• Can the Bolts Take the East? Flyers Surge & Blues Show Life | DFO Rundown

  Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek!Marek opens the show by diving into the Vezina conversation, following up on the debate between Rupp and Gregor about which young goalie could win one first. Marek sides with Rupp, choosing Lukas Dostal — noting that Anaheim appears to be the closest to contention among the young-goalie teams.In Vegas, Carter Hart has been recalled by the Golden Knights. His numbers in Henderson weren’t impressive, and the rust is still evident, but the guys debate what his impact could be — and how fans and players alike may react to the polarizing goaltender’s return.The Flyers have been another surprise, backed by strong goaltending from Dan Vladar. Trevor Zegras, meanwhile, has shown real growth since arriving in Philadelphia, and the guys dive into his shootout wizardry and newfound maturity.St. Louis struggled early with defensive breakdowns and shaky goaltending, sinking them to the bottom of the Central Division. They appear to be stabilizing now — but can they realistically dig their way out of the early-season hole?The President’s Trophy chase between the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche sparks a debate about who has the better shot at the Stanley Cup. Gregor leans Stars — and wonders whether Dallas could look at Mason Marchment if Seattle becomes a deadline seller.The Jets, meanwhile, are 1-4-0 without Connor Hellebuyck, and the Central’s top three are pulling away. Marek stresses Winnipeg’s need for a true second-line center. Can the Jets tread water long enough to stay in the Wild Card race?With the Leafs’ playoff odds sitting at just 11%, the guys debate whether Toronto can climb back into the race — or if the season is already slipping away.In Tampa Bay, John Cooper has turned the ship around. The Lightning are back atop the Atlantic Division, with Vasilevskiy, Point, and Kucherov heating up. Gregor and Marek both see Vasy as a major Vezina contender at this point in the season.Lastly, the Predators could become one of the league’s most intriguing sellers. Which player is their most valuable trade asset? Filip Forsberg, Ryan O’Reilly, Juuse Saros, and Steven Stamkos headline the list of potential deadline chips, and the guys lay out ideal landing spots for a few of them.Want to hear more from Jason and the entire DFO team?
