Haha. I see you've met Jim Rutherford.

Do you think the Dallas Stars are going to sign any of these free agents today? Chara, Marleau and Joe Thornton too. I would sign these guys today. Thanks for your time today. Have a great weekend.
Gavin Lee
10:11
Well they're definitely not signing Chara
He's Boston-or-bust
10:12
But it would definitely fit the mold to sign Marleau
And Thornton has said he wants a Cup
But I don't really see any of them
What's the deal with...
10:13
Can you see the sens jumping in on a veteran winger a la Smith, Haula or bringing back Ennis. They need to fill the Duclair hole but also have a veteran presence for that young forward group
Gavin Lee
10:13
I'd be surprised if it's through free agency though
I would imagine they go the trade route for someone who needs to clear a contract
Maybe bring back Ennis just to trade him again
Neb

In a bidding war for Simmonds, wouldn't MTL be more likely to come out on top than TOR? We already saw them willing to overpay for Anderson, a younger Simmonds.
Gavin Lee
10:13
I don't think it will be a bidding war
10:14
I think it'll just be up to him on where he wants to go
Graham
10:14
Toronto gets Simmonds for sureeeeeeeeee
Gavin Lee
10:14
There is also this thought
What's the deal with...
10:14
Everybody talks about Toronto and Pietro, Brodie, Harmonic but could you see them pivoting and going LD 3rd pairing like Greene or Boro. Someone they can deploy less than 15 mins a game but rely on pk
Gavin Lee
10:15
Don't think so. They already have Rielly-Muzzin-Sandin on the left side, plus Dermott to sign.
Lehtonen is also left-handed, though he'll probably end up on the right
I also just don't think Greene would be interested
What's the deal with...
10:15
I'm a little surprised there has been almost no news on Mikku. Could be a fantastic 3C for cheap on any playoff team
Gavin Lee
10:16
I think you're overestimating Koivu's ability, but he definitely could be a 4C/PKer
On a good team, I mean
I think he'll get that chance too

You think there is a fit with Turris and the Leafs?
Gavin Lee
10:16
Only if he wants to play for $700K
Nick
10:16
Am I thinking too optimistically that the Golden Knights could sign a guy like Kyle Turris for cheap to help their center depth?
Gavin Lee
10:16
This is probably a better fit, but he'd still have to come VERY cheap
10:17
Maybe he does, since he's making $2M from Nashville already
BluesFan81
10:17
Is Petro possibly staying in STL?
Gavin Lee
10:17
They're talking
10:18
But they lost their 8th year capability last night, so they'll just have to present a better deal to him
Mckenny
10:18
Does P. Maroon's back to back cups get him signed earlier this year and will he get a multi year deal?
Gavin Lee
10:18
Boy does he have some bad luck
Maybe two years but I still don't think the market is hot on him
Too bad because he's a great locker room guy
ActuaryStudent
10:19
How many trades before noon from any teams to free up cap space do you see?
Gavin Lee
10:19
Definitely a couple in the pipe
Don't know if they actually come before noon, but teams are working out the puzzle
Goalies

Wings should trade for Jake Allen before Bergeron signs him for 7 yrs...
