Hello and welcome everyone!
It's time for another chat.
No, I do not know where Deshaun Watson will play next year, even if you ask.
6:01
I'll let some stuff roll in and then get started in a few minutes!

Hey Gavin! I’m reading that the ducks are looking for offensive help (no surprise there). How do they do this without mortgaging their future? What “hockey deals” could be out there for them? Any ideas? Thanks for these chats!
Gavin Lee
6:13
I was kind of shocked by that report myself, since it certainly doesn't seem like a season the Ducks should be buyers
6:14
I think more than anything they would be trying to do something like they did last season, grabbing Danton Heinen and Sonny Milano, two players who had big offensive ceilings but hadn't really hit them
6:15
As for some examples..
Look more at teams that have their eyes set on the playoffs but might need some veterans down the stretch
6:16
I really doubt they would mortgage any of the future right now. It doesn't make much sense
The only caveat to that, would be if the front office believes changes are coming if they don't make the playoffs

Have you heard what Anaheim's and Montreal's final offers were for Dubios?
Gavin Lee
6:17
I don't think they even got to the point of final offers really, but I could be wrong.
Columbus wasn't doing it without Suzuki or Zegras
And those were off the table once the season started
Really as far back as the summer

Is Leo Karamanov gonna be suspended for his hit on Lars Eller?
Gavin Lee
6:18
He will not. The Department of Player Safety was not holding any hearings today.

do you expect the Wings to be making any trades in the near future   enjoy your evening   thebaileyman
Gavin Lee

Think it will wait a bit, but they will make trades at some point, yes.
I believe there is an agreement with Bobby Ryan to send him to a playoff team if he wants to
(And if someone wants him)
Others like Filppula, Helm, Glendening could all get flipped

I think they'll clear house at some point. Though the unique season makes it not as lucrative
Chris

Any guess on the Rutherford resignation, interesting that reports of potential conflict on trade(s) got shot down by other press?
Gavin Lee
6:20
I'm not sure, and I don't really want to speculate.
It wasn't that he wanted to fire Sullivan, I know that's been speculated on.
6:21
One thing that caught my eye is that he told Yohe and Rossi that he wanted to go out on a positive note.
That's..that's a bit weird to me.
6:22
Normally I would think that means that he didn't want to rebuild..but then Morehouse came out and said they're still in win-now mode for the next GM
6:23
So, I'm not really sure what to think.

What will Vince Dunn bring the Blues in a return? He is gifted offensively. Are the Blues moving him because of his defense?
Gavin Lee
6:23
I don't see any team giving them a first-rounder for him
I think Dunn's game has clashed with what Berube wants from his guys, and the negotiation before the season probably only made it worse.
6:24
Those costly turnovers can really sour a coaching staff.
That said, Dunn is a good player an NHL player that should be playing somewhere.
6:25
I imagine he'll bring a mid-tier prospect or a package of picks...like a 3/4 or a 2.
I just can't see anyone dying to pay up for him right now
Bill
6:25
Also what teams do you think are interested?
