The DFO Rundown Ep. 152 – Nick Bonino on his career, being traded, and his two Stanley Cup rings

The summer interview series wrapped up on today’s episode as the guys sat down with San Jose Sharks forward, and two-time Stanley Cup Champion, Nick Bonino. He talked about being a veteran on a team that’s heading into a season that most view as a transition year. He also talked about his career, which has featured many ups and downs. He was traded before ever playing an NHL game and by the time he had played 300 NHL games he had already been traded a total of three times. He talked about life on the move and whether or not it gets easier to stomach being traded. He also touched on his two Stanley Cup runs with the Penguins and his favourite memories from those.

Before getting to the Bonino interview, Frank and Jason talked about JT Miller’s surprising extension with the Vancouver Canucks. What allowed these two sides to find common ground? Frank shone some light onto that. Jason also shared why he thinks the Canucks will take a step forward this season. They also hit on Kirby Dach’s new deal before getting to a new edition of ‘Fill in the Blank’ with Tyler Yaremchuk.
