The DFO Rundown

A New CBA Is Coming & The Sabres Send Peterka To Utah


Listen Later

Frank and Jason are back with another offseason edition of The DFO Rundown, and today’s was a busy one. Earlier this morning, Frank broke the story that a new CBA is coming and he outlined all of the changes that are coming with that. The guys dug into all of that and Gregor said what he liked and didn’t like about some of the new elements of the CBA, which will kick in for the 2026-27 season.


Before they talked about that, they did discuss the massive deal that went down on Thursday night as the Buffalo Sabres sent JJ Peterka to the Utah Mammoth in exchange for Josh Doan and Michael Kesselring. The deal seems a bit underwhelming on the surface and the guys talked about that. Frank also shared what some other options may have been for GM Kevyn Adams.


They then really sunk their teeth into the new CBA and new massive changes that are coming, including new term limits, a closing of the LTIR loophole, and an 84-game regular season.


Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell, where he asked the guys about the upcoming free agent class and the chances of a top ten pick getting moved in the 2025 NHL Draft.


In the back half of the show, they did their offseason previews for the eight playoff teams in the Eastern Conference. The Canadiens are apparently itching to make some big moves, but they’re not alone. The Devils and Hurricanes are likely in that boat as well. The Leafs could also be a team that looks very different next season.


The challenge for some of the other competitors like the Panthers, will be trying to dance around some cap challenges.


They wrapped up the show with an announcement about the future of the podcast as Frank officially moves on from Daily Faceoff after this week.
