The Four Nations Rosters have officially been announced with roughly two months to go before the tournament will get going. That’s where Jason and Frank began on today’s edition of The DFO Rundown.

They started by talking about who who have been considered the last cuts for both Team USA and Team Canada. Players like Zach Hyman, Tage Thompson, Evan Bouchard, and Cole Caufield are the names that immediately got brought up, but Frank also thought a player like Jason Robertson deserved more love in the conversation. They also broke down some of the flaws with each team’s selection process.

After breaking down each roster, Tyler jumped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about whether or not the Nashville Predators would consider a coaching change, if the Los Angeles Kings are legit contenders in the West, and whether or not Auston Matthews can work his way back into the goal scoring race.

After that, Jason and Frank went around the NHL and talked about the Trevor Zegras injury, Mitch Marner’s production, and the David Jiricek trade that went down last weekend.
