Thought on a Krug for Panarin deal?
Gavin Lee
7:08
It would have to be more than Krug, probably.
nylander
7:08
What should I be looking at? Thinking 6x6.85
Gavin Lee
7:09
I think the Maple Leafs would hold up Pastrnak's 34 goal season and $6.66MM cap hit as a counter to that.
I'm not sold it won't be a bridge deal on Nylander.
Big Dave

Do the habs really think signing please solves their centre ice issues?
Gavin Lee
7:09
Nope.
7:10
He's a good player with a lot of history there though.
Kotkaniemi was the center ice prize.
McNevan
7:10
Why would the Sens trade Hoffman if not to retain EK65?  They have to at least get to Doughty money to keep Erik.  They can’t lose both can they?
Gavin Lee
7:11
I think when they offered him $10MM over 8, despite clear reports that he was looking for Doughty's deal, was a clear indication that they had no intention of signing him.
Anything could happen, but it looks like Karlsson won't be a Senator when the season begins.
??????
7:11
Would it not make sense for a team near the playoffs with cap room to jump into the tbay Ottawa discussions to try and pry Johnson, killorn or Stralman for below cost? Thinking isles for both players but canes for johnson
Gavin Lee
7:12
It makes sense if they have the room for whichever, but if the Lightning can find a taker for Callahan instead--someone who wouldn't be a playoff team--it's obviously option #1
He has the biggest hit, and is giving them the lowest production.
nylander
7:12
Any chance we are seeing the Miami Marlins of the NHL in Ottawa. A team short of a rich owner who will trade anything of value that makes any decent amount of money to save dollars?
Gavin Lee
7:13
We're definitely seeing them shed salary, but that's not exactly new in Ottawa.

Also, the Marlins have won a pair of World Series..
Chris
7:14
Whose the unsigned RFA that's most likely to be traded,......
Gavin Lee
7:15
I mean, most likely out of a huge group is a tough call, but I'll say Ryan Murray.
He didn't file for arbitration today, but there hasn't been any talks between him and Columbus as of yet.
Dan
7:16
Given the Ducks unexciting FA signings, do you think that it opens the door for Steel, Larson, Welinski, Jones, etc?  Who do you think makes the roster?  Or do the Ducks have any more signings/trades in their back pockets?  Thanks!
Gavin Lee
7:16
I don't think Steel or Jones are ready yet, and the Sustr and Schenn deals will make it tough on Welinski.
7:18
Larsson could definitely make the club, though there's not really any rush on him either.
7:19
Fowler-Manson
Lindholm-Montour
Pettersson-Sustr
Schenn

is a perfectly fine group to go with.
Chris
7:19
How about going the Fifa route and turning the Olympics into a 23 and under tournament?
Gavin Lee
7:19
Let's just go back with the best-on-best.
Everyone loved it.
Jake
7:20
When Tommy Wingels was dealt to Boston at the deadline a lot of people said he would resign in Chicago in the offseason. Is that still a possibility or does Kunitz make that a no? Last year they brought in 2 similar players in Bouma and Wingels for the fourth line.
Gavin Lee
7:21
I'm not really sure Wingels helps that team at this point, though they probably do need another bottom-six player.
It wouldn't be out of character to bring him back, though I haven't heard anything about it recently.
Pete
7:22
I meant Faulk not Hanifan me bad. Carolina is loaded with de man could Nelson and a pick do it?
Gavin Lee
7:22
I think Faulk would be heading to a team closer to the playoffs/Cup if he's moved.
He would help the Islanders for sure, but giving up assets for him at this point doesn't really move the needle.
Bill
7:22
Is Marner an all-star playing with Tavares?
Gavin Lee
7:22
There's a good chance he's an all-star playing with Kadri.
7:23
If he does play with Tavares, watch out. That's a heck of a lot of talent in Toronto.
Chris
7:23
Who would the Leafs be more likely to move, Nylander or Marner?
Gavin Lee
7:23
Neither.
Gary
7:23
Will Carey Price return to form, or is he closer what he showed last year?
Gavin Lee
7:24
If he isn't playing through injury for half the season, he'll be better.
