I'd suspect they're closer to the bottom than the top.
I don't have them making the playoffs
But a bounce back from Kopitar could change that. Healthy Quick, step forward from Toffoli/Pearson
And who wants to bet against Drew Doughty?
6:33
They'll be battling, but I think end up on the outside looking in.
Jim

What does Vegas do with Brad Hunt.  He's been arguably their player this pre-season, but I just can't see a roster spot for him.
Gavin Lee
6:34
Granted I haven't watched every Vegas preseason game, but I can't see a scenario where he cracks the team, unless they go full sell on some of their defenders.
He'll have to hit waivers in the next few days, but I imagine you'll see him sneak through.
6:35
I think he's ticketed for a leadership role in Chicago, where he played last year remember.
Mike
6:36
And same question for the Nylander brothers
Gavin Lee
6:36
William is far and away the leader out of the two right now.
He always has been. Alex is a different player, and doesn't have the upside.
Mike
6:39
Sorry Gavin, first time I've ever participated in something like this, did not mean to break the chat up
Gavin Lee
6:39
Haha, don't worry Mike. I just meant no matter which i answer, Matthews or Eichel, one fan base is going to hate me.
Your questions are always appreciated.
6:40
Whoa, have Miller and McAvoy been playing together all preseason?
How have I missed that.
Kev

You see any trades any impact trade before the season starts? Thanks goodness hockey is right around the corner.
Gavin Lee
6:41
Amen.
I don't think there will be any impact trades no, but...
Let's gp O's
6:41
Which defensemen does Vegas trade in the next couple of days and to where?
Gavin Lee
6:42
I think they were hoping for more injuries to be honest.
Boston, Montreal, St. Louis, Vancouver, Colorado are all possible destinations.
6:43
But really the league has Vegas by the throat right now.
They know they'll have to push through a few on waivers, so why even trade?
They have 10 waiver-eligible defenders.
6:44
Plus Shea Theodore, who will be staying with the club.
So, three guys have to be put on waivers if they choose to keep 8.
Jim
6:45
If they haven't been able to move Sbisa, Stoner, or Reinhart by now, I don't think there's much of a market.
Gavin Lee
6:45
Exactly.
6:46
Don't get me wrong, they might move one. But I'd just let them wait it out.
No one is desperate.
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS
6:46
do we make the playoffs finally
Gavin Lee
6:46
I'm fully on the Jets bandwagon as a breakout this year.
But boy is a lot riding on their goaltending.
6:47
This powerhouse offensive lineup they're creating is one thing..but it might not matter if they're allowing a minimum of 3 every night.
Kev
6:47
In Det do you see AA holdout or go to KHL?
Gavin Lee
6:47
I think the KHL option was a bluff
I don't think he ever intended on taking it, or he would have by now.
Their season is well under way
