    The Key Storylines for Each Country at the 4Nations Faceoff

    Frank Seravalli is live in Montreal for the 4Nations Faceoff as the hockey world will see close to true best-on-best hockey for the first time in close to a decade. Most of the best players in the world are here and with the tournament kicking off on Wednesday, Jason and Frank went through some of the big storylines for each of the four countries taking part. Finland has lost a handful of key blueliners in the weeks leading up to the event and now they have a defense corp that is barely NHL level, nevermind up to par with the other groups in the tournament. Can they overcome that? Sweden is third on the odds board by a pretty significant margin, but do they deserve more respect? A lot of attention is given to the Swedes strong blueline which features a handful of future Hall of Famers but as Frank says, don’t sleep on their forward group, which has some elite scorers playing in the bottom six. USA got dealt a big injury blow with the absence of Quinn Hughes but their blueline is still deep and their forward group has some elite talent at the top. They also have the best goaltender in the tournament in Connor Hellebuyck. Will that be the difference maker? Finally, they talked about the duo of Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon as they will look to compete on the same team for the first time since they came to the NHL. Sidney Crosby is there too after a brief injury scare. Canada’s depth is unmatched but the big question mark comes between the pipes. After they finished going through all four teams, Tyler popped in for a 4Nations themed edition of Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys about who could lead the tournament in scoring and more. To wrap, they quickly hit on a few NHL stories like what the Dallas Stars could do with the LTIR space they’re getting with Miro Heiskanen. 4:00 - Finlands injuries 8:30 - Sweden’s chances 10:30 - USA without Quinn Hughes 19:00 - Canada’s big guns 27:20 - Fill in the Blank 33:50 - Stars, their LTIR space & Seth Jones Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    Leave Winnipeg Alone! Plus: What’s Kyle Connor’s next contract

    After his week-long hiatus, Jason Gregor returned to the podcast as he and Frank Seravalli were re-united for episode 357. To begin the pod, Gregor finally got a chance to give his take on the Mikko Rantanen trade and that led to some talk about whether or not he thinks Rantanen will eventually extend in Carolina. From there, they talked about a few other things that Gregor missed over the last 10 days including the big salary cap increases that are coming over the next few seasons.  That led Frank to start wondering what the Jets will end up doing with Kyle Connor, who is eligible to sign an extension this summer. The guys debated whether or not he’s considered an elite player and then threw around some contract comparables. They also talked about the Jets deadline plans & the recent player poll that saw a high percentage of players say the Jets are the spot they’d least like to play. Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about Marcus Pettersson’s extension in Vancouver, the chances of either Bowen Byram or Casey Mittelstadt being traded for a second straight trade deadline and what the Los Angeles Kings and Rob Blake need to do ahead of March 7th. To wrap up the show, they stayed in the Pacific Divsion and talked about the Vegas Golden Knight’s struggles. Jack Eichel has been scoring but their team is very top heavy and Frank wondered if that will change with the addition of Brandon Saad. They also touched on what the Oilers could be looking to accomplish ahead of the deadline. Frank also gave his Super Bowl prediction for his Philadelphia Eagles. 1:20 - Rantanen’s future 18:00 - Kyle Connor’s future 27:40 - Jets deadline plans 36:00 - Buy or Sell (Pettersson extension, Byram/Mittelstadt, Kings deadline plans) 47:55 - Golden Knights struggles 51:50 - Oilers need for speed 57:00 - Brock Nelson update Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    Recapping a wild weekend of trades in the NHL

