Besides fleurys cap who think will come high
Did you think vegas signs neal long term
Gavin Lee
6:18
These kind of go together.
6:19
I don't think they sign Neal no. It makes little sense for them with the price tag he'll command.
He's a huge piece for them at the trade deadline.
6:20
In terms of highest salary going forward, it could be Shea Theodore depending on how he does this year.
If he proves his top-4 potential and they go long term, he could get a good chunk.
That said, there is so much money coming off the books for Vegas they could basically do anything.

Going in to next summer who do you think tops the  100 million   contract.
Gavin Lee
6:20
Tavares has a chance, but I don't actually think he'll top it.
Karlsson would be my bet.
Yeti Boy

Who will win the cup this year?
Gavin Lee
6:21
I think I had Calgary-Pittsburgh in the finals in my prediction a few weeks ago.
Jake

Who is Rutherford going to trade
Gavin Lee
6:21
Olli Maatta seems like a prime candidate.
6:22
But we'll see if he wants to give up a piece of the NHL roster when they're after a three-peat.
Brandon
6:22
Bruins playoffs or no?
Gavin Lee
6:22
It's going to be a dogfight between them, Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa.
Tampa should rebound, and even Carolina will be in the mix.
6:23
A couple of good teams from the Atlantic are going to miss the playoffs.
Joe zane
6:23
I would keep him he brings fans
Gavin Lee
6:23
Neal? He does, but he brings draft picks too.
Daniel
6:23
So for the Hawks this year is it Stanley Cup or bust?
Gavin Lee
6:24
I think it's that every year for the Hawks. You saw how the hockey world turned on them after their early exit.
They still had 100+ points last season and won the West.
They're a good team still.
Joe zane

Who do they sign long term vegas in your opinion thanks for your time gavin
Gavin Lee
6:25
Theodore will be there long-term, and I could see a guy like William Karlsson being a big part of the future.
But not much else from the roster right now. They took assets for short term flips, not long term rostering.
Jake
6:25
To what team
Gavin Lee
6:25
Re: Maatta...I'm not sure. If they go after an impact center, he'll likely have to be in the deal to even some salary.
Trevor
6:25
Where else is there going to be a team? I think they should consider Milwaukee, Seattle, or Quebec.
Gavin Lee
6:26
I love the Milwaukee idea, I've said that before. Interestingly, I mentioned Houston here months and months ago, and I do think it's a real possibility.
Quebec would work, but I still don't think it's happening for a while.

What are your thoughts on the Kylie Irving trade
Gavin Lee
6:26
Is that his sister?
6:27
Kidding, obviously.
But I think somehow the Cavs traded Irving and got better.
Guest
6:27
Predictions on where Franson, Vanek, Jagr and Stafford land??
Gavin Lee
6:28
I'll preface this by saying that I have no idea why these four aren't signed yet.
