The DFO Rundown

A Western Conference Offseason Preview


Listen Later

Kick off your week with an all new episode of The DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli as they give you a full offseason preview for each of the eight non-playoff teams in the Western Conference.


They started in the basement with the San Jose Sharks, who have boatloads of cap space. Should GM Mike Grier spend like crazy? Or stay the course? The guys debated that. They then had a similar conversation about the Chicago Blackhawks.


The Nashville Predators were one of the more disappointing teams in the NHL this year and now, they’ll try to get things back on the rails. That could involve trading one of the players they signed last summer. The Seattle Kraken have some contracts that Frank thinks they need to move and probably won’t be buyers.


Speaking of buyers, that’s the expectation in both Anaheim and Utah. Both Frank and Jason agreed that those two teams should be very aggressive this summer. 


They then went up to Canada to talk about the Vancouver Canucks, who are trying to turn over a new leaf after a drama filled 2024-25 season and have some clear holes on their roster. The Calgary Flames were one of the more positive surprises in the NHL and instead of heading towards a rebuild, GM Craig Conroy could try to add to this group and try make them a legit playoff team.


Tyler then popped on for a new edition of Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys about Sam Bennett’s Conn Smythe chances and the rumblings about NHL expansion.


They wrapped up the show with some Stanley Cup Final talk as the Panthers have the Oilers on the brink of elimination for a second consecutive season. Can they finish things off on Tuesday? Or will the Oilers drag them back to Alberta?