    Frank is back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown and with Jason Gregor still on holidays, he was joined today by Craig Button from TSN. The two of them kicked things off by talking about the first of three big trades from the weekend: the JT Miller trade. It felt inevitable that Miller would end up back in New York and finally after weeks of rumours, the Canucks pulled the trigger on the deal. They got back a decent return that included a first-round pick, which their front office promptly flipped to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for defenseman Marcus Pettersson and forward Drew O’Connor.  The guys broke down how Miller has looked back in a Rangers jersey and also the Canucks decision to add Pettersson. They also talked about Elias Pettersson’s future in Vancouver and whether or not the Canucks are set on keeping him, or if they could have another big trade up their sleeves. The Canucks weren’t the only team who made a big splash this weekend either. The Dallas Stars acquired Mikael Granlund and Cody Ceci from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for a package of draft picks. The guys talked about whether or not this was the right move by the Stars considering how much cap they took on and they also touched on the job that Sharks GM Mike Grier is doing as he continues to rebuild his roster. Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys about the Rangers' playoff chances, Casey Mittelstadt's availability and how many games Ryan Hartman will get. To wrap up the show, Frank got Craig’s take on the Detroit Red Wings and Tampa Bay Lightning, who seem to be going in opposite directions. 1:35 - Miller returns to the Rangers 5:05 - Canucks add another Pettersson 16:20 - Stars add Granlund & Ceci 29:25 - Flames add Frost & Farabee 39:55 - Fill in the Blank 51:20 - Red Wings stay hot Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    Contenders & Pretenders in the Eastern Conference

    Frank’s week of rotating co-hosts continued today as he was joined by Pete Blackburn of What Chaos! In the first part of the show, they went through all the teams that are currently existing in the mushy middle of the Eastern Conference. There are eight teams that all have convinced themselves to some extent that they are capable of making the playoffs and yet none of these teams have gone on any sort of a run that would lead you to believe that they’re front runners in the race for one of the final two wild card spots. Frank and Pete went through every team and gave the case for and against them making the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Frank is high on the New York Rangers while Pete thinks that teams like Montreal and Columbus should do everything they can to help out their young cores and shouldn’t sell off. Frank also mixed in a quick update on the Vancouver Canucks and the JT Miller rumblings. They also talked about how he could fit in with teams like the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers. Tyler then popped on for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the boys about the new name for the Utah Hockey Club, how many pieces the Canucks could move before the deadline, and the rumours swirling around Kings defenseman Brandt Clarke. They wrapped up with some talk about the Minnesota Wild & they discussed where Brandon Saad could end up. 2:10 - Boston Bruins 8:30 - Ottawa Senators 11:25 - Columbus Blue Jackets 15:55 - Detroit Red Wings 17:50 - Montreal Canadiens 21:00 - Pittsburgh Penguins 24:30 - Quick Canucks update 28:05 - New York Rangers 34:00 - New York Islanders 36:30 - Buy or Sell 45:40 - Brandon Saad’s future Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    What led the Colorado Avalanche to move on from Mikko Rantanen?

    What a weekend in the NHL. We saw one of the biggest in-season trades in the history of the league as the Colorado Avalanche sent superstar forward Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes for a package that includes Martin Necas. Frank Seravalli, the man who broke the trade, sat down with ESPN National Hockey Writer Ryan S. Clark to break down every angle of this deal. What led the Avalanche to the point where they felt like they had to deal one of the best forwards in the NHL? Frank gave some insight into that. Was this the right move? That was the big question that Frank and Ryan struggled with. The guys dissected the package that GM Chris MacFarland got in return and they talked about how Rantanen will fit in with the Hurricanes and whether or not they can keep him long-term. After that, Tyler popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys about Rantanen’s future, the chance that we see another blockbuster this season, and Alex Pietrangelo bowing out of the 4Nations Faceoff. To wrap up the show, they talked about why the Chicago Blackhawks felt like they needed to jump in and help out. Frank gave some insight into why GM Kyle Davidson made this move. 1:00 - Breaking down the blockbuster 18:00 - What’s the next move for the Avalanche? 23:40 - Eastern Conference power rankings 27:50 - Can the Canes keep Rantanen? 33:30 - Fill in the Blank (Rantanen as a free agent, Marner’s Future, Pietrangelo’s replacement) 46:35 - Why did the Blackhawks jump in? 55:00 - The latest from Vancouver Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    What will the true contenders look to accomplish before the deadline?

