Keep Sheary, trade others.

What's your take on the BUF/MN trade. Scandella going to BUF
Gavin Lee
9:38
I actually like Pominville going there too. He's declining, sure. But he would have been Buffalo's third best scorer last year.
They just paid Okposo $6MM a season. Why is no one upset over his production?
For Minny, it's all about that cap space.
Ennis could turn it around playing with his childhood buddy too.
Ducks
9:39
You see the ducks getting any scoring help? Or Eves it?
Gavin Lee
9:39
Eaves may be it, but I get the sense they're poking around some of the other names. Bonino, Williams, etc
Connor

Chicago getting the band back together. Any other Panarin/Saad type deals out of left field for other guys to return?
Not that you can predict things that come out of left field, but you know what I mean.
Gavin Lee
9:39
I don't think anyone in a million years could have predicted the Panarin/Saad deal.
9:40
Who else is there to bring back?
Versteeg's not coming. Bickell and Bolland are retired.
Sharp is already on his way.

Why is Sakic so hellbent on an NHL ready defenseman immediately? Seems like Colorado is still a few years away from truly competing.
Marty
9:41
The reported offer the islanders made for Duchene was pretty good no?  Sakic said no offer was close.  What do you think?
Gavin Lee
9:41
These go together.
It's not just an NHL ready guy, or they would have taken Hamonic.
It's the right young defender.
They want to start building a "culture" of sorts around a good young player.
Harold

Do the Eastern Conference Final runner ups do anything today?
Gavin Lee
9:42
That was a weird way of just writing Ottawa. Haha.
But, I think they go get a defender.
Maybe some more "grit" for the bottom six
9:43
Wingels isn't coming back, heading to Chicago instead.
Rob
9:43
Who do the Wild target to be their backup goalie?
Gavin Lee
9:43
Alex Stalock is already there.
They like him a bunch.
Connor
9:43
Am I the only one who thinks Justin Williams would look good as Boston's top 6 winger with Krejci and Backes? If they move out Spooner there's a few million to play with.
Gavin Lee
9:43
Definitely not the only one.
9:44
Carolina will fight tooth and nail though.
Mike
9:44
Vrbata heading to the yotes?
Gavin Lee
9:44
They haven't closed the door.
It will be interesting to see if he takes another incentive deal, or takes a two-year term.
Ducks
9:45
Would the ducks take a flyer on anyone that recently got bought out?
Gavin Lee
9:45
Cammalleri could fit nicely there.
On a short, cheap deal.
Halvybuckets
9:45
Buffalo has hired away a third member of the Pens staff, will we see a premium put on players that play both center and wing (capably) there?
Gavin Lee
9:45
That will be interesting to see.
9:46
Botterill is definitely bringing some Pittsburgh with him, but I get the feeling he has some new ideas for his franchise too.
