Don't get me wrong, there have been many mistakes over the years.
7:24
But I think he'll get some time to fix it. If that doesn't happen, sure. But he's well respected and has been with that organization through it all
Devils fan

Give me something to be happy about this holiday season ... We're losing Hall ... Subban has stunk ... Hughes hasn't been as advertised ... There might be a light at the end of the tunnel but it seems very dim as of now
Gavin Lee
7:25
Hughes hasn't been as advertised? What did you expect from a tiny 18-year old?
He's an elite talent, don't give up on Jack Hughes yet
You're losing Hall but will get a nice christmas present out of it. You paid pennies for Subban in the first place.
7:26
All is not lost in the Devils' rebuild.

Who are your top three goalies as of this moment?  If Kuemper isn't in the top 3 how close is he in your opinion?
Gavin Lee
7:27
Boy it's tough. Kuemper is either in it or right outside of it.
I've always been a Connor Hellebuyck fan (I think once on here a few years ago I said I would take him over Vasilevskiy, that sure looked bad for a while)
7:28
Obviously Ben Bishop is playing great in Dallas.
Robin Lehner continues to be overlooked
Frederik Andersen is making Sheldon Keefe look great.
That Boston Tandem is excellent.
7:29
There is a lot of great goaltending around the league right now.
Islanders fan
7:29
As good as those goalies you mentioned are ... Do my Islanders have the best tandem?
Gavin Lee
7:29
They have a great one, but I'll put Boston and Dallas right there with them.
Arizona, Colorado and the Rangers too have been outstanding.
MA Fleury
7:30
Ahem ... Forgetting someone?
Gavin Lee
7:30
Yeah he's okay.
Haha. Fleury is the lifeblood of VGK hockey
Bruins
7:30
Any news on kovalchuk?
Gavin Lee
7:30
Wait a few more days.
7:31
He's due a big payment on Sunday.
Mike

Who do the coyotes add to make a deep playoff push?
Coyotes fan
7:31
Is there any real chance we can land Taylor Hall?  Adding him to Kessel and Stepan would really improve our top line no?  Are we for real?
Gavin Lee
7:32
I honestly am not completely sold on the Hall-to-Arizona idea, but it sounds like they have been one of the most aggressive.
They are going to add offense somewhere, undoubtedly, but again the Hall thing is going to be a bidding war.
7:33
For real? Yes, real enough to land a divisional spot in the Pacific.
Whether they'll be able to handle the playoffs? That's totally unproven at this point
Ron Duguay

Doug Wilson is usually active in the trade market, even while tight against the cap.  Since they have no first rounder, what do you see San Jose doing aside from praying that the goaltending improves under a new coach?
Gavin Lee
7:33
I don't think adding another player is really the answer.
7:34
Something has to change fundamentally about their system/depth chart/lockerroom, I'm not sure.
Changing the coach will get some run, if that doesn't work there might have to be a big change in the faces of the team.
Devils fan
7:34
What I meant about Hughes as advertised is we heard everywhere that Hughes was going to be big immediately ... I know he's got immense talent I guess I was just media fooled into expecting more is all
Gavin Lee
7:35
You definitely shouldn't have believed that he was going to be a star immediately. It's hard to do that, even for first overall picks.
I think I tried to temper expectations in this chat
7:36
I think I predicted something like 18 goals and 32 assists. That seems like a long shot at this point, but it's definitely possible if he gets it going in the second half.
Dale hunter
7:36
Gavin have heard any whispers lately about Dach possibly joining is in Czech?
Gavin Lee
7:36
I think the last thing the Blackhawks said was "we haven't even thought about it"
Connecting…
