We are less than two weeks away from the NHL trade deadline and the market is still remarkably quiet. Jason and Frank started with that today on a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown.
The first half of today’s pod was straight trade talk, starting with a big conversation about the New York Islanders. They’re continuing to slip in the Eastern Conference playoff race and Gregor says they should be looking to sell off some pieces. The guys had a conversation about which pieces they could move and what their future could look like.
From there, they got into the market for Jake Guentzel and which teams are legitimately in the mix for a player whose spent the bulk of his career riding shotgun with Sidney Crosby. They also talked a little bit about what the return could be.
Another top name on the market is Chris Tanev. Jason and Frank each had different ideas of where he could land including the Jets, Stars and Lightning. They also quickly hit on his teammate Noah Hanifin, who had a big weekend.
Frank also had a quick thought on what’s going on between Elias Pettersson and the Canucks.
In a new edition of Fill in the Blank, Tyler asked the guys about a few teams playoff chances and also, the ceiling for Nikita Kucherov when it comes to his point production.

kucherov has no hart period!
I dont think Pettersson is very happy about Tocchet moving him around, while also Miller being more of a Tocchet guy than EP, and also they should have gotten a winger like Buchnevich instead of Lindholm
maybe going to chicago to play with bedard….
These guys are spot on . But yes, not anything an Isle fan wasn't aware of. To be critical of our fan base is the proverbial elephant in the room. It astounds how no one has not brought up that Anders Lee was way over valued back when he had a good year or two. He can't skate, he can't pass, and he can't catch a pass either. He really cannot score anywhere close to what is expected for a top 6 center much less your captain. He needs to be bought out ASAP before we entertain selling one of our best all around forwards.
Frank the king of the Unicorn Trade scenarios. There is no perfect trades….
