Depends on if he signs an extension, but they'll probably get one really good asset plus another lottery ticket type.
Like a good prospect and mid-round pick, or a top pick and middling prospect
Don't think there's a lot more than that, even with the extension.

With Q.Hughes returning to Michigan should Vancouver be looking for a power play specialist on D to compliment the young guns up front?
Gavin Lee
6:25
I saw a funny image today of someone who had put together all the times Jim Benning said that he was looking for a PP quarterback.
He's been looking since he got the job. It's really hard.
6:26
I don't think they need to be adding anything for this year really. Just wait on the young guys to develop, keep adding futures.
Jackets
6:26
What else would the Canadiens have to include in a Pacioretty for Panarin trade?
Gavin Lee
6:27
I mean I'm not sure why this deal would happen. With an extension for both you mean?
If that's the case, a whole bunch.
Panarin is a huge upgrade over Pacioretty in terms of creating offense.
Jacob

I think the Pittsburgh Penguins are done
Gavin Lee
6:28
I would disagree.

What is Carolina gonna do with all those defensive guys?
Gavin Lee
6:29
I still expect a Justin Fault trade at some point, but I'm not really sure.
They have so much money tied up on defense now.
6:30
Was not expecting de Haan to sign there.
US wins, Quinn Hughes is a magician
JAY T

What do you think Will Bill Karlsson gets at his arb hearing?
Gavin Lee
6:31
One-year, $5MM
McKenny
6:31
T.Heed is a spare part in SJ who is UFA after this season. Not a huge track record but price would probably be reasonable.
Gavin Lee
6:32
Sure, if you think that helps then he's a fine target. Wouldn't cost a ton for Vancouver. Just not sure what it would really accomplish.
EJ
6:32
Wouldn't a Justin Faulk for RNH swap make sense for both teams?
Gavin Lee
6:32
A few months ago I would have said yes, but I think Edmonton wants to keep Nugent-Hopkins next to McDavid now that it worked so well.
6:33
Edmonton is a tough one though because of how much their four guys already earn.
They need Klefbom to get back to where he was in 2016-17
Sam

Who loses out of Matthews, Marner and Nylander in Toronto’s contract negotiations?
Gavin Lee
6:34
I'm not sure what "loses" means in this context.
Who earns the lowest salary? Nylander would be the best bet. But it depends on term
McKenny
6:35
E.Bouchard. 9 game trial or does he stick with the Oilers.
Gavin Lee
6:35
I wouldn't be surprised if he lasts more than 9 games but fewer than 40, to be honest.
6:36
But I'd send him back 100%
Sam
6:36
Who doesn’t get the contract they want. Because they won’t sign all three to what they want/deserve surely.
Gavin Lee
6:37
I'm still not really sure what you mean. All three will negotiate to get the best they can, it's not like two will sign and the third will say "Oh darn, I waited too long now I'll take $2MM"
6:38
Probably none of the three will get what they WANT..but all three will get big contracts.
Skinner is a Sabre
Holy cow
There had been some rumblings but I didn't know that is what it would be.
Chris
6:40
Might the Sabres be rolling the dice on big improvement this year with the possibility of flipping him at the deadline if not?
Gavin Lee
6:40
Yeah and they didn't have to wager very much.
