Hello and welcome to another chat!
I'll get started in a few minutes.

Any rumblings on a possible Tarasenko trade?
Gavin Lee
6:11
None recently, not sure if it would happen at this part of the season. Maybe the deadline
But with the Blues winning, and Tarasenko playing well, it's hard to see
Mike

What is wrong with Lafreniere? Is it the player or coaching or no place to play him?
Gavin Lee
6:12
Right now, and really since he came up, his head is spinning. The game is moving faster than he is
There's no doubt he has all the talent to be successful, but the Rangers have been really quick on the trigger since he joined the league.
I think it was something like 7 games before he started getting benched in third periods
6:13
I think there was too much belief that he could step in and dominate, and the time wasn't invested in his growth. I'm worried that is going to rob us of a player who could have been special
But he's still young.

My local radio station was debating Gretzky/Orr as the GOAT. Thoughts?
Gavin Lee
6:13
Not even a discussion.
6:14
Calvin Pickard is the GOAT
Phil

Who do you think is the best goalie in NHL currently?
Gavin Lee
6:14
It's Vasilevskiy, still
6:15
There are great contenders, the New York Russians in particular, but they're not there yet
Ranger Rick
6:15
Kakko has yet to register a single point. Do you consider him to be a draft bust
Gavin Lee
6:15
It's the same as Lafreniere, really.
He might turn out to be a bust, but I don't think it was necessarily destined to be that way
6:16
This is the same kid who was excellent playing against NHL players at the 2019 Worlds, remember.
Just frustrating to watch them struggle.

With mike smith having more issues does Edm go goalie hunting? Koskinen is doing well but should Edm not go and try and get a “legit” top goalie? I keep thinking Gibson would be perfect if a deal can be struck. Hate to see Edm putting their season between Koskinen and smith
Gavin Lee
6:17
I feel like every fan in the league believes John Gibson is the answer to their team
I mean yeah, Gibson would be a nice piece for the Oilers.
But you'd need to move both Koskinen and Smith, and remember the Ducks are winning
6:18
I agree with you that going back with Smith and Koskinen was a mistake
But it's not just like you can wave a wand and change the situation midseason
Not without spending huge assets at least
Phil
6:18
So you have Russia winning Olympic gold then?
Gavin Lee
6:19
No, they don't have the defense.
I still have Canada winning, though obviously a tournament like that can be anyone
Mike

Nice to see the rookies doing well in the AHL. Perunovich Rossi quinn etc. Who gets or deserves the call up first? Also hope Newhook get a legit shot with his recent call up.
Gavin Lee
6:20
Perunovich would already be up if the Blues could have afforded it cap-wise
He's been outstanding
6:21
I don't see any reason to rush Quinn, so he'd be at the bottom for me
Rossi always seems to come up in these chats. I just don't think I can really even give an answer because I'd have to be closer to his medical/fitness testing
I wouldn't be against giving him the first 60+ games in the minors, if I was Minnesota
AJ
6:22
Crosby or McDavid?
Gavin Lee
6:22
For best player in the world right now?
