Hello and welcome to another chat!
We'll get started in just a few minutes
Mike
6:06
Would love to see the caps get jarnkrok and an upgrade In goaltending.  What are possible trades caps make?
Gavin Lee
6:06
The Caps don't have a ton of ability to make big trades, as Mantha is close to a return
I do wonder about the goaltending though, as you say
6:07
Jarnkrok is going to be a very popular name near the deadline
I don't think Washington will be able to make a bunch of moves though, just cause of their cap situation
Steve
6:07
What do you suspect the ducks will end up doing at the deadline?
Gavin Lee
6:08
I think that they will end up trading several pieces
But I'm not sure that includes Lindholm or Manson, to be honest
6:09
I wouldn't be surprised if both make it through the deadline
ol 82nd guy
6:09
With DeAngelo down (B. Smith also) does Don Waddell start looking for help via trades?  Who could he target?
Gavin Lee
6:10
Yeah that's what I kind of touched on in today's piece. They've already been in on lots of trade talks, if only to figure out prices
I think they will be aggressive, if they need to be.
6:12
I wonder if someone like Troy Stecher could find a new home there, at least for a little while
Denny McLain
6:12
what expiring contracts do you for see the Red Wings trading for draft picks before the deadline?
Red Wings deadline
6:12
Half of the Red Wings UFAs traded at deadline along with at least one of Bertuzzi, Suter, Hronik..?
Gavin Lee
6:12
That takes me to Detroit, where I think several of the UFAs will be dealt, yes.
Vladdy Namestnikov is an interesting one to me
6:13
He's shown an ability to kind of chameleon his way in wherever he needs to fit
Lots of contenders will like that
Cody
6:13
Does JT Miller get moved
Gavin Lee
6:14
You know I actually think he does. My spidey sense went up a bit when everyone all at once started talking about how "the Canucks may keep him!"
It's just a hunch, but I think they're trying to squeeze the most they can
Hextall
6:15
What would it take to keep Rust in town at a "hometown discount " and opposed to what he might get on the open market? Non related, what do you think the asking price for max domi is?
Gavin Lee
6:15
Can we all just agree to stop calling this a hometown discount, when it's not at all the player's hometown
A hometown discount for Rust would be signing in Detroit
6:16
But to answer the question, it's going to take a lot. He deserves a long-term deal with a substantial raise
I don't think anyone gets him on a deal shorter than five years
6:17
Do you want that? It's certainly risky right?
He's hurt a lot, he's going to turn 30 in May
But he's also having another fantastic season
6:18
Maybe the Penguins get the price tag down by biting the bullet on an even longer contract, and just saying the hell with the post-Crosby years
But Rust's future is tied directly to Letang's, I would imagine
Brian
6:19
Hey Gavin, lots of Giroux to the Avs talk, do you see this happening and is he what they need to get over the hump?
Gavin Lee
6:19
Well he certainly wouldn't hurt their chances of going deep in the playoffs.
Giroux is still a good player, and a trade might honestly rejuvenate him more than he knows right now
But it will not be just the Avalanche bidding
6:20
Even a team like the Maple Leafs, with their newly found cap space, could be in that race
Guest

are the LA Kings the front runners for Jakob Chychrun?
