DFO Rundown – Ep. 45: Frank Has New Trade Targets & Kevin Allen Talks Red Wings Offseason Plans

Welcome into a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown from The Wood Jerseys Studio! Frank and Jason started this week’s podcast off by talking about some players who could potentially be traded ahead of next week’s expansion draft. They also got into a pretty passionate debate about the NHL/CHL agreement that needs to be renegotiated this offseason.

Before getting to their guest of the week, Frank gave his take on Nikita Kucherov’s new t-shirts that he’s been rocking during the Lightning Stanley Cup celebrations.

They went on to welcome Detroit Red Wings beat reporter Kevin Allen to the pod. Kevin broke down how GM Steve Yzerman will handle the upcoming offseason. The Red Wings are certainly still rebuilding, but the focus now is on making the team better and Yzerman has a lot of cap space to make that happen. They could very well be one of the most active teams in the league over the next month and Kevin explained what moves they could be making.
