Hey folks, sorry about the late start. The two trades broke right as I was about to start this.
It'll have to be a short one, so I'll get started as soon as a few questions come in.

Hey Gavin. Do you think this is a precursor for more Leafs trades, or just a way to alleviate some pressure on the # of contracts situation?
Gavin Lee
6:44
Both.
6:45
The 50 cap was not something that Lamoriello was comfortable with, and needed to be broken to make any moves at the deadline.
I think the Maple Leafs make a few more trades before the deadline, but I wouldn't expect any major moves.

Is Randy Carlyle Kevin Bieksa's dad? Pettersson better play tonight, he can't possibly be worse than Bieksa.
Gavin Lee
6:46
Carlyle lineup decisions have frustrated fans for years and years and years and years.
You'll have to just get used to them.

What have you heard about a Rick Nash/Ryan McDonagh 3 team trade involving Toronto as a landing spot for McDonagh and Nashville as a landing spot for Rick Nash? And what do you think the price would be on either RM or Nash?
Gavin Lee
6:47
I have heard nothing about that, should I have?
I don't think McDonagh lands in Toronto.
6:48
I'd bet he gets moved in the summer, but he'll fetch an impressive price.
It'll be a package of young players and picks, but will change depending on how good the young player is.

Is Mike green back to D.C. a real possibility?
Gavin Lee
6:48
People keep talking about it, but I don't see how it can work.
6:49
Can't see Washington pulling that move two years in a row, there are cap issues, and a tough fit into that blueline.
6:50
It could happen, sure. Reporters are still talking about it. But it just seems so much more unlikely than Tampa, for instance.

I am unfamiliar with rules regarding players like Troy Terry. When can the Ducks sign him to an ELC and play him for either the NHL team or AHL team?
Gavin Lee
6:50
Technically they could sign him right this instant if he wanted to bail on the Olympics and DU.
But he won't, obviously.
6:52
They'll approach him after Denver's season is over, and try to get him signed. He could immediately step into the NHL on the first year of his ELC...go to the AHL on an amateur tryout and have his ELC start in 2018-19...or do a little of both.
He can't become a free agent until after NEXT season at DU.
Thanks for the chat
6:52
Do you think McD can bring back such as marner and Nash bring back tolvanen
Gavin Lee
6:53
I'd say zero chance on Marner, and 1% on Tolvanen.
Both are pretty much untouchable.
Garnett
6:53
I heard it on hockeybuzz.com....purely a rumor but sometimes those rumors have some backing...just curious if it was just them trying to generate more foot traffic or if others were hearing things
Gavin Lee
6:53
I'm not going to say anything negative about hockeybuzz.

Hey Gavin, the late start allowed me the chance to join haha what are your thoughts on the Pacioretty to Calgary for Bennett, 1st plus small piece that’s quietly made the rounds the past week?
Gavin Lee
6:55
Is that the stuff that came out of Recrutes?
6:56
Honestly it sounds like speculation to me, but realistic at least. The Flames certainly are in the market for a forward with term, and Pacioretty fits that mold.
6:57
Bennett is such a frustrating story to watch in Calgary.
Should be so much more productive, but can't seem to get on a roll.
Kipper
6:57
Where is CALVIN.PICKARD?
Calvin Pickard
6:57
CALVIN. PICKARD.
Gavin Lee
6:57
You all thought he'd abandoned you. But he would never do that.
Red
6:58
Teams have called about DeKeyser and Howard? What could the Wings get for them?
Gavin Lee
6:58
Trading a starting goalie in-season almost never brings back a big return.
6:59
One with an expensive contract even harder.
DeKeyser I think would actually draw some interest if he didn't have such a long contract.
