Gavin Lee

Hey folks welcome to another live chat!
The dog days of summer are upon us.
6:02
I'll let a couple of questions come in and then get started.

What do you think the Blackhawks will do with their cap space?
Gavin Lee
6:06
They've checked in on several players including Faulk, Skinner and Pacioretty, but I'm not so sure they'll use the space this summer.
Remember that teams need to hold on to a certain amount for in-season moves.
The more you save, the bigger names you can go after at the deadline

Any possible hidden gems still available in free agency,
Gavin Lee
6:07
Hamhuis was my hidden gem, and I can't believe how little he settled for to go back to Nashville.
There are a dozen teams in the league who he could've helped more than them
6:08
For what's left, there isn't a lot. I think Sbisa, Enstrom and Emelin could be fine depth additions, but none of them are going to really make a huge impact.
It's pretty much picked clean though.
(Other than Rick Nash)

Jordan Staal. #1 Center with PP role or #3 Center with PK role in Carolina? Or somewhere in between depending on how their kids do?
Gavin Lee
6:09
Probably somewhere in between
But I am high on Martin Necas and could see him really taking that top role in the next couple of seasons.
Sharks
6:09
Is skinner or patches a possibility still? Don’t we need another top 6?
Gavin Lee
6:10
They're definitely still on the market
Teams are just waiting to see where everything lands after arbitration, but there will have to be some decisions made pretty soon.
I'd imagine the Sharks are still interested.
SJ
6:10
Will Seguin stay in Dallas long term?
Gavin Lee
6:10
I do think it's probably more likely that he sticks around, but there's certainly a chance he leaves like Tavares.
6:11
Remember this isn't the team that drafted him, though from all accounts he absolutely loves playing in Dallas

Does simmonds get signed or traded? Does next trade for someone like penarin
Gavin Lee
6:11
I don't think Philadelphia trades for Panarin, no.
6:12
But for Simmonds, I thought an extension would be done by now. Not sure what the hold up is.
SJ
6:12
Will the sharks make the playoffs?
Gavin Lee
6:12
I very much doubt it.
McKenny
6:12
Does Josh Leivo finally get a legit shot in Toronto this year?
Gavin Lee
6:12
Doubt that too.
Ennis was brought in and I think will play more than him,.
And one of their young wingers will have to be on the fourth line.
6:13
Leivo in for another long year it seems.
Auston
6:13
Do you think Czarnik could breakout?
Gavin Lee
6:13
Breakout to being a reliable NHL player, sure.
Breakout and be the point-per-game guy he was in the minors? No.
6:14
Don't think he's becoming a star anytime soon.

Would Skinner for Saad be a fair trade for both teams,or would Carolina have to add something because of the expiring contract of Skinner?
Gavin Lee
6:14
I think they'd have to add a bunch.
I think Saad is probably a better all-around player than Skinner already
