Canucks and Oilers Rumors Fly + Winnipeg Worries Mount | DFO Rundown

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Mike Rupp!

We start the show with a quick recap of Rupper’s Thanksgiving yesterday.

The Vancouver Canucks have opened up their veterans to the trade market. Which players do Gregor and Rupp think are most likely to be moved out of Vancouver? And what will happen with the most polarizing trade piece of all, Quinn Hughes?

The Edmonton Oilers have seen major regression on the defensive end, going from an above-average defensive team to one of the worst in the league at insulating their goalies. What moves can be made to solidify the Oilers’ crease? The guys dive into options like Tristan Jarry and Jordan Binnington.

Gregor asks Rupp which young goaltender in the NHL has the best shot at earning a Vezina nomination—or even a win. Askarov, Dostal, Knight, and Wallstedt are all showing out to start the season. Which of these four would you bet on to get the first Vezina nod?

The Winnipeg Jets are 0-3-0 since losing their Vezina-winning goalie, Connor Hellebuyck. How concerned should Jets fans be?

Pat joins the show for another edition of Fill in the Blanks:

• Comrie needs to ____ to keep the Jets afloat
• 
  
• Hellebuyck at +2500 can win the Vezina if ____
• 
  
• The next team to become a seller is ____
• 
  
• A surprise buyer at the deadline is ____
• 
  

The guys highlight the parity in the league right now and the tight playoff race as we pass the U.S. Thanksgiving mark. Rupp talks about Scott Wedgewood and how team defensive metrics can help goalies achieve better numbers than expected.

Lastly, will the Colorado Avalanche chase down the Bruins’ points record? And if they cruise to the Central Division title, would it affect them come playoff time?
