Helloooooo and welcome to free agent day!
9:02
We got a little taste of everything last night, but don't think there isn't more fireworks to come this afternoon.
This is our special free agent frenzy chat. Ask away and let's have some fun.

panarin???
Gavin Lee
9:03
Sounds like Islanders and Rangers at this point, but I think he's going to the former.
Connor

Who do u see bruins signing today?? Thank u!
Gavin Lee
9:04
Don't think they'll be heavy into the top options but I think you can bet on a right winger coming in.
Michael
9:05
Any other cap clearing trades expected today?
Gavin Lee
9:05
The Leafs could still move Kadri, though that's not exactly a cap-clearing move entirely.
I would imagine Vegas is still trying to clear some more room.
Guest

I know you had a handful of lesser names to the Devils on your top 50, but do you think Shero makes a notable signing? I can see a LHD (Hutton, maybe), and a winger (not as clear).
Gavin Lee
9:06
I'm not sure Hutton is as notable as you may think, but yes they'll definitely be involved today.
9:07
Could see them go after a player like Ryan Dzingel as well if the price is right
Guest

do u think he takes less money to play for NYR? Everything I'm seeing makes it sound like Lou is offering more than JD's camp, but I think he would take a little less to be a ranger
Gavin Lee
9:08
I don't think anyone should presume to know what is happening in talks that include Lou Lamoriello and Jeff Gorton.
I think he's going to eventually end up taking less than the rumored $12.5M no matter where he signs.
Guest
9:08
Think the wings will do anything? Hoping for a few one year guys we can use as trade bait on deadline day
Gavin Lee
9:08
This definitely is a strategy they could use, though I don't think it's really one Yzerman has been known for in the past.
9:09
I don't think they'll be super busy.
Mike
9:09
Will teams use an offer sheet today?  If so...which and on who?
Gavin Lee
9:09
I don't think they will use one.
Cubbyrick
9:09
Blackhawks. One big splash or two or three depth moves?
Gavin Lee
9:09
They are getting at least one forward for sure, but I don't think it will be considered a big splash.
Blues fan
9:10
Do you see the Blues making any moves? Also where do you think Pat Maroon is going considering that he is not resigning.
Gavin Lee
9:10
I still can't believe that he's not going to stay put, but the Flames have been linked previously
Think there could be a fit in Columbus too, they love playing big hockey
9:11
Pittsburgh if he comes cheap enough
Lyle B
9:11
What do you think is on Montreals agenda?
Gavin Lee
9:11
This is the big offer sheet question.
They've been prepping for something and it is not clear.
I think it may just be about going after a couple free agent names, but there is tons of smoke out there about Bergevin having something big coming.
Me
9:12
Are the Leafs done or should we be expecting a few more trades?
Gavin Lee
9:12
Expect a few more. I imagine Sparks will be out, Kadri as I mentioned is still a possibility.
I'm not even convinced they aren't planning on flipping Ceci
Thor
9:12
What should we expect from the Rangers today?
Gavin Lee
9:13
I think if they miss on Panarin they'll be relatively quiet.
Me
9:13
Who's the third depth signing Vancouver going after?
Gavin Lee
9:14
Not clear at all yet, though we predicted Dion Phaneuf going there--not that it is for sure him, but it seemed clear they would add someone as a depth role like that.
Dark
9:14
I saw the top-50 list and didnt see any players headed to Philly. Really? They wont add anyone else big in free agency? I find that hard to believe after how hard they went after Kevin Hayes.
Gavin Lee
9:14
As it says at the top of that article, each prediction is independent. It's not that we think no one is signing with Philadelphia--it's that we landed on different predictions for each player when considered seperately.