    Frank and Jason are back with a fresh edition of The DFO Rundown as they decided to sink their teeth into the potential shopping lists for the true contenders in both the Eastern and Western Conferences. They started with a handful of teams right off the jump who could be in the mix for some help at the forward position before getting to the best team in the NHL: the Washington Capitals. The Caps have been one of the best stories in league this season, but will they go all-in at the deadline? The guys debated that. From there, they touched on some potential fits for teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs and Dallas Stars, who’s number one needs are pretty clear cut according to Frank. Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about the potential fire sale in Pittsburgh, which prompted Frank to make quite the wager with the guys. They also talked about who the Nashville Predators could sell off and the mindset out in Utah as GM Bill Armstrong approaches the deadline. To wrap things up, they talked about a few of the big dogs in the West like the Edmonton Oilers, Minnesota Wild and the always active Vegas Golden Knights. 0:45 - Winnipeg Jets / Carolina Hurricanes/ New Jersey Devils 5:15 - Washington Capitals 11:45 - Florida Panthers 18:30 - Toronto Maple Leafs 25:00 - Dallas Stars 29:45:- Colorado Avalanche 33:00 - Buy or Sell: Penguins Fire Sale 38:30 - Buy or Sell: Nashville Predators 40:00 - Buy or Sell: Utah is Looking to Buy 43:00 - Minnesota Wild 46:30 - Edmonton Oilers 51:45 - Vegas Golden Knights Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    McDavid & Myers Face Suspensions & The Best Fits for JT Miller

    Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli are back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown as they took a look back at everything that went down over the weekend in the NHL. The big story is the end of the Oilers vs Canucks game on Saturday night as both Connor McDavid and Tyler Myers were ejected for cross-checks to the head of an opponent. Both now have hearings with the NHL DOPS, but should they be suspended the same number of games? The guys debated that and had a bigger picture conversation about the state of officiating in the league. They then got into the John Klingberg signing. Gregor gave some insight into where he could slot into the lineup and they talked about whether or not Klingberg can find his game with the Oilers. They then got into what’s been going down over in the Eastern Conference. The Devils and Bruins are both slipping with the New York Rangers starting to find their game. They talked about the recent hot streak for New York and dug into some of their concerns with what’s happening in New Jersey. That led to some conversation about the Simon Nemec comments. He didn’t ask for a trade, but he wants to play in the NHL and the Devils have a loaded right-side of their blueline. Could something give there? Frank gave his thoughts. They also talked about Kappo Kakko’s hot start to his Kraken career. The guys had a contentious debate a few weeks ago when the trade first went down so they revisited their conversation and their thoughts on the deal. Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys about best fits for JT Miller, the playoff chances for the Montreal Canadiens, and whether or not Jeff Skinner will finish out the year in Edmonton. They wrapped with some talk about potential injury replacements for the 4 Nations Faceoff with guys like Jason Robertson and Zach Hyman both shooting the lights out. 1:10 - McDavid & Myers face hearings 14:40 - John Klingberg signs in Edmonton 17:55 - Eastern playoff picture 20:50 - Concern in New Jersey? 32:30 - Kakko & The Kraken 35:40 - Fill in the Blank (JT Miller, Habs playoff chances, Skinner in Edmonton) 47:00 - 4 Nations Injury Replacements Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

    The Deep Rooted Problems In Pittsburgh & The Blue Jackets Remarkable Run

    Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli are back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown as they went around the league and talked about some of the big stories that have developed over the last week. They started things off by talking about the Pittsburgh Penguins' decision to place veteran goalie Tristan Jarry on waivers. He’s just a few years removed from signing a long-term extension with the club and while he hasn’t performed up to that contract this season, both Frank and Jason took issue with the Penguins using him as a scapegoat. That led to a bigger-picture conversation about what Dubas has done since taking over as General Manager. From one of the worst stories in the league to one of the best, the guys then looked at the Columbus Blue Jackets, who are currently in a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Kirill Marchenko and Zach Werenski have both been spectacular and the team is playing unreal hockey. Can they hold onto this playoff spot? Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about where John Klingberg could potentially sign, the Chicago Blackhawks deadline plans, and whether or not Kyle Dubas will be around when the Penguins finally get back to the playoffs, whenever that might be. To wrap things up, they talked about Connor Hellebuyck running away with the Vezina Trophy and how much pressure the Winnipeg Jets are facing this year to go on a deep playoff run. 1:10 - Penguins waive Jarry 15:30 - Blue Jackets keep rolling 24:00 - Buy or Sell (Klingberg, Hawks deadline plans, Dubas’ future) 42:10 - Hellebuyck & the Jets 47:00 - Frustration in Toronto Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?
