The DFO Rundown

The NHL trade deadline is just over a week away, and many teams are ready to make moves. Montreal wants to add a first liner, and would be willing to retain salary on Patrik Laine to help free up space to make it happen. The Rangers would listen on Vincent Trochek, although his NMC will limit potential suitors. The Lightning and Kings are two teams looking for one more specific piece to help them out this spring. And the Leafs are in a tough spot, but may decide to extend pending UFA Bobby McMann rather than trade him.

Meet our insiders: Irfaan Gaffar of Daily Faceoff, Canucks Army, & Rink Wide Vancouver is joined by David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, SiriusXM NHL, and NHL Network. They look around the NHL, reacting to the week's news and digging into the contracts, trades, and moves that are still on the horizon.

Canada vs USA for the gold medal at the Milan Games – it’s the rivalry the hockey world always wants. In this episode of The DFO Rundown, we dive deep into the men’s gold medal game and break down every key storyline before puck drop.

We look at how Team USA got here with their win over Slovakia, what’s working in their game, and how that matches up against Canada’s strengths. Then we go position by position:

• Goaltending duel: Hellebuyck vs Binnington
• Blue line battle and puck movement
• Can Canada slow down Quinn Hughes?
• Macklin Celebrini’s impact on the big stage
• Special teams: power play vs penalty kill
• Coaching decisions and line matching in a one-game showdown

We also touch on the women’s gold medal game, what it means for international hockey, and wrap up with our full predictions on who takes home gold in Milan.
