DFO Rundown – Ep. 30: Frank’s a Free Agent & the Playoffs Are Fire!
May 21, 2021, 11:35 EDT
Episode 30 of The DFO Rundown is here! It was a busy week for our guy Frank Seravalli, who kicked off the podcast by giving us an update on his future and where he’d like to go now that his time at TSN has come to an end. From there, they went around the NHL and dug into each of the first-round series.
The Panthers may have saved their season on Thursday night but they also might have a bit of a goaltending controversy on their hands. Speaking of goaltending controversies, there might be one brewing in Vegas and it won’t just impact their playoff run. It will also make their choice at the expansion draft an interesting one. They wrapped up the playoff talk by looking at which deadline acquisition has had the biggest impact on their new club.
They moved on to talk about some of the teams out of the playoffs and which organizations could make big changes, and which ones could give their current groups another chance. Vancouver and Calgary were the focus here.
They wrapped up the episode with a little ‘Buy/Sell, which focused on the playoffs, a few individual players, Nazem Kadri, and a trio of Canadian teams!
