Frank and Jason are back with another episode of The DFO Rundown! They kicked off the podcast by talking about the number of coaching changes going on around the league and Frank gave us the latest on who could be heading where. It was fitting that after that, they welcomed Columbus Blue Jackets Head Coach Brad Larsen to the Wood Jerseys Studio! Larsen talked about finally getting a chance to be an NHL bench boss after years of working the AHL and with the Blue Jackets as an Assistant Coach. They wrapped up the interview with Brad with some Rapid Fire Questions and then to end the episode, Tyler Yaremchuk grilled Frank and Jason in a new edition of ‘Buy/Sell’.
