The DFO Rundown Ep. 364 – Where could Mikko Rantanen land? A LIVE Trade Deadline Preview

Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli did a special LIVE Trade Deadline preview to get ready for what should be a wild 24 hours around the NHL. 

As we approach deadline day, there is a new number one on Frank’s Trade Targets board as Mikko Rantanen has rocketed up the board. Where could he land? Will the Hurricanes even move him? The guys gave their takes.

From there, they talked about what the New Jersey Devils could do now that they’ll be without Jack Hughes for the remainder of the regular season and playoffs. Some thought it could lead to them being sellers, but Frank threw cold water on that idea.

They also talked about the series of trades we saw yesterday which included the Tampa Bay Lightning making another massive splash and the Pittsburgh Penguins making a puzzling trade with the Nashville Predators. Could Pittsburgh flip the assets that they got?

Tyler then popped on for a special edition of Fill in the Blank that was fueled solely by questions from the live chat. They talked about a potential deal between the Avs and Flames, what the Blue Jackets could get up to, and the chances of Brock Nelson heading to Winnipeg.

To wrap, they went through some Western Conference teams that could make some noise in the next 24 hours. What could teams like the Oilers and Wild get up to? They talked about it.
