Remaining NHL Free Agents, Patrik Laine & the Return of the Panthers | DFO Rundown

Jason Gregor and Mike Rupp return for another Daily Faceoff Rundown, breaking down the biggest NHL offseason storylines with training camp just around the corner.

The guys take a look at the remaining NHL free agents looking for contracts, including Patrik Laine, Vladimir Tarasenko, Riley Smith, David Perron and Adam Henrique. Could Patrik Laine be a fit with the Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Islanders or Philadelphia Flyers? With his power-play ability still one of his biggest weapons, where is the best landing spot for the former 40-goal scorer?

They also examine the Anaheim Ducks' offseason and whether their blue line is good enough to make another playoff push after losing veteran defensemen Jacob Trouba and Radko Gudas. Could Logan Stanley be a fit for Anaheim as the Ducks look to add some size and experience on defense?

Plus, the guys discuss Connor Ingram and the remaining goaltenders available on the free-agent market, the new NHL preseason schedule and its impact on veterans and players fighting for roster spots, and why the shortened preseason could change the way teams approach training camp.

The Rundown also takes a look at NHL betting projections, including the Vancouver Canucks' 74.5-point total, the race to win the Eastern and Western Conferences, and Patrick Kane's projected goal total in his return to Chicago.

Finally, Gregor and Rupp discuss whether the Florida Panthers can bounce back after an injury-filled season, why the Edmonton Oilers should be one of the NHL's biggest regular-season bounce-back teams, and what to expect from the New Jersey Devils under new GM Sunny Mehta.
