The DFO Rundown Ep. 237 – How big will the Bruins step back be?

After another quick summer hiatus, Jason and Frank are back with a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown. Off the jump, the guys caught up and talked about the summer coming to a close and their kids returning to school.

The big news that’s dropped since their last podcast is that David Krejci will be retiring from the league. That means the Bruins won’t have their top two centres from last season, and they don’t exactly have the cap space or assets to go out and make a huge splash.

Frank walked through the hurdles that exist when it comes to a potential move for someone like Mark Schiefele. He also talked about some other reasons why the Bruins may be taking a pretty big step back next season.

The Buffalo Sabres also made a trade this week, moving Ilya Lybuschkin to the Anaheim Ducks. The Sabres now have some more flexibility and Jason brought up the possibility of them adding Patrick Kane during the season. Frank thinks that they’re a playoff team this year.

They also remembered the late Rick Jeanneret, who passed away this week at the age of 81.

Jonathan Toews made a statement and while he isn’t retiring, he announced that he’s taking some time off. Is this is for ‘Captain Serious’? Frank and Jason talked about that.

Tyler Yaremchuk then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he talked about some futures bets that are available at Betano.ca one of which involves Connor Bedard.
