It is the bane of my existence

Does Point get his contract extension this off-season?
Gavin Lee
9:48
You won't have to wait long

Do the Lightning make any more moves to move around salary?
Lightning

Seems like we have one forward spot open. Who do we target?
Gavin Lee
9:48
I meant to click the second one, but I'll answer both
9:49
I do think they might move out one more bigger contract
And for the last spot, it'll go to a cheap veteran, I believe
Matteau Matteau Matteau

Can the Rangers trade for Eichel and have both he and Mika together long-term?  Seems like a stretch with the cap.  If they land Eichel (and I’m not sure about it, depends on the package and his health), which one would you choose to keep?
Gavin Lee
9:50
Well if you land Eichel you have to keep him, right? I mean you don't trade for him for one year
But no, I don't see how he and Zibanejad can co-exist, if the latter's ask is really 10 milion
Sharks

Best guess, which goalie do we sign today? Part 2… is Wenneberg a fit or too pricey?
Gavin Lee
9:53
Sounds like there has been a connection to Reimer
Which could be a solution if you believe in Hill
And, I think someone is going to overpay Wennberg, so probably a good fit in San Jose
Just kidding
Purt
9:54
Do the Bruins have any big moves coming their way? Also, what do the Hurricanes do to replace Hamilton,  assuming he leaves?
Gavin Lee
9:54
Apparently they are replacing him with DeAngelo
Which again, good luck with that
Islanders
9:55
Who replaces Eberle on 1st line?
Gavin Lee
9:55
Leo Komarov
Islanders
9:56
-_-

Remember that the team is getting Anders Lee back. Adding Palmieri and Parise
They'll mix and match 4 lines just like they always do
9:57
I don't think it would really surprise anyone to see Richard Panik up there for some games
Hello
9:57
I thought the flat cap would depress the market. What happened?
Gavin Lee
9:58
It did, these contracts would be much higher if the cap was at 90 million right now
Chris

Off topic for today, the league has scheduled for it, but what are the chances Olympic participation actually happens?
Gavin Lee
9:58
I think it's probably 70/30 that it does happen at this point
9:59
Which is very exciting, but not enough to be confident in

Seems for yrs gm’s we’re looking for that offensive d’man.  Now I can’t find many who are actually good at defense. Why not take these “d’men” and just make them forwards? (FYI: old guy who still misses Bob Plager hip checks)
Gavin Lee
10:01
You can't find any defensemen that are good at defense?
You aren't watching closely enough, my friend
There are better defensemen now than there have ever been in the NHL
10:02
A player like Jaccob Slavin would have been one of the greatest players of all-time, if you just dropped him into the league 30 years ago
Wally

Is Nemeth any better than Brendan Smith, who could be had for 1 yr/ $900k?
Gavin Lee
10:03
Better than Smith, yes
Good enough for three years at 2.5, no
I have no idea why they're signing that contract
Chris
10:04
Biggest overpay risks?
