Who is better position for quick retool, NYR or OTT?
Gavin Lee
6:56
Interesting question.
6:57
At this very moment, I'd probably say NYR.
But if Karlsson is dealt for a mammoth package, that could definitely change.

What are your thoughts on James Neal's "illness" - would Vegas actually consider renting him given he could he part of a cup run? And In Tampa, what is their plan if Vasilevski goes down...cupboards seem pretty bear...
Gavin Lee
6:58
I've thought for a while that Neal still might get dealt, but the Golden Knights are apparently in the buyers market now.
In Tampa, I thought they would bring in another goaltender but Domingue has been good.
Budaj should be back at some point as well.

Thoughts on the Vatrano trade?
Gavin Lee
6:59
I actually do not like it at all from Florida's perspective.
I've never thought Vatrano was an NHL scorer, and a third-round pick isn't nothing.
It's not a lot, but it's not nothing.

Blackhawks next player dealt is....
Gavin Lee

Tommy Wingels (guess)

What percentage of the time are goalies traded at or near their peak value? I understand why it doesn't happen but it just feels very rare.
Gavin Lee
7:01
Schneider for #9 is probably as peak as it gets.
Lehner for a first might be his peak too (sorry Buffalo)
7:02
I say this every week, but in-season goalie trades are always underwhelming
Doug

Last one... whos more likely a Leaf by the end of the day Monday? Grabner, Glendening or Letestu.
Gavin Lee
7:02
I'll say Glendening.
Mike Dickinson

Carolina. Who and for what?
Gavin Lee
7:03
No one, for the coming storm.
I can't see them making a huge move at the deadline.
Ron Duguay

Does re-signing Josh Bailey indicate that Tavares will return to the Isles?
Gavin Lee
7:03
It doesn't hurt.
But no, it doesn't guarantee anything.
7:04
I don't think Tavares has made up his mind yet, and won't before the end of the year.
That's where we'll end tonight guys. Great chat, lots I didn't have time to get to.
I'll be doing a special chat on deadline morning from 9-11am CT
Come join me when all the fun is really happening
