Hello and welcome to another chat! I'll be right with you in a moment
Landeskog just got 2 games.

Seriously?  This again?  Last year Tony D, now Vitali Kravtsov.  What next??  What will they get in return?

The ask I guess was "top-six potential"
6:09
But I'm not entirely sure what that means exactly. Another prospect that hasn't panned out yet?
Someone still outside the NHL?
A second-round pick?
6:10
I'm not really sure, and I can't see anyone giving up a huge piece for Kravtsov at this point, mainly because of the risk of the KHL. He's an RFA this summer who could easily bolt if not in the right situation
Say you trade for him, and he reports to your AHL team like he promised.
When do you need to call him up before he is fed up with the new team?
What if you don't call him up at all, will he re-sign?
It's too hard
So I think it'll end up being a pretty disappointing return

What do you see the Wild doing this season?

I honestly don't love their roster all that much. I know people are excited because Kaprizov signed and everything, Eriksson Ek coming into his own.
But Boldy's injury is really disappointing, and I'm not so sure about the defense like I have been in the past.
6:13
I'm a little underwhelmed by the depth scoring at this point
Are they better than the Coyotes, Predators and Blackhawks? Probably.
Are they better than the Avalanche or Jets? Probably not.

What did you think of the Krakens first game?
Gavin Lee
6:20
They started the game by playing beer league hockey--haha. Guys were flying all over the place with absolutely zero structure
Probably just excitement/nerves
but they also showed a lot coming back, though I think it was more about Vegas taking their foot off the pedal than anything
6:21
They can't fall behind in games, that's going to be the test for them
If they can get a 1-0 lead in a game, they're going to make it really tough
6:30
Alright folks I figured this would happen a little bit into the season. Trade talks aren't really a thing right now, so no one needs to chat. I'm going to shut it down, and try again next week!
