Jason and Frank are back with a fresh episode of the DFO Rundown as they begin to sink their teeth into the trade with the market. With the deadline now less than two months away, things are only going to continue heating up.
To start today’s pod, the guys talked about the Boston Bruins’ continued struggles. They’ve already made a coaching change this season, but do they need to find another way to shake things up? The guys debated that and it eventually led them to trying to figure out if the Bruins could find a way to get one Elias Pettersson or JT Miller from the Vancouver Canucks.
Frank has an all-new version of his Trade Targets board that is headlined by Islanders forward Brock Nelson. They discussed some potential landing spots for him and some other names in Frank’s top 25, like Sabres center Dylan Cozens.
Which teams will be buyers or sellers is still up in the air a little bit, but there are some very interesting teams around the league. One of them is the Washington Capitals, their first half of the season would lead you to believe that they should be all in, but would they be willing to disrupt the chemistry that their group currently has?
Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about the players on pace for 100-points, the Norris race, and what both the Rangers and Islanders could sell off at the deadline.
