Hello and welcome to another chat!
6:01
This will be the last regularly scheduled one before the deadline, but we'll have another special edition on Monday morning!

Hey, Gavin.  Please tell us that yesterday intra-division deal between the Devs and Isles will not be the biggest trade of the season.
Gavin Lee
6:07
I don't think it will be, though if it is, it's not that small!
A first rounder moved and two good forwards
6:08
I think there are a couple more flashier deals coming though
Tom Emanski

Thoughts on the trade between the Hawks and Hawks South?
Gavin Lee
6:08
Nice for both teams I think. Panthers clear some bad money and can make another move, and the Hawks get a nice little lottery ticket in Borgstrom
He could be a core piece for them, though I'm not entirely sure of that anymore.
They also need to get him signed

Do you see the Rangers moving Georgiev, perhaps to Colorado?  Who will be the biggest named netminder to change teams by Monday afternoon?  Thanks.
Gavin Lee
6:09
It does sound like Georgiev is getting some action and they'll have to move him at some point.
6:10
Not sure if it will be Colorado, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him move at some point
Biggest named? Bernier?
Don't think there will be a ton of big goalie moves

CBJ have scratched david savard for tonight. Would seem to indicate he is going somewhere by the deadline. Best where?
Gavin Lee
6:11
The fit in Tampa is too good to ignore.
He could be a perfect complement for that group and play a big role in the playoffs
They'll have competition from Florida though, who could also use that piece with Ekblad out and notably have Zito--former CBJ AGM--running the show.
Jon Casey

There hasn't be a lot of buzz out of Minny...What move(s) do you see us making?  Is Getzlaf a realistic target if he is willing to move for a couple of months (and Anaheim retains $)?
Gavin Lee
6:12
I don't think Getzlaf will end up going anywhere.
I think Minnesota is going to be a darkhorse candidate for Taylor Hall, to be honest.
Though that will probably go down to the wire with many teams
Beezer

Who is the main D target now that Nashville appears to be back in the playoff race, and presumably will not deal from their stable?
Gavin Lee
6:13
Savard is the top D on the market, which is why Columbus needed to keep him out tonight.
Beezer
6:13
I mean for the Panthers
Gavin Lee
6:13
Same answer, but Zito will obviously know exactly what Savard brings and whether he's the answer
6:14
One other name I wonder about is Jamie Oleksiak in Dallas. He has experience on both sides and can play at a high level for stretches
Chip
6:15
Does DeAngelo have anything resembling trade value or has two months of inactivity made him impossible to trade?
Gavin Lee
6:15
I have a hard time believing anything will get done with that before the offseason
I think his season is over
Black Ace57
6:15
Considering the flat cap the next few years and the fact that already in year 1 of you are seeing strange stuff like how the waiver system is being used, do you think the league will consider this off-season a mechanism like a 1 player amnesty to help teams going forward?
Gavin Lee
6:16
I don't think so, no. They would have negotiated that in the CBA talks.
Luke
6:16
Whos going to make the playoffs
Gavin Lee
6:16
16 NHL teams

TSN has Jonathan Bernier at #5 on their trade bait list.  But trade deadline deals for goalies seem to be rare.  do you think he gets moved?
Gavin Lee
6:17
Yeah, I mentioned him above. He is certainly a good target for a team looking at a tandem situation.
I don't think you want to hitch your wagons to him alone, but remember when Colorado suddenly had Michael Hutchinson starting elimination games for them?

And Lightning just happen to be in CBus tonight. What do you hear on Nick Foligno?
Gavin Lee
6:18
Elliotte Friedman seems to think that the Maple Leafs are eyeing Foligno pretty closely
