Daily Faceoff Live

The Calgary Flames are suddenly within one point of a playoff spot after another win, raising questions about the direction of the franchise. We discuss the art of the tank, why front offices can try to rebuild but players and coaches aren't wired to lose, and whether Calgary is missing that one elite, game-changing prospect.

With four top-six draft picks since their last playoff appearance, are the Flames stuck somewhere in the middle? We also look at the other side of a rebuild and how the Chicago Blackhawks have struggled to surround their young talent with enough support. Which NHL coaches are already feeling the heat after the first month of the season?

We put Scott Arniel, Jeff Blashill and Rick Bowness on the hot seat and debate just how much pressure each coach is facing. In This or That, we debate whether Dylan Larkin will be traded by Christmas or Nikita Kucherov will be moved before the NHL trade deadline. Which organization will be more stubborn? We also discuss which Florida Panthers goalie will get more starts this season: Sergei Bobrovsky or Anthony Stolarz.

Steve Peters joins us for Inside the Coaches Room to discuss the New Jersey Devils and Anaheim Ducks, while we answer your questions in #AskDFO. Plus, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is set to make Edmonton Oilers history by setting the franchise record for games played. We look at what the milestone means for one of the most consistent players in Oilers history.

Nikita Kucherov reportedly wants out of Tampa Bay after 13 seasons with the Lightning. We react to the stunning report involving the reigning NHL MVP, discuss Julien BriseBois’ response, and break down reports that Tampa Bay lowballed its superstar during contract discussions.

Is there any chance the Lightning actually move Kucherov, or will the organization stand firm? If Kucherov becomes available, which NHL teams are best positioned to pull off a blockbuster trade?

We look at the assets contenders could offer, whether Tampa Bay would consider taking future assets to flip for immediate help, and the possibility of a bigger deal involving Dylan Larkin. Plus, the Seattle Kraken trade Shane Wright to the Nashville Predators for Matthew Wood.

We get Ellis and Larkin’s reactions to the deal and discuss what it means for both teams. We also debate the NHL’s best team right now, including whether the Edmonton Oilers deserve to be in the conversation, and look at the goaltending performances of Tristan Jarry and Matt Tomkins.
