He signed in the KHL, but I haven't kept tabs on if he's playing
6:52
He is!
Good for him.
Already has two points in three games.
Harry
6:52
Tarasenko + Tavares would be insane
Gavin Lee
6:52
It sure would.
Harry
6:53
What does Jake Gardiner's next contract look like? Can the Leafs afford to pay him?
Gavin Lee
6:53
Obviously a lot depends on where the Leafs land with their big three.
6:54
Gardiner has really come into his potential in Toronto, and could probably push for $6MM per season on a 5-6 year deal. Obviously depends on the next few years, but there will likely still be some hesitant GMs due to his high risk style.
6:55
I doubt he'll ever get paid like a true #1 guy though.
Chris

What are you expecting from Shipachyov???
Gavin Lee
6:55
Lots of highlights, but overall a pretty inconsistent season.
6:56
There will be some WOW moments from this Vegas team.
Also, though I know we haven't switched over to it on the site yet..he wants to be known as Shipachev here.
He decided on that english spelling.
Harry
6:57
Will the Vegas team carry any of their three 1st round picks on their roster this season?
Gavin Lee
6:57
I would be floored if they did.
Glass maybe has a very outside chance, but he should go back and win the WHL scoring title instead.

6:57
Favorite team ?
Gavin Lee
6:58
I have one, but I try to stay as objective as possible on the site.
I will say that I'm an early fan of Vegas.
Jack Aubrey
6:58
Any thoughts on the youth movement in Boston? Who stands out?
Gavin Lee
6:58
Anders Bjork will walk in and be a top-6 forward.
But really, McAvoy has to be everyone's favorite.
6:59
Every single game I've ever watched of his, at every level, I thought he was one of the best players on the ice
7:00
He is a counter punching monster, and you'll see it this year.
7:01
Overall thoughts, it should be a fun year.
But losing Krug is a tough start.
Lots of pressure on the kids.
Chris
7:02
Timetable on Krug ??
Gavin Lee
7:02
Re-evaluated in three weeks they said, but he has a broken jaw.
7:03
I don't know anything about the severity. They didn't release much.
But other players have returned pretty quickly, with it wired and wearing a cage
7:04
Alright guys, I'll leave it there.
If you haven't seen it yet, check out the new Bauer concussion collar: http://www.tsn.ca/new-collar-technology-aims-to-curb-concussions-1.396...

I'm not affiliated or anything, but am a strong proponent of trying to get brain injuries down in all sports.
7:06
Would love to see fewer careers ruined by them.
Even rec careers.
See you next week!
