Whats the update with the islanders and their pursuit of panarin, varlamov, and possibly other bottom 6 FA like boyle etc. also it seems the trade talk about leddy has been ice cold the last couple of weeks
Gavin Lee
9:25
I think the Leddy stuff will pick back up once the Panarin decision is made.
If they really commit $11M+ there will have to be corresponding moves
Gary
9:26
Any chance the B's dump Backes today?
Gavin Lee
9:26
Doubt it's today
The Cup
9:26
Anything on the Blues radar today? Or still celebrating
Gavin Lee
9:26
They have already brought back the entire blue line basically, so I think they'll only be after forwards. But even that seems like a reach for any of the big names.
Danny
9:26
Has there been any word on where Colorado is at with an extension for Rantanen or is it just assumed it will get done with all that cap space?
Gavin Lee
9:27
It'll get done. Lots of time.
Michael
9:27
Who do you think gets the contract that ends up looking the worst a few years from now
Gavin Lee
9:27
I mean Hayes is already that for me.
Guest
9:27
does anyone have any idea of myers asking price?(van)
Gavin Lee
9:27
Sounds like it will be five years, $30MM ($6M AAV)
Dan
9:28
Varly to Isles a legitimate thing now?
Gavin Lee
9:28
Very legitimate, though not official yet.
Me
9:29
From rumoured contracts and deals made since the draft, which team do you think has improved the most?
Gavin Lee
9:29
Probably the Devils if you include Jack Hughes
Chicago has added some nice pieces on the back end
9:30
In terms of the signings that are about to go down, the Panthers obviously improve a bunch with Bobrovsky
Duchene in Nashville is a good fit but I'm still not sure how much they really needed him.
Fabbri...
9:31
Blues have 14 forwards if they sign all of their RFAs. Do you think any of them should be moved to make room for a free agent or Kyrou/Kostin
Gavin Lee
9:32
I guess you have a candidate, from your username
Fabbri feels like a "fresh start" candidate for sure.
Me
9:32
Have the Devils and Blackhawks done enough to be competitive in their divisions? Being at the bottom (Devils) and second from the bottom (Blackhawks)
Gavin Lee
9:32
I imagine both will be competitive, don't know if either should be considered a real contender
Michael
9:33
Is there a rain Rantanen didn't get more of the offer sheet chatter?
Gavin Lee
9:33
It didn't happen because the Avalanche have lots of cap room, so when media members are looking for an offer sheet opportunity they can't realistically put it on them.
The actual chatter is generally fabricated.
Guest
9:34
eh not as bad as ericsson ig, but risky
Gavin Lee
9:34
That might be true. Myers though could be another one, which isn't a good look for Vancouver.
BREAKOUT ACNE
9:34
Everybody talks about the Ceci to TO talk but I like the addition of Harpur as a cheap 5/6 guy, especially if any of the rookies dont pan out at least early on.
Gavin Lee
9:34
Yeah he's a nice depth pickup, though I hesitate to call him a 5/6 on a team expected to challenge for the Stanley Cup.
9:35
I think Toronto will see him more as a 7/8
Jake
9:35
Where does the legendary Greg McKegg sign?
Gavin Lee
9:35
That's what we're all waiting to find out.
Fred
9:35
If the Rangers are “silent”,do you still see them trading Kreider .And if so,WHY?
Gavin Lee
9:36
Don't think a Kreider move happens today
But it still does seem likely, since there hasn't been much extension talk.
Kaitlyn
9:36
Why did Dallas make the trade with Philly just to lose Hartman
Gavin Lee
9:36
It does seem odd, doesn't it. I think they wanted out of the Pitlick deal and thought they might be able to convince Hartman.
