Hello and welcome to another chat!
Glad to be talking hockey again.
I'll let people filter in and some questions build up and get started in a few minutes
Mike
6:05
Sabres. Man what a mess. Blow it up and start again? Or can they every turn it around with this group
Gavin Lee
6:05
Man, what a mess indeed
6:06
The worst part is if Eichel and Hall just score a few more goals, none of this comes up today.
They've taken 73 shots on goal this season, and 3 have gone in
That won't continue, but this aura of losing is unshakable for the team at this point
6:07
Skinner--I don't know what to say. He needs a fresh start etc etc, but you can't just move a contract like that
They would need to sweeten it, which doesn't really make sense for them right now
All I'll say is, remember how well trading Ryan O'Reilly worked out for them.
I wouldn't move Eichel for the world right now

Will the capitals be looking to acquire goalie help? If so, what are the options
Gavin Lee
6:08
There will be a few names out there, but of all the years, this might be the toughest to get help
Teams need their depth at the position
6:09
I wonder about someone like Jonathan Bernier though, for a team that only wants to add some help
Not a true starter
Wally-O
6:09
david Quinn - part of the problem, or the solution, for NYR?  Would they be better off with Gallant?
Gavin Lee
6:09
I think most teams would be better off with Gerard Gallant
6:10
But I'm not willing to lay it all at Quinn's feet yet
A change after this season does seem more and more likely though
Stimpyi
6:10
Which forward are the leafs going to get?  And what will the cost be?
how much would it cost the leafs to get grandlund?
Gavin Lee
6:10
Granlund is the one everyone's talking about right now
6:11
His price would probably be a pair of picks, though if the Maple Leafs need them to eat half the deal it could be rather pricey
I still wonder about Rickard Rakell in Anaheim
There are others though, someone mentioned Bobby Ryan recently
6:12
Wouldn't it be wild if they are the ones who end up going after Nugent-Hopkins, if the Oilers end up needing to sell
Mike
6:14
Arizona getting bad press but the tea is playing well.  surprised?
Gavin Lee
6:14
It doesn't surprise me a ton I guess--seems like they have a good coach and players like Garland are difference makers.
6:15
I just don't know how long it can last, if the front office turmoil is all true
Especially that investigation, which is really perking up some ears around the league
It stinks, because I'd love to see a competitive team in Arizona again.
wildman
6:16
Could the wild be in on the Eichel sweepstakes
Gavin Lee
6:16
Let's not get ahead of ourselves
There are no sweepstakes
He's not being shopped
He hasn't demanded out
6:17
If he ends up available, which I would only believe could happen after another losing season, not mid-season, you can bet that Guerin would be interested.
Whether they really have the pieces to do it, I'm not sure
