With only eight days until the NHL Trade Deadline, Frank Seravalli and Jason went through the Western Conference and what they believe each team could get up to in the next week.

They start by discussing the Schenn brothers and the possibility of them both moving at the deadline – and maybe even reuniting for a playoff run.

The Winnipeg Jets are trending to be big dogs heading into the playoffs. But will they be able to add to their winning culture, or will they ride the hot hand and stay put?

On the flip side, the Seattle Kraken are on Year 5 and still don't seem to be trending in the right direction. What could they do to flip the script?

Frank addresses the rumors surrounding Seth Jones and his connections to the Dallas Stars. They also dive into his comments to the media the other day about being unhappy with the Blackhawks' play after a disappointing loss to Utah.

Taking a look into the Colorado Avalanche and their deadline plans, Frank and Jason chat about Gabriel Landeskog's health. They then talk about Minnesota's future and the need to boost their center position and powerplay. They believe Bill Guerin should look into Brock Nelson at the deadline.

They then move over to the Pacific Division, starting with the L.A. Kings. How do they finally take the next step in the postseason? Could Mikko Rantanen be available and could he end up in Los Angeles?

Frank then dives into the Utah Hockey Club and believes they could still make a serious push for the playoffs. Will Karel Vejmelka be moved at the deadline and if they don't make the playoffs does that guarantee a change of pace between the pipes?

The guys dive into Calgary's deadline plans and what the Vancouver Canucks may be looking to do, Frank believes the Canucks would be open to almost anything thrown their way and are actively shopping Carson Soucy.

Ty was sick, so Producer Patrick jumps in to ask a couple fill in the blanks questions for bet365. They talk about Schenn Brothers, the team most likely to make a big splash at the deadline and the best defenseman to be moved in the next week.

Last, but not least, the guys took a look at the Edmonton Oilers and what Stan Bowman could do before the deadline to boost this team's chances. Frank recently spoke with Stan Bowman in his latest episode of Frankly Speaking.

They finished off the podcast chatting about the Stadium Series between the Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday.

With the 4Nations Faceoff now firmly in the rearview mirror, Jason and Frank returned for a new episode of The DFO Rundown. To kick off the show, they looked at some of the injury news that came out of the NHL’s mid-season tournament as some teams will now be without some star players as they head down the stretch.

There is some drama around the Charlie McAvoy situation, which Frank said was ridiculous, but the Bruins now look like they could be sellers. They have some intriguing rentals but the big question is whether or not they will trade Brad Marchand or one of their defensemen with term.

Matt Tkachuk is going to miss some time for the Florida Panthers after sustaining an injury at the 4Nations Face-Off, could that change their deadline plans? GM Bill Zito doesn’t have a lot of assets or a lot of cap space, but he’s known to be a creative GM. Frank talked about what they could add.

They also hit on the Mikko Rantanen situation in Carolina, the New Jersey Devils' plans and whether or not the Washington Capitals will go all-in at the deadline.

Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about the goaltending situations with the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks.

To wrap, they talked about some of the teams that are on the bubble in the Eastern Conference like the Detroit Red Wings, Columbus Blue Jackets and New York Islanders.

After a little bit of drama on the final day of round-robin play, the hockey world is going to get what it’s wanted all along: a rematch between Canada and USA in the final of the 4Nations Face-Off. The Americans are looking to prove that they are the number one hockey country in world while the Canadians are looking to prove that the loss last Saturday was just a one-off.

They started the podcast by talking about some breaking news from earlier today as Team USA learned that they will be without defenceman Charlie McAvoy. Who could replace him? The guys shared their thoughts on that and also talked about whether or not Auston Matthews and the Tkachuk brothers are going to be able to play.

They also talked about the atmosphere at TD Garden in Boston as things shift south of the border. Will there be boos? Will there be fights? Will there be more offence? They went through all the big factors that will come into play on Thursday night.

Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank, brought to you by Bet365, where he asked the guys for their MVP picks depending on if Canada or USA gets the win on Thursday.
