PHR Chat With Gavin Lee: 10/05/17

Hey folks! Time for another chat.
THE SEASON HAS STARTED!
And what a way to open. McDavid and Matthews are pretty good huh?
6:03
Who are you all most excited to see tonight?
Cody
6:04
Do you think the leafs should claim pickard
Gavin Lee
6:04
I think about 15 teams in the league should claim Pickard.
Just last week on this chat I spoke about him being a breakout candidate.
I know he had a bad preseason, but I can't for the life of me figure out why the Golden Knights would do this.
(They might get away with it though.)

Do you see the leafs doing any trades to upgrade the defense and if so what trade might they make
Gavin Lee
6:07
I'm not totally sure they will go after anyone during the year unless injuries hit. Borgman impressed last night, Rosen looks like a depth guy and Gardiner looks like a legit top pairing option. That might just be enough.
It's one game, sure. But that group really might be good enough to take down the Atlantic.
6:08
The kinds of upgrades that might be out there, from Vegas for instance, aren't obvious upgrades.
Joel

What d man might the golden knights trade by tomorrow's game
Gavin Lee
6:09
Technically they don't really have to.
Waiving Pickard means they can bring back Shipachyov and go with 12 forwards-9 defensemen-2 goalies
6:10
But that would mean leaving Theodore and Tuch down.
If they want Neal to dress that would be another story.
6:11
That's all to say I have no idea.
They've waited so long it seems like there is no plan.
Kev
6:11
You see the Ducks picking anyone up on waivers sent they have more players on IR then on roster?
Gavin Lee
6:11
Doubt they'll pick up Marincin or Pickard, who are the only two on waivers today.
6:12
They're giving Fiore the chance of a lifetime.
Tom

Is Hudler going bananas?
Gavin Lee
6:12
I would say yes, but we try to stay out of the personal stuff on here.
Odd story to be sure though.
Darnell
6:12
Who needs to win Dahlin the most?
Gavin Lee
6:13
As we get closer to the draft, people will start to realize that though Dahlin is incredible, so are the other top 5 guys.
This draft is insane at the top.
6:14
I think Vancouver would absolutely love to get him.
Detroit would be a great fit.
Although, it would be fun if they got Svechnikov #2.
Nim

What do the ‘Nucks have for trade chips this season, and what can they get for them?
Gavin Lee
6:15
Sam Gagner, Thomas Vanek, Michael Del Zotto for starters.
They're all trade candidates, even though they probably overpaid for Gagner and MDZ
6:16
Brandon Sutter, Chris Tanev, Alex Edler, Erik Gudbranson are all pieces that won't be around when Vancouver is good again.
6:17
As for the second part, it's not like they'll own the trade market. None of their guys will be the absolute top options, but they could get real value.
It's obvious they're willing to go after lottery tickets for this rebuild.
6:18
I wonder about guys like Kapanen, Dal Colle and others that haven't quite made it yet.
Micaiah
6:19
Do you think Mike Milbury will call Little Caesar’s Arena a dump as well?
