Gavin Lee

He has NHL potential, but if he's ever an impact player I'll be surprised.
Rob

Outside of Green, who else can you see the Wings moving today?
Gavin Lee
10:36
Nyquist, Tatar, Ouellet, Jensen, Glendening
Mike Hoffman
10:37
Has my new found chemistry with Duchene lessened the likelihood I’m on the move today?
Gavin Lee
10:37
It's not like Hoffman needs that chemistry to be a really valuable player.
He's an excellent scoring winger, and is worth a lot.
But Ottawa is talking about trading Erik Karlsson.
No one is safe.

Does Jack Johnson have anything left in the tank?
Gavin Lee
10:38
He definitely does. His play has actually been better since the trade request became public
He's not what he once was, but the idea that he's finished is crazy.

What’s the over under on the jets making a move today ?
Gavin Lee
10:38
I'm not sure you can set an over under for making a move.
10:39
But, chances they make one? I'd say good.
Penguins not in on Kane. Interesting
10:40
Have to wonder where all the reports came from.
Yves Racine

Would the Blackhawks be better served to tear it all down (Keith, Kane, Saad, et al) , move guys like Hartman (periphery guys) or just hope for bounceback years from high priced guys like Toews, Saad, Crawford?  Seems like they are stuck in NHL purgatory with little cap room and a lot of underperforming contracts.
Gavin Lee
10:40
They're not going to be trading Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith.
But that purgatory is just where they might have to sit for a while.
10:41
They won their cups, and are paying for the back half of legendary playing careers.
Guest

Any word if the Pens are active in trying to pick up a defenseman?
Gavin Lee
10:41
Lots of chatter about them adding one..but it would take Hunwick going the other way probably.
Cody
10:41
Does jvr or Bozak or Leo go today
Gavin Lee
10:41
Doubt it.
Gil
10:42
Has there been any interest in other Sabres beyond Kane? Any chance there's a surprise (like O'Reilly, Reinhart)?
Gavin Lee
10:42
There was some chatter about both earlier, but I'd be very surprised if either went today.
In the summer, Reinhart might be a big target
Rob
10:42
I think the Jets could/would have the most to offer in a trade for Karlsson. Even though they DON"T make trades like this, Karlsson would REALLY solidify their team. A lot of GOOD young players that wouldn't affect there top 6 forwards. What are your thoughts?
Gavin Lee
10:42
That defense corps would be ridiculous.
10:43
They definitely have enough.
Don't think it happens.
Son of a Scotty
10:43
Considering all the NMCs hampering my flexibility, what are my best options for extending the 'Hawks championship window?
Gavin Lee
10:43
You mean reopening the window?
Sit tight, add cheap defensemen, hope for a lucky break.
Preds
10:44
Are you optimistic that tolvanen can make an impact as an 18 year old? Seems like the safe move for the Preds, but think theyd be better off adding another big scoring winger - not much room in that lineup for prospects to move into over the coming year or two anyways
Gavin Lee
10:44
I'm not sold at all that he'll make an impact.
But they are definitely going to try and add him to put him in the lineup, and need a spot for that.
Eric C
10:44
So what is the most likely name or names for the Predators outside of standing pat?  Someone like Nyquist?
Gavin Lee
10:45
I'd even add Zuccarello to that list. Wouldn't he be a nice fit in Nashville?
No idea if they make a big move like that though.
