Logan Couture Opens Up About Retirement, Injuries & the Sharks' Future | DFO Rundown Insider Edition

In this episode of DFO Rundown Insider Edition, the guys make their weekly stops in Toronto and Vancouver amidst the GM searches for both teams.

Later, former San Jose Sharks captain Logan Couture joins the program for a candid conversation about his transition away from the ice. He shares the mental hurdles of a career-ending injury, his newfound "dad mode," and the support he’s received from former teammates like Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau. He also offers his perspective on the current state of the Sharks, the impact of Macklin Celebrini, and why he’s skeptical about the NHL expanding beyond 32 teams.

To wrap things up, the crew addresses the mounting trade speculation surrounding Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk and why those rumors aren't going away anytime soon.

Meet our insiders: Irfaan Gaffar of Daily Faceoff, Canucks Army, & Rink Wide Vancouver is joined by David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, SiriusXM NHL, and NHL Network. They look around the NHL, reacting to the week's news and digging into the contracts, trades, and moves that are still on the horizon.
