sidney Crosby Rumours (Montreal) 20:30 - New York Islanders 24:45 - New York Rangers 28:00 - Fill in the Blank 34:00 - Connor McDavid Contract Talk 35:45 - Columbus Blue Jackets 39:45 - New Jersey Devils 43:45 - Carolina Hurricanes ( Kaprizov Landing Spot? ) 49:00 - Washington Capitals Want to hear more from Jason and the entire DFO team?

    Atlantic Division Deep Dive

    The DFO Rundown takes a team-by-team look at the Atlantic Division to see who’s trending up—or falling behind. Detroit and the Yzerplan face heavy criticism, with little playoff hope in sight for the Red Wings or Sabres. Boston’s rebuild could take longer than expected, while Montreal and Ottawa earn some surprising praise. Are we sleeping on Tampa? Can Toronto survive without Marner? Florida remains the class of the division, though Bill Zito’s big spending raises eyebrows. In Buy or Sell, the panel debates whether Brady Tkachuk will still be in Ottawa when the new arena opens, if Sid and Geno finish the year as Penguins, and whether Connor and Kirill sign before opening night. They wrap up with a heated refereeing discussion after Gregor reveals there were 1,000 fewer minor penalties this season compared to two years ago—and why that might be a problem.

    Kaprizov’s next contract & a Central Division offseason recap with Michael Russo

    Jason Gregor is back with another offseason edition of The DFO Rundown and today, he was joined by Michael Russo of The Athletic. He’s spent the last number of years covering the Minnesota Wild but has been working in hockey for a lot longer than that. The guys started the pod off by talking a little bit about Russo’s career and how he ended up in ‘The State of Hockey’. From there, they got into the current situation with the Kirill Kaprizov and the Wild. He’s eligible for an extension and there’s no doubt that the Wild would love to lock him up, but is he open to a max-term contract? Russo gave some insight into that before getting to another contract situation that GM Bill Guerin is currently dealing with in Marco Rossi, who is an RFA. They then talked about how certain offseason moves could change the balance of power in the Central Division. There are some serious question marks around teams like the Jets and Avalanche meanwhile the Stars are going to get a full year out of Mikko Rantanen, which could change things. The Utah Mammoth are also quickly becoming everyones favourite underdog. GM Bill Armstrong had himself a very busy summer, but did he do enough to make them a playoff team?  They also talked about Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks and the Nashville Predators chances of bouncing back after a miserable season. Tyler then popped in for Fill in the Blank, where he asked the guys about who will start Game 1 for the Edmonton Oilers, Mitch Marner’s ceiling in Vegas, and if they think there could be any surprise teams who get to 100-points. 3:50 - Kaprizov & a short-term deal 9:50 - Will Marco Rossi in Minnesota? 15:05 - The Central offseason 20:25 - Everyone loves Utah 24:05 - Can the Hawks take a step? 28:40 - Can the Preds rebound? 33:10 - Fill in the Blank Want to hear more from Jason and the entire DFO team?

    How close are the Habs to contending? PLUS: A Full Free Agency Recap

    Today on the DFO Rundown, Jason Gregor was joined by Jeff Marek from The Sheet to recap everything we’ve seen over the last 72 hours in the NHL. There were some big contracts handed out as the free agency window opened and usually, this is the time of the year where big mistakes are made. The guys started today’s podcast by talking about one team that they think really improved themselves this summer: the Montreal Canadiens. Are they good enough to be a team that wins playoff rounds next year? They discussed it. From there, they talked about the moves that the Anaheim Ducks made so far this summer. They brought in some veterans in Chris Krieder and Mikael Granlund and while they moved on from Trevor Zegras, it’s easy to see a path to the Ducks improving. They then talked about the Mitch Marner saga and him officially becoming a member of the Vegas Golden Knights. Should Vegas be considered the favourites in the West? They also touched on the way the Maple Leafs handled the situation and the Florida Panthers finding a way to keep all their free agents around. Tyler then popped in for Buy or Sell where he asked about the Ken Holland’s moves with the Kings, the bottom-five teams in the league and the remaining free agents on the board. They wrapped up the show by talking about James Reimer and some of the names still out on the market, the impact some of the new Head Coaches around the league could have and the state of the Dallas Stars after the hiring of Glen Gulutzan. 1:10 - How much better are the Habs? 8:30 - Are the Ducks good enough? 15:40 - Marner & the Golden Knights 23:00 - The Leafs rebound 27:30 - Bennett & the Panthers 33:10 - Buy or Sell 50:00 - The new coaches 52:00 - Stars hire Gulutzan Want to hear more from Jason and the entire DFO team?

