Man, I'll have to open up the queue closer to the start of the chat next week. So many great questions to get through, haven't even gotten to any that were asked after the chat started

I'll speed run what I can here over the next 8 minutes

Dblek

2:52

Do the Pens move Jarry?

Josh Erickson

2:53

That would be very un-Dubas like

BB-STC

2:53

Can you remind me why buying out Parise and Suter was a good idea with the cap hits? With the buyouts the Wild are a bad non-playoff team that are wasting Kaprizov's peak years. Would we have been worse if we would have just kept them on the team and bury them on the 4th line.

Josh Erickson

2:53

Never thought it was the right move!

Jason

2:53

Who do you see Vegas resigning any other free agents or bringing in anyone new?

Josh Erickson

2:53

They'll move heaven and Earth to get Marchessault re-upped, despite the chatter over the past few days that they haven't started talks. I think they're just trying to get a better sense of what cap-clearing trades are out there.

Slapper

2:54

If you are Danny Briere, what’s your number 1 priority this off-season for the Flyers?

Josh Erickson

2:55

I think they stay the course. They seem to view this year as unexpected progress. Can't imagine there's anything major.

Wsmeltzer24

2:55

Do you see the Capitals trading for a top 6 forward? If so who could they target.

Josh Erickson

2:55

They've been trading for a top 6 forward for the past 3 years, according to GMBM – lol

2:56

I'm not sure what's out there that makes sense for them, although he may surprise me. But I don't think there's anything that fits for them now that didn't before, and he hasn't pulled the trigger on anything.

Lets Go Rangers

2:56

Any chance they can off load Trouba somewhere this offseason?(Utah, maybe?) Can’t remember if he has a full or partial NMC.

Josh Erickson

2:56

Has a full NMC, downgrades to 15-team no-trade list on July 1, but they're not moving him

Predict it

2:57

What will Shesterkin’s next contract look like?

Josh Erickson

2:57

I'd guess eight years at $9.5MM

Lightning21

2:57

True or False: Julien BriseBois effectively slammed the Lightning's window shut with the Jeannot trade. (Don't know if they would've won again regardless, but I think there's a pretty strong case to be made that JBB's temporary insanity took away any chance.)

Josh Erickson

2:58

Yeah, you could make the argument, but I think it was more detrimental to your ability to rebound after Stamkos leaves/retires. That 1st could've really helped, and you HAVE to think one of the other four picks could've been somebody.

Avs fan

2:58

Other than Eiserman is there a consensus top 15 player who could drop into the late 1st round

Josh Erickson

2:59

Berkly Catton, but I'd be more surprised to see him drop past 15 than Eiserman. Neither deserve to drop... I think Eiserman rehabbed his value nicely at the end of the season

Alright, last one

Lightning21

2:59

Conn Smythe pick from each remaining team right now?

Josh Erickson

3:00

Heiskanen, Draisaitl, Shesterkin and...

3:01

Hard to pick someone from FLA, so balanced at the top. I'd lean Verhaeghe slightly right now

Alright, folks. Great questions today. See you all next week!
