Gavin Lee

I think they will definitely check in. Byfield could be involved, but they have enough young assets that he wouldn't necessarily be needed, I don't think.
Is that the answer though in LA?
Ducks
6:25
When will the ducks go in full rebuild mode? Is Murray on the hot seat?
Gavin Lee
6:26
I think the hope is that they can do a kind of rebuild-on-the-fly instead of a complete tear down
But I don't think it's going to work
Gabe
6:26
What’s your thought on the Devils first few games? Prognosis for the rest of the season?
Gavin Lee
6:26
Jack Hughes looks like he aged 5 years.
In a good way.
6:27
They won't make the playoffs, but it will be a fun ride.
Losing Blackwood to the COVID list is tough
Andreas Athanasiou
6:27
Is he the real deal looks good in a small sample?
Gavin Lee
6:27
Be cautious of your praise for a player performing above career norms on a losing team.
6:28
Athanasiou has done this before
I'd be pumping his numbers and moving him at the deadline if I was LA.
Sharks fan
6:28
I agree. I think Doug Wilson’s tenure will be decided by the end of next season.
Gavin Lee
6:29
Maybe, but he is very, very well liked in that organization.
John Mozeliak
6:29
Who is Vegas going to sacrifice to get Cody Glass and some of the other young guns back on the team?
Gavin Lee
6:29
Do they need to?
Vegas is 4-0
6:30
They look like a Cup contender, why do they need to go young?
John
6:30
is COVID going to prevent any big trades from occurring within the season?
Gavin Lee
6:30
It probably already has, to be honest.
6:31
But yes, I'm not really sure what the trade market is going to look like, but I don't think the broadcasters will need full day coverage on deadline day.
Robb
6:31
At the deadline, will players coming from Canadas toilet have to quarantine for 14 days before playing for America's hat?
Gavin Lee
6:31
I think this means players moving from the U.S. to Canada
Unless the federal quarantine rules change, yes.
6:32
For a minimum, after they arrive*
A deadline deal could mean you don't see that player on the ice for up to three weeks. That's a tough sell.
Ross
6:33
Where are all the PHR writers from and do you quietly have favorite teams?
Gavin Lee
6:33
We are dotted around North America. My usual response to this question is, if you can't tell who my favorite team is, I'm doing my job correctly.
6:34
However, doing this job for the last several years has actually made me appreciate the whole league--as disappointing as that may seem.
John
6:34
You suiting up at goalie for the blackhawks anytime soon?
Gavin Lee
6:34
I will happily strap on the pads if they ask.
6:35
But you better know that if there is ever an empty net, I'm going for goal every time the puck comes near me.
6:36
(who am I kidding, the Hawks would never be up with me in net)
Mikedickinson
6:36
Canes need to sign Dougie and Svech long term. Personally I think this takes them out of the running for Laine. Thoughts?
Gavin Lee
6:36
I think you are probably right, if the Hamilton contract gets done.
6:37
I don't really see how they could do both, unless they're willing to move on from someone else
And I don't mean just getting rid of Jake Gardiner or something. I mean a core piece.
To be honest I don't think they need Laine anyway.
