Welcome to another Monday edition of the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek!
Today we start the show talking about some of the biggest winners and losers so far this season as the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers come out with hot 3-0 starts, while there are a few teams that have struggled out of the gates.
Of course we are going to go through some early season overreactions as the Toronto Maple Leafs have looked slow and the L.A. Kings are looking old and the Flames have struggled to score. Will these continue to be concerns?
Would it be a hockey conversation without talking about goalie interference? Marek believes the officials have done a great job when it comes to goalie interference calls over the past few years but this could be a very polarizing take!
After Pat joins for a Thanksgiving edition of “Buy or Sell” they guys discuss the fine for Tyler Myers “Slash” on Connor McDavid and Ian Coles dangerous trip on Steven Stamkos.
Then the guys have an interesting discussion about the trapezoid behind the net. What if the goalies COULDN’T go in it and could only handle the but OUTSIDE of it!?

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Mike Rupp!
Welcome to the DFO Rundown!
On today's show the guys start by talking about the young San Jose Sharks. They had a 3-2 lead late in the 3rd over the Golden Knights but a couple big mistakes lead to an OT loss.
A few big storylines are already arising this season as the guys discuss the return of Jonathan Toews, the hot start for Kyle Connor, Evegeni Malkin and the looming contract situation for Adrian Kempe.
We then look at some teams off to slow starts as the Buffalo Sabres were shutout in Game 1 and John Gibson gets shelled in his Red Wings debut.
Can the Carolina Hurricanes go another season with injury prone goaltending? Pyotr Kochetkov is already missing the start of the season. How will the Canes handle this situation?

Welcome to the DFO Rundown!
Today the guys start with quick chat about the baseball playoffs before jumping into the CRAZY preseason game between the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning as they racked up over 300 penalty minutes.
This sparks the conversation about the need for toughness and skill in the NHL. Is the fighting pendulum swinging back the other direction? Could we see more fights this season?
Then we talk about the players that hit waivers this weekend and who could be claimed. Will Michael DiPietro clear and are the Edmonton Oilers interested? Are the Penguins still in a rebuild?
Then we dive into the Pittsburgh Penguins and Minnesota Wild. Are the Penguins still in a rebuild and how to do they take a step back in the right direction if they want to keep Crosby? Then they discuss the Filip Gustavsson extension and if Kaprizov's huge extension will hurt the Wild in the long run?
Which 100 Point/Playoffs from last season will repeat and who will fall back? Will the Rangers and Redwings return to the postseason? Are the Carolina Hurricanes tough enough to win the Stanley Cup?
They finish off the pod talking about rookie Brady Martin and whether or not he will make the Nashville Predators.

Welcome to the DFO Rundown!
On today’s episode Jason and Mike Rupp start by talking about Rupp’s Stanley Cup performance. What he remembers from his perspective how he felt at the time and his story about the game sheet!
We then move onto the Luke Hughes and Jason Lacombe extensions. Which is a better deal and who has earned it the most?
Last night saw a feisty game between the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning. This game left Lundell as a question mark as he left the game early. If he is out this is another HUGE blow for the Panthers.
Which NHL teams that put up 100 point seasons last year will have a regression? Will the Canadiens and Capitals find their way back into the postseason? Are the Wild good enough in the east? On the flip side is Calgary good enough to get in?
As we were filming the Edmonton Oilers re-signed their Head Coach Kris Knoblauch. How important has he been to the Edmonton Oilers? Should he have been considered for the Jack Adams last season?
Producer Pat then joins for ‘Fill in the Blank’ brought to you by bet365.
On the topic of future predictions, how many players will have a 50+ goal season and how many will have 100+ points?

On today’s episode Jason and Jeff start by continuing the Aleksander Barkov conversation. How big of a loss is this for the Panthers and what they can do going forward. This leads into some conversation about other injuries this preseason.
We then move to the New York Islanders and how this season seems to have a more positive vibe on the island. Will they finally be able to take another step with the addition of Matthew Schaefer?
Then we touch on Marc-Andre Fleury’s final game in Pittsburgh and what this means for future stars and their legacies. Could Fleury end up working in the media?
Jeff Marek and Jason then go back and forth sharing some stories on Adam Oats who apparently has a great mind for the game of hockey!
We finish off the pod today talking about the Anaheim Ducks as they lock in Mason McTavish, their addition of Cam Fowler and some ugly contract situations around the league.

Welcome to the first Friday edition of the DFO Rundown this season! Our new Friday co-host is former NHL player and Stanley Cup Champion, Mike Rupp!
Today the guys start by talking about Marc-Andre Fleury, as he will be reuniting with the Pittsburgh Penguins in their preseason game tonight! What an incredible way to send off an amazing career. Of course this leads into some Sidney Crosby talk.
They then jump into the Barkov injury in practice. What does this mean for the Florida Panthers and what will his return time line look like?
We then touch on a tough subject as the 5 Hockey Canada players (Carter Hart and company) are looking to return to the league this season. What does this look like from a teammate perspective, from a team perspective and how should this situation be handled.
Connor Ingram has been placed on waivers by the Utah Mammoth, which teams could be interested? Is he still NHL ready?

