Hello and welcome to another chat!
I'll let a few things roll in and get started in a minute
Mike
6:05
Looks like Kakko is finding his groove. Will we see the same from Lafreniere soon?
Gavin Lee
6:05
It'll really have to take more than 11 minutes a night, or whatever they're giving him.
6:06
I don't know if it'll happen this season for him.
One thing I should point out though, is that even though Lafreniere feels like he's been around a while, he still only has 77 games under his belt
He has 17 goals in those games.
Andrei Svechnikov, for instance, had 20 goals and 37 points in his first full season
6:07
Don't rule him a bust just yet!
Jeff

Will the Bruins trade Debrusk to Arizona for kessel ?
Gavin Lee
6:07
Haha now that is a proposal
I don't think that'll happen, but it would be all kinds of fun if it did
Pawtucket
6:08
I asked this in the mailbag, but figured I'd try here too.
What do you make of the Canadian tire-fire's that are the Senators, Canadians, Canucks, and possibly even the Jets (more recently)?
Gavin Lee
6:08
We'll see if Brian gives a similar answer!
The Senators are in the situation I would dread, as a rebuilding GM
6:09
I can't stress this enough, young teams need a real goaltender
Don't let them just watch pucks go in behind them when they make mistakes. Even if you don't want to really win, as you want the high draft pick, you can't just let your kids get pummeled every night
Matt Murray was supposed to be that, but it's not like these struggles came out of nowhere
6:10
Personally, I think I would have invested some more in a tandem guy for him--like what about the $2M they gave to Del Zotto?
For Montreal, it was a house of cards really
6:11
Price, Weber and especially Danault were holding them up in the playoffs
Remember they lost Tatar as well, who was excellent during the regular season for them
The thing that really concerns me in Montreal is Jeff Petry
6:12
If only because I thought, if there was a rebuild coming, he could be sold off for a huge price given his reasonable contract
But now, I think people would be scared to even come near him.
The Canucks have a terrible defense that they put too much money in. That was my take before the season, and it's my take now
I know the forwards haven't lived up to the billing, and Demko isn't bailing them out as much as he should be
But the defense is bad, real bad
6:13
Four of them are signed for another 2 seasons, three of them for at least three more
That's not good

Does Malcom Subban become the starting goalie for Buffalo?
Gavin Lee
6:13
Looks like he will for the immediate future anyway
6:14
With Tokarski on the protocol and Anderson still out
Moving forward, I very highly doubt it
John
6:14
Saw the clip of Eichel skating. What will Vegas do to get under the cap assuming he will be back before the playoffs
Gavin Lee
6:14
Honestly I have no idea
6:15
Still think Reilly Smith is the easiest flip, but if Karlsson is healthy by the time Eichel comes back they need to move out more than that
Dadonov should go as well, but with another year it'll be tough
My mind keeps coming back to an offseason trade of Pacioretty, but I'm not sure what to expect at this point.
Jackets fan

Whats the chances the jackets add some defence.
