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.

To wrap up the show, they each gave their predictions for Thursday night and went through a few more key storylines.

Today on the podcast, Jason Gregor was joined by his usual running mate Frank Seravalli, who was live in Montreal for the 4Nations Face-Off, where things are starting to heat up!

The tournament opener created some interesting questions for Team Canada. Where will Travis Sanheim slot in and can he replace Shea Theodore? Should Head Coach Jon Cooper change up his forward lines? And of course, the big one: should Jordan Binnington continue being the starter? The guys gave their take.

On the American side of things, it was the ‘Tkachuk Show’ on Thursday night as Brady and Matthew absolutely took over the game during USA’s 6-1 win over Team Finland. Team USA certainly has some swagger, but can they keep it rolling on Saturday night against Team Canada?

From there, they talked about the booing of the American national anthem, the league's change to a ten-minute 3v3 overtime, the 3-2-1-0 point system, Sidney Crosby’s performance in game one and other big headlines from the first 48 hours of the tournament.

Tyler then popped in for Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about which players impressed in their first game in Montreal and what deadline deals they’d like to see happening.

The guys wrapped up with some talk about Frank’s annual Trade Deadline Matchmaker article where he looked at some potential fits for some of his trip deadline targets. He had names that he thinks would fit on teams like the Winnipeg Jets, Dallas Stars, and Edmonton Oilers.

4:20 - Canada’s goaltending situation

9:05 - The Tkachuk’s big night

17:05 - The Bell Centre boos

24:19 - Sweden’s big point

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

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

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

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
