The DFO Rundown Ep. 391 – Buyout candidates, big decisions in Dallas & the Cup Final heads south
Frank and Jason are back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown as the Stanley Cup Final has officially become a best-of-five series.
The guys got into the Stanley Cup Final towards the end of the podcast. They started things off by talking about Frank’s buyout candidate list that was released on Friday. Matt Dumba, TJ Brodie and others appear to be players that could have their contracts bought out ahead of free agency this year.
From there, they discussed the Dallas Stars’ decision to fire Pete DeBoer and how it will likely be the first of many significant decisions that GM Jim Nill will have to make this summer. They talked about the team’s decision to pass on Seth Jones at the trade deadline, the Jason Robertson trade rumours and the team’s pending free agents.
Tyler then jumped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank, where he asked the guys about potential landing spots for Jonathan Toews, the Conn Smythe trophy odds, and who could lead the Stanley Cup Final in scoring.
To wrap, the guys got into the Stanley Cup Final where the Florida Panthers got a massive win in Game 2 of the series and now things are all tied up heading down the Sunrise, Florida. They spoke about some key players for the Panthers struggling, the Oilers inability to hold onto home ice advantage, and what they’ll be watching for in Game 3.