Another season of the DFO Rundown kicks off with Jason Gregor and new Co-Host, Jeff Marek! This season Jeff will be joining Jason every Monday and mystery co-host will be joining each Friday!
Today the guys kick off the show talking about which games should end up in the hockey Hall of Game. Which games were so memorable, so important, so impactful that they deserve a spot in hockey history.
They then jump into the comments Quinn Hughes made in a recent interview with Elliot Friedman. How concerned should Vancouver Fans be this season that Quinn Hughes may be moving on? This leads into other contract negotiations that are going on around the league with Kirill Kaprizov and Connor McDavid also raising some eyebrows.
Speaking of the Hughes brothers we also need to look at the other two Hughes brothers in New Jersey. Could this be a legit landing place for Quinn Hughes? What about the Luke Hughes contract negotiations?
Then Producer Pat drops in for a little Buy or Sell for bet365. How many Canadian teams will make the playoffs this season? Will Auston Matthews hit 50 goals and will the Utah Mammoth make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history?
Another major storyline this summer is the Noah Dobson trade to Montreal. What are your expectations for the defenseman in his new city.

The guys wrap up their 2025/26 season preview as we jump into the Metro Division.
First we start with some of the biggest headlines from around the league including Sidney Crosby, Quinn Hughes and the Vancouver Canucks and a Jack Eichel extension in Vegas.
Then we move to the Kirill Kaprizov contract rumours. It was reported that he turned down 8 years at a $16 million AAV. Is there truth to this rumor and is it a term or a dollar issue?
We then jump into our preview of the Metro Division starting at the bottom with the Philadelphia Flyers and working our way up to the Washington Capitals.
Some major news within the division includes the Dan Vladar trade to Philadelphia, the Crosby trade rumors, Matthew Schaefer joining the New York Islanders, the Luke Hughes contract, potential landing spots for Carter Hart and more!
Producer, Patrick Puff, then joins for a quick rendition of ‘Fill in the Blank’ to discuss which teams will be the most improved this season, who else would have been a great captain for the New York Rangers and where Sidney Crosby could land if he were to move. This also sparked a brief conversation about Connor McDavid’s next contract.
Which teams will be the most improved and which teams will be headed for the Gavin McKenna sweepstakes next summer?

The DFO Rundown takes a team-by-team look at the Atlantic Division to see who’s trending up—or falling behind. Detroit and the Yzerplan face heavy criticism, with little playoff hope in sight for the Red Wings or Sabres. Boston’s rebuild could take longer than expected, while Montreal and Ottawa earn some surprising praise. Are we sleeping on Tampa? Can Toronto survive without Marner? Florida remains the class of the division, though Bill Zito’s big spending raises eyebrows.
In Buy or Sell, the panel debates whether Brady Tkachuk will still be in Ottawa when the new arena opens, if Sid and Geno finish the year as Penguins, and whether Connor and Kirill sign before opening night. They wrap up with a heated refereeing discussion after Gregor reveals there were 1,000 fewer minor penalties this season compared to two years ago—and why that might be a problem.

Jason Gregor is back with another offseason edition of The DFO Rundown and today, he was joined by Michael Russo of The Athletic. He’s spent the last number of years covering the Minnesota Wild but has been working in hockey for a lot longer than that. The guys started the pod off by talking a little bit about Russo’s career and how he ended up in ‘The State of Hockey’.
From there, they got into the current situation with the Kirill Kaprizov and the Wild. He’s eligible for an extension and there’s no doubt that the Wild would love to lock him up, but is he open to a max-term contract? Russo gave some insight into that before getting to another contract situation that GM Bill Guerin is currently dealing with in Marco Rossi, who is an RFA.
They then talked about how certain offseason moves could change the balance of power in the Central Division. There are some serious question marks around teams like the Jets and Avalanche meanwhile the Stars are going to get a full year out of Mikko Rantanen, which could change things.
The Utah Mammoth are also quickly becoming everyones favourite underdog. GM Bill Armstrong had himself a very busy summer, but did he do enough to make them a playoff team?
They also talked about Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks and the Nashville Predators chances of bouncing back after a miserable season.
Tyler then popped in for Fill in the Blank, where he asked the guys about who will start Game 1 for the Edmonton Oilers, Mitch Marner’s ceiling in Vegas, and if they think there could be any surprise teams who get to 100-points.
3:50 - Kaprizov & a short-term deal

