Which NHL Stars Will Actually Become Free Agents? + Jets w/ Andrew Paterson

Daily Faceoff Live

Show Notes

The NHL's biggest stars could be approaching some major career decisions, but how many will actually make it to free agency?

On this edition of Daily Faceoff Live, the guys rank the likelihood that five high-profile players reach the open market: Ryan O'Reilly, Nikita Kucherov, Quinn Hughes, Jason Robertson and Erik Karlsson. Could some of these players sign extensions before they ever get the chance to test free agency? And if time allows, the conversation turns to which stars could be traded before the season is over.

The show opens with Alex Tuch continuing his strong start with the Washington Capitals, scoring twice in a win over Montreal. The guys also discuss the Canadiens' goaltending situation when everyone is healthy and what the organization should do with its options.

Dallas finally gets a win, beating Colorado 3-2 in a shootout, but does that result actually ease concerns about the Stars' offence? The guys break down what they saw and discuss Casey DeSmith's performance.

Andrew Hustler of Winnipeg Sports Talk joins the show, followed by another edition of #AskDFO. The crew also previews the Oilers' matchup against the Utah Mammoth as Edmonton looks to remain undefeated, while the winless Flyers face the Red Wings.
