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.

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.

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.
