I know that sounds worse than just "first line star" but it's incredibly important when you're building a full team
Space Ghost

Who is your #1 prospect (drafted, not draft eligible) right now?
Gavin Lee
6:41
Does Lafreniere still count as a prospect?
It's him, if he does
6:42
Even with the slow start
Otherwise, I guess I'm a little partial to someone like Bowen Byram
6:43
I guess he might not count either
Cole Perfetti is a special player
Quinton Byfield has a higher ceiling than probably anyone else
6:44
I love Trevor Zegras, Dylan Cozens
Brian

Gavin, any word on the avs injured players other than week to week?
Gavin Lee
6:44
Nothing really, other than Toews was supposed to be 7-10 days I believe, so he should be back pretty soon
6:45
I didn't like seeing Landeskog added to the CPRA list today
That is a little scary, given they just played the Wild
Burns Beard

Do the Sharks have many trade “assets” at this point? If so, what players would be most interesting to other teams?
Gavin Lee
6:45
There's the rub isn't it
6:46
Karlsson, Burns, Vlasic are all not really trade assets
Maybe you could argue that Couture is, but even that's hard given the length of the deal
So the big money isn't going anywhere
In terms of players that might be interesting? I'm sure that Radim Simek would draw some, signed for just $2.25MM
6:47
Ryan Donato could be flipped
Sorensen, Nieto, Marleau, could all be flipped out at the deadline for late-rounders
Someone would be willing to trade for Hertl, probably
The thing I always talk about on here is excess value though
6:48
The Sharks have none right now, which is why they're in such trouble
No one on their roster (save for maybe Mario Ferraro) is providing more than they're being paid
That's death in a cap system
Brian
6:48
Gavin, any word on Jon Toews condition? Is he going to miss the whole year?
Gavin Lee
6:48
No word, very private.
6:49
I couldn't even guess if he's going to miss the whole year, but there were some rumors of that when it first broke.
CN
6:49
Pens new GM will be?
Gavin Lee
6:49
I
6:50
I know lots want Hextall, but he was fired from the last job for being too slow.
Not sure that makes much sense for Pittsburgh right now
I don't think people should rule out John Ferguson Jr. as quickly as they have been
Seattle Kraken
6:51
Who is a surprise player a team might have leave unprotected for us due to salary cap issues? Get ready NHL we are coming! Let’s get Kraken
Gavin Lee
6:51
I don't think combing the rosters right now does much good, because there will be movement to fix some of the protection issues
6:52
But if you want to dream on players that could be huge for Seattle right away, think of those 23ish year old players who were drafted high but haven't clicked yet.
BB
6:54
Do you think a Bennett/Kylington for Danault/Mete trade would work out for both sides?
Gavin Lee
6:54
That's certainly interesting..but I don't think it makes a lot of sense for Montreal right now, as they look to really compete for the Cup
