Ep. 46 - Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman Joins The Show For a Rumour Roundup! Jul 16, 2021

Show notes

We are now just under a week away from the NHL's expansion draft and teams are starting to make moves to put themselves in a good spot before they lose a player to the Seattle Kraken. It's really just the tip of the iceberg and there are no doubt more big moves to come, so we decided to bring NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman onto the podcast to give us the latest on what he's hearing from around the league.

Before getting to Friedman, Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli talked about the big news from the past week including the Minnesota Wild buying out Ryan Suter and Zach Parise. They also touched on the goaltending market and talked about the likelihood of some big-name American-born free agents signing in Canada. With Friedman, they started by talking about the idea of tampering and how teams are potentially bending the rules a little ahead of free agency. They also got into which teams are facing the most pressure to improve themselves in the next week and which teams that are currently flying under the radar that could make a big splash. They also did a special edition of 'Buy or Sell' with Tyler Yaremchuk.

Ep. 45 - Frank Has New Trade Targets & Kevin Allen Talks Red Wings Offseason Plans Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

Welcome into a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown from The Wood Jerseys Studio! Frank and Jason started this week's podcast off by talking about some players who could potentially be traded ahead of next week's expansion draft. They also got into a pretty passionate debate about the NHL/CHL agreement that needs to be renegotiated this offseason.

Before getting to their guest of the week, Frank gave his take on Nikita Kucherov's new t-shirts that he's been rocking during the Lightning Stanley Cup celebrations. They went on to welcome Detroit Red Wings beat reporter Kevin Allen to the pod. Kevin broke down how GM Steve Yzerman will handle the upcoming offseason. The Red Wings are certainly still rebuilding, but the focus now is on making the team better and Yzerman has a lot of cap space to make that happen. They could very well be one of the most active teams in the league over the next month and Kevin explained what moves they could be making.
