None of them have grabbed the opportunity in pre season personally I think chytil will end up a winger
Gavin Lee
6:42
Not a bad prediction, though there is a lot of wing talent on that team.
I think he'll probably start on the boards this year.
Kevin
6:49
When you refer to caps moves, who is most likely to get moved out (any value in copley as backup somewhere?)
Gavin Lee
6:49
I've said for a while that the only two I really see making any sense would be Gudas or Eller, but neither look like they're on the way out.
6:50
They're going to waive Stephenson, I imagine.
Maybe something else comes up
Elwood
6:50
How worried should I be as an Av's fan that this heads to O'reilly 2.0 territory?
Gavin Lee
6:50
I wouldn't be surprised if it lasts a few days into the season, but I don't think Avalanche fans have a ton to worry about.
I don't think there is a lot of bad blood there, just disagreement.
Mike
6:51
Besides Hughes kakko or makar, who can win ROTY?
Gavin Lee
6:51
My dark horse candidate is Victor Olofsson, BUF. How's that for off the board.

You think st louis signs alex pietrangelo and schenn
Gavin Lee
6:52
Honestly I don't know now. I thought for sure that Pietrangelo would re-sign, but after the Faulk deal I am not sure how it works.
6:53
Will the Blues really commit ~$22MM a year to their right side?
Schenn seems like an expendable asset too, to be honest.
But he's been a good fit there, so maybe they work something out.
Just remember that Armstrong is known to move on from good players that are expiring if he can't get something done.
6:54
Which is actually how most GMs should be operating.
Mikedickinson
6:54
Thankfully Faulk is gone. St Louis can have him and that contract.
julian Gauthier is out there looking like Erik Cole. Think he sticks? We need his size badly.
Gavin Lee
6:54
Honestly even in the minor leagues I didn't see enough to really make me that excited about Gauthier, but he's going to be an NHL player.
6:55
Erik Cole might be a pretty good comparison, to be honest.
Dzingel's health might factor into who is on the roster to start the year.
Mike
6:55
Think both dach and turcotte will have great futures. Who has the higher upside?
Gavin Lee
6:56
I had Turcotte ranked higher on my board, but they're both great players.
Impossible to really tell right now.
Mike
6:56
What is the matter with drouin? Maybe
Gavin Lee
6:56
He's a perimeter offensive player that is going to score 50-65 points annually.
6:57
That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I hated the trade then and I still hate it now.
Joe a
6:57
What cap will schenn and piertangello sign for
Gavin Lee
6:58
You would have to think that Pietrangelo will try to be the third defender in the $10+ range.
Schenn will probably push for a deal like Duchene's
Mike
6:59
hearing raanta might be hurt again. Kuemper the real deal?
Gavin Lee
7:00
Raanta's thing sounds minor, but we've heard that before I guess.
Kuemper is a good goaltender for sure, but you'd love to see what they can do as a healthy tandem.
Chris
7:00
Which team wins the cup first Rangers or Devil's?
Gavin Lee
7:00
I'll say Rangers, but both are doing well in their rebuilds!
Okay folks, I know that was a short one.
7:01
But let's get some hockey going! Next week's chat we'll have real games to talk about
