The DFO Rundown Ep. 233 – Breaking Down Free Agency

Frank and Jason are back with a holiday Monday edition of The DFO Rundown

We are three days into NHL Free Agency and there have been plenty of head-scratching moves. The guys eventually got to the signings that left them wondering what direction some teams are heading into, but they started off by talking about their favourite moves from the early days of free agency.

The New York Islanders were very active, but in the wrong way. The same could be said about the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins. They went down as the losers of the day. So did teams like the Calgary Flames and Seattle Kraken, but for the opposite reasons. Those two didn’t add much and don’t look like playoff teams right now.

They also spent some time talking about the Buffalo Sabres, Carolina Hurricanes, Boston Bruins, Colorado Avalanche and New York Rangers.

Tyler hopped in with a hot-take edition of Buy or Sell, where he asked the guys about the Leafs, Predators, Kings, and Vladimir Tarasenko.
