Is there a world where he performs better than a $6.5MM defenseman? Sure, but I don't think it's necessarily a guarantee, and you just locked him in at that number for seven years.

Did you see that Chabot played 37:50 on Tuesday night. That was 0:15 off Denis Wiseman's NHL regular season record. If Chabot was not playing in Ottawa would he get more recognition as being a top 5 defensemen?
Gavin Lee
6:27
It certainly doesn't help his brand that he plays in Ottawa
But let's just be clear, playing 37 minutes doesn't automatically make you a top 5 defenseman
6:28
Chabot's great and will compete for Norris trophies throughout his career.
Is he a top 5? I don't know, let's see him on a team that has any sort of playoff aspirations first.
Bruins
6:29
but kovalchuk says he wants to play for a contender . And Igor eronko said bruins had interest .Any truth to that cus he could work with krejci
Gavin Lee
6:29
I think the Bruins were interested when he was first coming over, but I trust McKenzie when he says they don't have any now.

Are the Pens trying to trade Galchenyuk?
Gavin Lee
6:30
I don't know if they are this moment, but they have at points this year.

Why don’t the ducks use some of their young forward capital to try to net a star scorer? They haven’t had one in a long time.
Gavin Lee
6:30
Hard to net a star without a) overpaying or b) losing him quickly afterwards.
6:31
Ask Buffalo about going to get a star scorer.
6:32
That $72MM for Jeff Skinner is the talk of the town right now
JNogle

What would you like to see the Kings do leading up to the trade deadline?
Gavin Lee
6:32
Sell anything that's not tied down
They just need to rebuild
They need to actually rebuild
6:33
It shouldn't take all that long.

Shea Weber is smoking hot right now. Do you think he has closed the gap enough between him and Carlson to make the Noris a close contest down the stretch?
Gavin Lee
6:34
I mean he's not the only person who is trying to catch Carlson
He's been incredible lately for sure, but Carlson is still on pace for 105 points.
6:35
If he cracks 100 there is zero chance anyone else wins the Norris.
Jason Zucker
6:38
What do I fetch on the open market?
Gavin Lee
6:38
If Guerin decides to shop Zucker, he'd get a boatload
He's a very good player.
boo this man

Dude where's Makar?
I'll leave

I read a few reporters say that the Habs were not as aggressive trying to acquire Hall because they still believe in Drouin's ability to take his game to the next level. Do you believe that Drouin was the major factor in negations? What is your feelings on Drouins potential at this stage of his career?
Gavin Lee
6:40
I don't know why Drouin's potential development should really impact whether or not you go after a rental winger that plays a completely different style
As for that potential development, sure--I think Drouin can get to a level he hasn't shown yet in his career.
6:41
But to think he's going to transform into this consistent superstar is foolish.
6:42
He's not a 21 year old kid anymore, he'll turn 25 in March.
Does he have a 70+ point season in him? Absolutely he does
Is he going to be that every year from here on out? I doubt it.
Bill
6:42
Do you think Rickard Rakell could be made available? If so, what kind of return from Bruins  would make this happen?
Gavin Lee
6:43
I have a hard time thinking that would happen during this season.
But at some point in the future if they decide to really blow it up, he would fetch a HUGE package.
Barry McCockiner
6:44
do the Jets need any forward help?