    Breaking Down Draft Weekend & Previewing Free Agency with Chris Pronger

    The DFO Rundown is back and with draft weekend in the rear view mirror and free agency opening up tomorrow, there was no shortage of talking points for Jason Gregor. He began the show by going through a little bit of what we saw over the last 72 hours in the league from the Islanders picking first overall to some of the big extensions that were signed. Jason was then joined by guest co-host Chris Pronger. The Hall of Fame defenseman talked about the end of his career when he was trying to overcome an eye injury and life after hockey, including his stint with the Florida Panthers organization. The guys then got into free agency. Teams finally have some money to spend and that could result in some pretty shocking contracts. They talked about what smart teams will do with their money and they also talked about some of the big free agents on the board, like Mitch Marner, who is rumoured to be heading to the Vegas Golden Knights. Jason also got Chris’ take on this years crop of free agent defensemen. Provorov, Ekblad, and Gavrikov are all coming from very different situations but teams are always hungry for defensemen this time of year. Could one of those three get a bigger contract than we think? Pronger also talked about how going to a different system could expose some flaws in their games. Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys about who could increase their Stanley Cup odds the most in the next week, the New York Islanders big weekend and they shared their favourite under the radar free agent options. 1:00 - Draft weekend recap 13:50 - Chris Pronger on life after hockey 26:10 - Best on Best hockey 22:50 - Mitch Marner’s future 39:55 - Free Agent Defensemen 41:00 - Fill in the Blank 50:00 - Under the radar options Want to hear more from Jason and the entire DFO team?

    A New CBA Is Coming & The Sabres Send Peterka To Utah

    Frank and Jason are back with another offseason edition of The DFO Rundown, and today’s was a busy one. Earlier this morning, Frank broke the story that a new CBA is coming and he outlined all of the changes that are coming with that. The guys dug into all of that and Gregor said what he liked and didn’t like about some of the new elements of the CBA, which will kick in for the 2026-27 season. Before they talked about that, they did discuss the massive deal that went down on Thursday night as the Buffalo Sabres sent JJ Peterka to the Utah Mammoth in exchange for Josh Doan and Michael Kesselring. The deal seems a bit underwhelming on the surface and the guys talked about that. Frank also shared what some other options may have been for GM Kevyn Adams. They then really sunk their teeth into the new CBA and new massive changes that are coming, including new term limits, a closing of the LTIR loophole, and an 84-game regular season. Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell, where he asked the guys about the upcoming free agent class and the chances of a top ten pick getting moved in the 2025 NHL Draft. In the back half of the show, they did their offseason previews for the eight playoff teams in the Eastern Conference. The Canadiens are apparently itching to make some big moves, but they’re not alone. The Devils and Hurricanes are likely in that boat as well. The Leafs could also be a team that looks very different next season. The challenge for some of the other competitors like the Panthers, will be trying to dance around some cap challenges. They wrapped up the show with an announcement about the future of the podcast as Frank officially moves on from Daily Faceoff after this week. 0:45 - Utah lands Peterka 6:00 - What else was on the table for Buffalo? 9:55 - The new CBA 22:54 - Buy or Sell (Top 10 Free Agents, Penguins, Moving a Top 10 Pick) 32:40 - Montreal Canadiens 38:00 - New Jersey Devils 42:10 - Ottawa Senators 46:35 - Tampa Bay Lightning 51:50 - Washington Capitals 53:40 - Carolina Hurricanes 55:25 - Toronto Maple Leafs 57:50 - Florida Panthers Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    Trade Market Check In & The Offseason Ahead for the Western Conference Playoff Teams

    It’s the week of the NHL Draft and we are just eight days away from the beginning of free agency. While there wasn’t a lot of news this weekend around the league, there is a lot going on behind the scenes and Frank kicked off today’s edition of The DFO Rundown by giving a quick update on the trade market. Are the Sabres getting closer to moving JJ Peterka? Will the Islanders move Noah Dobson by the draft? From there, they dug into their offseason previews for the eight teams in the Western Conference that made the playoffs. They started with the St. Louis Blues, who are facing some big questions this summer. The Minnesota Wild are in a position where they can be hyper-aggressive. The Colorado Avalanche are low on funds, but need to make some moves to fix a roster that was bounced in the first round. The Los Angeles Kings are in an interesting spot with a new GM and boatload of cap space. They kept rolling and hit on the Winnipeg Jets, who are bringing in 3x Stanley Cup Champion Jonathan Toews. What else will Kevin Cheveldayoff do? The guys gave their takes. Vegas never sits still in the offseason and the expectacion is that they will push hard for Mitch Marner. The Dallas Stars already made some spicy decisions after getting bounced by the Oilers in the Western Confernce Final. They still need a coach, but will that be the last big move they make? They wrapped by talking about the Oilers, the McDavid extension, and what they need to do in order to get back to the Stanley Cup Final. Tyler joined for Buy or Sell where he asked about Marner’s contract, Jake Allen’s place on the goalie market, and the Rasmus Andersson situation in Calgary. 1:45 - Peterka, Dobson and more 8:20 - St. Louis Blues 15:00 - Minnesota Wild 21:00 - Contract Extensions (Kaprizov and McDavid) 25:45 - Colorado Avalanche 32:45 - Los Angeles Kings 40:20 - Fill in the Blank 52:00 - Winnipeg Jets 1:00:00 - Vegas Golden Knights 1:05:25 - Dallas Stars 1:07:55 - Edmonton Oilers Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?
