- Today, Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli continued their division preview series with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown. Today’s episode focused on the Central Division, which saw a handful of teams that made some major offseason changes.
Before they got into that, they welcomed a new partner into the show: Fountain Tire. That led to some questions that Frank had about how winter tires work up in Canada. They also talked about the news of James Van Riemsdyk signing in Columbus. Frank says it’s the first of a few expected moves by the Blue Jackets.
They kicked off the division preview by talking about the Chicago Blackhawks. What are expectations for Connor Bedard? How many rookies will be in the lineup? Did GM Kyle Davidson handle the offseason correctly? They answer all of those questions.
They then jumped into the NHL’s newest franchise: the Utah Hockey Club. GM Bill Armstrong had a pretty busy offseason as he basically revamped their entire blueline. Will that along with a collection of young forwards be enough to push them into the playoffs? Also, could their new home give the players a boost?
They also hit on the St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild, who were both on the outside of the playoff picture last year. Neither made massive waves over the summer and are banking on internal improvement. The guys broke down whether or not that was the right play.
Tyler then jumped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank, where he asked the guys about Mikko Rantanen’s next deal, Utah’s look heading into year one, and the chances of their being four 100-point teams in the division.
To wrap it up, they went through the four playoff teams from last year, starting with the Nashville Predators, who spent big in free agency and brought in Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault, and Brady Skjei. Winning the offseason doesnt always translate to winning in the regular season, could that be the case in Nashville?
They then moved on to the Winnipeg Jets, who are running it back once again with the same core group of players. Then there’s the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche, who are both once again looking like the class of the division.

![The Complete Story of Destiny! From origins to Shadowkeep [Timeline and Lore explained]](/img/1.gif)
I think the Blues roster has gotten overall better and i think they have good balance throughout the line up which is what they'll have to lean on. I expect them to be a wild card team and if they miss, it won't be by much.
LOL! Frank still pissy about the Blues stealing Holloway and Broberg. On paper, the Blues got much better. Krug missing the season is a net positive. And of course no love for Binner and Hofer being one of the best goalie duos in the whole league. Can't wait to surprise the heck out of you come mid season.
Blues fans are excited, that's for sure!
I was gonna say the same thing lol blues are making the playoffs! Thomas is gonna have 100 points binner is gonna be the best goalie in the west
Didn’t realize frank was a certified blues/stl hater
I predict Dallas, Nashville, Colorado , Utah/ Winnipeg, [could go either way] and they may all make the playoffs, followed by St.Louis, Minnisota, Chicago.
Minnesota will all come down to health. Brodin missed 19 games, Spurgeon out most of the season, Foligno was dealing with injury all year, even Faber had a broken rib down the stretch. If they stay healthy, fix their penalty kill (Sprugeon should help), and get league average goaltending they will be in the hunt for the playoffs. May fall just short but will finish better than last year.
@1:03:30What are you even talking about? Minnesota missing "a super duper star"...I guess you completely forgot Kaprizov exists
Bro BC is mandatory winter tires I believe from November to like the end of March, the interior driving on TransCanada in BC it can be brutal
Lmao when the man from Philadelphia knows more about Canada than the Canadian
October 1st to April 30th. Literally over half the year we have to have winter tires on here 😒
...it's literally BC with mandatory winter tire laws.
80%+ of our province isn't Vancouver and doesn't have coastal mild weather 🙄
Ontario I only use all season I find no difference between the two
Incredibly insightful stuff here from Seravalli (just kidding, it blows per usual).
Lmaooooo😂😂
Lmaoooo 😂😂😂
Loser
Frank is a tool.
