On this episode of DFO Rundown: Insider Edition, David Pagnotta and Irfaan Gaffar break down the latest coaching carousel around the NHL. They discuss the Toronto Maple Leafs' ongoing search for a new bench boss and why names like Dallas Eakins and Patrick Roy are in the mix. Plus, they examine Nashville's decision to hand Chris MacFarland a major leadership role and what it means for the future of the Predators organization.
The guys also dive into some of the biggest trade and roster storylines heading into the offseason. David reveals details of a blockbuster trade framework between the Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens that nearly came together at the deadline, and explains why it could be revisited this summer. They also discuss Ottawa's search for a top-four right-shot defenceman, Detroit's plans to be aggressive in the market, Anaheim's willingness to listen on key young players, and much more as NHL front offices prepare for what could be a wild offseason.
