Are the Flames open for business?

The DFO Rundown

Things are not going well right now for the Toronto Maple Leafs and that’s exactly where Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli began today’s podcast. Sheldon Keefe made some interesting comments the other day after the Leaf’s suffered their fourth consecutive loss and that led to the guys breaking down whether or not the Leafs are actually just a few moves away from being a true Stanley Cup contender or if this just won’t be their year.

The Leafs will have a chance to bounceback tonight as they face the Calgary Flames, who are another team in an interesting spot. Frank is in Calgary right now and broke down why he believes that despite their recent winning streak, Flames GM Craig Conroy is still open for business. That led to some debate about the kind of impact that Elias Lindholm will have on a contender.

Sticking with Canadian teams, Jason wondered about Jacob Chychrun’s future with the Ottawa Senators. There are some rumblings that he could be available and considering his cap hit and term, Frank says he would have value and that the Senators are open to just about anything.

They also spent some time talking about the Colorado Avalanche and what they could be looking to add ahead of the trade deadline. Frank talked with their GM recently on a new episode of Frankly Speaking and brought up their need for a goaltender while Gregor thinks that they need to add something to their blueline.

Tyler swung by with a new edition of Buy or Sell delivered by DoorDash. He asked the guys about Corey Perry, the Bruins centre depth, and the playoff race out in the Western Conference.