Today on the DFO Rundown, Jason Gregor was joined by Jeff Marek from The Sheet to recap everything we’ve seen over the last 72 hours in the NHL.
There were some big contracts handed out as the free agency window opened and usually, this is the time of the year where big mistakes are made. The guys started today’s podcast by talking about one team that they think really improved themselves this summer: the Montreal Canadiens.
Are they good enough to be a team that wins playoff rounds next year? They discussed it.
From there, they talked about the moves that the Anaheim Ducks made so far this summer. They brought in some veterans in Chris Krieder and Mikael Granlund and while they moved on from Trevor Zegras, it’s easy to see a path to the Ducks improving.
They then talked about the Mitch Marner saga and him officially becoming a member of the Vegas Golden Knights. Should Vegas be considered the favourites in the West? They also touched on the way the Maple Leafs handled the situation and the Florida Panthers finding a way to keep all their free agents around.
Tyler then popped in for Buy or Sell where he asked about the Ken Holland’s moves with the Kings, the bottom-five teams in the league and the remaining free agents on the board.
They wrapped up the show by talking about James Reimer and some of the names still out on the market, the impact some of the new Head Coaches around the league could have and the state of the Dallas Stars after the hiring of Glen Gulutzan.

The DFO Rundown is back and with draft weekend in the rear view mirror and free agency opening up tomorrow, there was no shortage of talking points for Jason Gregor. He began the show by going through a little bit of what we saw over the last 72 hours in the league from the Islanders picking first overall to some of the big extensions that were signed.
Jason was then joined by guest co-host Chris Pronger. The Hall of Fame defenseman talked about the end of his career when he was trying to overcome an eye injury and life after hockey, including his stint with the Florida Panthers organization.
The guys then got into free agency. Teams finally have some money to spend and that could result in some pretty shocking contracts. They talked about what smart teams will do with their money and they also talked about some of the big free agents on the board, like Mitch Marner, who is rumoured to be heading to the Vegas Golden Knights.
Jason also got Chris’ take on this years crop of free agent defensemen. Provorov, Ekblad, and Gavrikov are all coming from very different situations but teams are always hungry for defensemen this time of year. Could one of those three get a bigger contract than we think? Pronger also talked about how going to a different system could expose some flaws in their games.
Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys about who could increase their Stanley Cup odds the most in the next week, the New York Islanders big weekend and they shared their favourite under the radar free agent options.

Frank and Jason are back with another offseason edition of The DFO Rundown, and today’s was a busy one. Earlier this morning, Frank broke the story that a new CBA is coming and he outlined all of the changes that are coming with that. The guys dug into all of that and Gregor said what he liked and didn’t like about some of the new elements of the CBA, which will kick in for the 2026-27 season.
Before they talked about that, they did discuss the massive deal that went down on Thursday night as the Buffalo Sabres sent JJ Peterka to the Utah Mammoth in exchange for Josh Doan and Michael Kesselring. The deal seems a bit underwhelming on the surface and the guys talked about that. Frank also shared what some other options may have been for GM Kevyn Adams.
They then really sunk their teeth into the new CBA and new massive changes that are coming, including new term limits, a closing of the LTIR loophole, and an 84-game regular season.
Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell, where he asked the guys about the upcoming free agent class and the chances of a top ten pick getting moved in the 2025 NHL Draft.
In the back half of the show, they did their offseason previews for the eight playoff teams in the Eastern Conference. The Canadiens are apparently itching to make some big moves, but they’re not alone. The Devils and Hurricanes are likely in that boat as well. The Leafs could also be a team that looks very different next season.
The challenge for some of the other competitors like the Panthers, will be trying to dance around some cap challenges.
They wrapped up the show with an announcement about the future of the podcast as Frank officially moves on from Daily Faceoff after this week.

It’s the week of the NHL Draft and we are just eight days away from the beginning of free agency. While there wasn’t a lot of news this weekend around the league, there is a lot going on behind the scenes and Frank kicked off today’s edition of The DFO Rundown by giving a quick update on the trade market. Are the Sabres getting closer to moving JJ Peterka? Will the Islanders move Noah Dobson by the draft?
From there, they dug into their offseason previews for the eight teams in the Western Conference that made the playoffs. They started with the St. Louis Blues, who are facing some big questions this summer. The Minnesota Wild are in a position where they can be hyper-aggressive. The Colorado Avalanche are low on funds, but need to make some moves to fix a roster that was bounced in the first round. The Los Angeles Kings are in an interesting spot with a new GM and boatload of cap space.
They kept rolling and hit on the Winnipeg Jets, who are bringing in 3x Stanley Cup Champion Jonathan Toews. What else will Kevin Cheveldayoff do? The guys gave their takes. Vegas never sits still in the offseason and the expectacion is that they will push hard for Mitch Marner. The Dallas Stars already made some spicy decisions after getting bounced by the Oilers in the Western Confernce Final. They still need a coach, but will that be the last big move they make?
They wrapped by talking about the Oilers, the McDavid extension, and what they need to do in order to get back to the Stanley Cup Final.
Tyler joined for Buy or Sell where he asked about Marner’s contract, Jake Allen’s place on the goalie market, and the Rasmus Andersson situation in Calgary.
1:45 - Peterka, Dobson and more
