The DFO Rundown Ep. 126: An interview with Kyle Davidson, General Manager of the Chicago Blackhawks

Welcome to episode 126 of The DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli. We are now two games into the NHL’s Stanley Cup playoffs, and there is plenty to talk about. Jason and Frank dove into talking about the Calgary Flames lack of offence, how the Boston Bruins can avoid the sweep, and the outstanding performance from Connor Ingram last night. Frank gives a hot take on who he thinks is the best playoff performer that has not won the Stanley Cup. After that, Kyle Davidson, the General Manager of the Chicago Blackhawks, joined Jason and Frank. They talked about the early days in Chicago as the general manager, the plan for Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, and the timeline for appointing the team’s next head coach. Davidson also spoke about his origin story and how he came to be the general manager of the Blackhawks. There was no buy or sell on today’s episode, but they did close out the interview with Davidson with rapid fire. 00:48 Calgary/Dallas 2:50 Edmonton/LA Kings 9:57 – Where’s the playoff drama! 11:15 – Frank’s Hot Take 14:40 – Minnesota/St Louis 17:44 – Boston/Carolina 20:11 – Toronto/Tampa 26:56 – The Davidson Origin Story 38:24 – Fitting in Kane & Toews 44:35 – Timeline for new head coach 56:44 -The importance of Rockford 59:16 – Rapid Fire
