The DFO Rundown Ep. 365 – Marner’s Future & Other Trade Deadline Fallout

Jason and Frank are back with a new episode of The DFO Rundown as the dust has settled on all of the drama that we got on deadline day. To kick things off, they talked about one of the trades that didn’t happen on Friday: Mitch Marner to Carolina.

How close was a deal and what does this mean for Marner’s future with the Toronto Maple Leafs? Frank gave some insight into that and the guys talked about what kind of deal he could get if he hits free agency this summer.

From there, they talked about the Mikko Rantanen deal. The fit with Dallas makes a lot of sense, but what about the two teams that have traded him this season? Both the Hurricanes and Avalanche have undergone some massive roster surgery over the last few months, but are they better today?

They also talked about the very steep price that the Avalanche paid for Brock Nelson, gave some extra context to why the Hurricanes had to move on from Rantanen, and the Brad Marchand stunner that came in right at the buzzer.

Tyler then popped in for Buy or Sell, where he asked the guys about the Stanley Cup odds, the chances of a deadline rental signing back with his former team on July 1, and the Devils’ deadline activity.

To wrap things up, they talked about the Cozens for Norris deal and what the teams in the Pacific Division got up to at the deadline.
