Hello and welcome to another chat!
Hope you're all fired up for the upcoming trade deadline. The MLB and NBA are showing us how to do it!
I'll let some stuff roll in and get started in about ten minutes.

Who do you see as the Knights main trade target?
Gavin Lee

All the talk recently has been about Alec Martinez, but I'm not sure if he's really the answer.
6:34
I still think they need someone who can carry the puck more than that and exit the zone cleaner, to take some pressure off of Schmidt and Theodore.
Still, there aren't a ton of really great fits around.
So if it comes down to it, Martinez might be the one.

Kovalchuk for Jesse Puljujaarvi, who says no.
Gavin Lee
6:34
The Oilers, for sure. They could get him for a mid-round pick probably.

I feel Athansiou wont get delt because his value is so low. Do you agree?
Gavin Lee
6:35
It definitely seems like more of a offseason move to me. Any acquiring team, how do you know he'll be an upgrade over whatever you already have?
You're not going to pay a premium for that, and Yzerman isn't just going to give him away.

Hey Gavin, the move for Clifford and Campbell helps solve some of my goalie and grit issue but what do I do on D? I think with Reilly and Ceci now out it may be time to pull the trigger there too no?
Gavin Lee
6:35
It sounds like they're waiting for the word on Rielly's injury to make that decision.
6:36
If he's coming back, they don't have a lot of room and would need to clear some in order to add any defensemen.
If he's going to be out until the playoffs--which seems possible--they'll use his entire LTIR cap hit to add.
Dubas said today that they will have that decision at the end of next week.

Do you see the Leafs adding Josh Manson? Maybe dumping Ceci and another asset the other way can make him it? Or do you see him traded anywhere else?
Gavin Lee
6:36
In terms of what they could add--sure, Manson is a perfect target for them.
6:37
But I'm still not entirely sold that the Ducks want to move Manson.
He's a big part of that team
John
6:37
Capitals make any moves?
Gavin Lee
6:37
They are so tight to the cap that it would have to be a minor one.
6:38
They can move equal money in and out, maybe something like the Kempny add
But I don't think it'll be a ton. I don't think they're trading Holtby.

Is Kyle Palmeiri staying in NJ or are the Devils shopping him around?  Where could you see him going and what kinda return could NJ expect?
Gavin Lee
6:39
Like Manson in Anaheim, Palmieri is a big part of the culture in New Jersey and not a player they would love to shop freely.
6:40
That said, there have been several inquiries into him and the team could get a fair bit of value if they decide to move him.
6:41
With another year at a reasonable price, you would have to think he could bring them back either a good young player--think the Charlie Coyle deal from a year ago--or several draft picks.
John
6:41
Even the slightest chance the caps trade holtby?
Gavin Lee
6:41
I don't think so.
Ducks

Why all the buzz to trade Kase? Young forward who drives play. Seems like you want to keep him if he can still healthy.
Gavin Lee
6:41
There has been this weird availability on Kase for more than a year now
6:42
They might be tired of his health issues? I'm really not sure, but he's been available for a while for the right price.

What's going on with NYR three headed goalie monster? Hank waving his NTC? Still enough interest to move Georgiev? Or wait until draft?
Gavin Lee
6:43
I think they wait until the draft or summer. There's no rush.
But I imagine it'll be Georgiev the one moved.
KappoKakko
6:43
Is there any serious thought about the Rangers making a trade for Kapanen from Tor? Is there a deal there that would make sense for the teams to make? Asking for a friend.
Gavin Lee
6:43
I think most of that chatter was because of Georgiev. That's not going to happen now.
