The DFO Rundown Ep. 363 – The Panthers Add Seth Jones as Deadline Week Kicks Off

With less than a week to go until the NHL Trade Deadline, we finally saw some trade action over the weekend as a couple of major moves went down. To start, the Florida Panthers made a big splash, acquiring Seth Jones from the Chicago Blackhawks. How significantly did the Panthers change their chances of repeating as Stanley Cup Champions? Did the Blackhawks make a mistake by retaining money? The guys talked about the deal from both sides.

They also hit on the deal that saw Ryan Lindgren end up in Colorado as the New York Rangers continued to sell off their pending UFAs. The Avalanche needed some help on the blueline, but will he be enough? Also, could the Rangers turn their attention to adding now that most of their free agents have been offloaded?

From there, they dug into Frank’s latest Trade Targets board that features a whole bunch of players from the New York Islanders and Seattle Kraken. Will those two teams commit to fully selling off? Frank says it would be a mistake not too.

They also touched on deadline plans for the Vancouver Canucks and New Jersey Devils.

Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about some other deadline situations like who could load up in the Pacific Division, the St. Louis Blues deadline plans, and what the Maple Leafs could get up to.
