Frank and Jason are back with a fresh edition of The DFO Rundown and to kick things off today, they discussed what went down on Friday with the New York Rangers as they made a pair of significant moves. First, they traded their Captain Jacob Trouba to the Anaheim Ducks and managed to get out of his entire contract then just a few hours later, they came to an agreement with franchise goalie Igor Shesterkin, which was the richest contract ever given to a goaltender.
With all things considered, was Friday a win for GM Chris Drury? Or is there now pressure to add? The guys discussed that and also talked about why the Ducks wanted to make this move.
The other piece of news from late last week was the third coaching change of the regular season. The Chicago Blackhawks fired Luke Richardson after just over two years behind their bench and replaced him with Anders Sorensen. That led to some talk about how the Blackhawks are handling their rebuild and whehter or not they’re on track in the Connor Bedard era.
Tyler then popped in for Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys a little bit more about the Duck’s plans and also how much longer Blackhawks fans will have to wait until they’re finally watching their team back in the playoffs.
To wrap it up, Jason talked about the Eastern Conference playoff picture as things begin to tighten up. Can the Penguins actually stay in the hunt? Out West, Frank had some questions about the Dallas Stars.

DAILY FACEOFF HAT Trick for me today! #Bet365That
Frank crapped all over the Lightning and the Stamkos thing. But, looks differently at how NYR handled Trouba. Get out of here with that.
And… your hair sucks… for a gay guy…
I think shisterkin would have gotten a lesser dollar value in a non tax state. Like a Vegas, Florida, or Dalla. Just like all the Lightning guys got good deals. shisterkins take home after all of new York cities taxes is drastically lower than that aav. This is also what made Bobs contract so insane is because it was in Flordia.
It was odd that Igor wasn't in the game against Seattle? His wife was about to give birth to their kid!? 😂 lmao. Is this guy kidding us! Do your research before you open your mouth.
Chytil and picks/lower prospects for Zegras. Make it happen, would be a good fit and trade for both teams and players
The Rangets forgot got in the NHL a hockey game is 60 minutes not 20.shame on. The entire team no excuse for what happened against seatle .will to win are you kidding . That wasn't quick's fault .they need to get rid of Miller horrible and he wants a raise .send him packing .
Just because Verbeek could do the deal like he did, is that the best deal he could make? I dont think so
I’d rather pay Shesterkin $11.5K who only retains half at best after taxes & fees, than what Severino & Montas are getting to pitch. Baseball is an absolute joke.
