Frank and Jason are back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown. There’s only been one Stanley Cup Final game since the last pod on Monday, so today they focused more on some offseason topics, starting with the first trade of the summer as Chris Kreider is on the verge of being dealt to the Anaheim Ducks.

After breaking down that deal, they got into Frank’s five offer sheet candidates including Maple Leafs forward Matthew Knies. Could a team take a big swing and offer Knies a $10m+ deal? Frank thinks it’s possible but Gregor says any team doing that would be foolish.

From there, they talked about what the Rangers' next move could be and speculated on K’Andre Miller’s future with the team. They also broke down the Isaac Howard situation in Tampa Bay.

Tyler then popped on for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about Mitch Marner’s rights, two of the new big names on Frank’s trade targets board, and he led them into some Stanley Cup Final talk.

They wrapped up the show by talking about some potential adjustments for the Edmonton Oilers as they look to bounce back from getting blown out in Game 3. For the Panthers, they’ll look to take a 3-1 stranglehold and get to within one win of their second straight Stanley Cup.

Frank and Jason are back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown as the Stanley Cup Final has officially become a best-of-five series.

The guys got into the Stanley Cup Final towards the end of the podcast. They started things off by talking about Frank’s buyout candidate list that was released on Friday. Matt Dumba, TJ Brodie and others appear to be players that could have their contracts bought out ahead of free agency this year.

From there, they talked about the Dallas Star’s decision to fire Pete DeBoer and how it’s going to be the first of many big decisions that GM Jim Nill will have to make this summer. They talked about the team’s decision to pass on Seth Jones at the trade deadline, the Jason Robertson trade rumours and the team's pending free agents.

Tyler then jumped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys about potential landing spots for Jonathan Toews, the Conn Smythe trophy odds and who could lead the Stanley Cup Final in scoring.

To wrap, the guys got into the Stanley Cup Final where the Florida Panthers got a massive win in Game 2 of the series and now things are all tied up heading down the Sunrise, Florida. They spoke about some key players for the Panthers struggling, the Oilers inability to hold onto home ice advantage, and what they’ll be watching for in Game 3.

The Stanley Cup Final is officially underway and both Jason and Frank were in the building last night to take in the action from Edmonton.

They talked about the atmosphere inside Rogers Place and what stood out in Game 1 of the series. It was a tight checking game that was ultimately decided by one goal. Gregor talked about some of the historical feats that occurred last night with the Oilers comeback and Draisaitl’s overtime winner. Frank talked about how if this series is going to be tight, the Oilers depth could be a massive advantage.

One thing the guys both agreed on: this should end up being a pretty long series.

After that, Tyler popped on with a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about the last two teams who filled their Head Coaching vacancies, Brock Nelson’s three-year extension in Colorado, and the idea of the players voting on more year end awards, which led to an interesting discussion about the NHL Awards.

From there, the guys went more in depth on the Marco Sturm hiring in Boston and the Penguins deciding on a first time Head Coach themselves in Dan Muse. Frank had thought on what this could mean for the future of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

They also talked about what Gary Bettman had to say at his annual Stanley Cup Final press conference and had a conversation about the LTIR loop hole, state income come and more.
