Hello and welcome to another live chat!
I know this one might not be as busy, but I'll let some stuff roll in and get started in a few minutes.

Seth Jones likely trade destinations?
Gavin Lee
6:09
Who boy, that's a tough one.
Everyone in the league would love to get their hands on Jones if they could
But who is willing to pay the highest price for just 1 year?
6:10
The teams with the most assets aren't ready to really contend, so why would they give up a big package with no guarantee of an extension?
You have to wonder whether it will drag until Kekalainen can get Jones to agree to a deal with whoever it is
Sort of like playing out his free agency a year early
6:11
I must say I would absolutely love to see Jones go back to Texas and play with Heiskanen
6:12
But what if Seattle were to make a big push and sign him to a long-term extension as the team's first captain?
6:13
Lots of fun landing spots for Jones

Hey Gavin!  The ball didn't bounce in the Ducks favor yesterday, but I get the sense that the gap between pick 1 and 3 isn't all that great.  What direction do you think they go?  Do they take Power or Beniers if they fall?  If not, who's the guy, in your opinion?  Appreciate the insights!
Gavin Lee
6:13
I definitely don't think Power will be there at 3, I'd be very very surprised by that
6:14
Beniers is definitely a possibility if Seattle goes with someone like Hughes
6:15
Brandt Clarke is also a possibility for Seattle I think
6:16
I haven't done my final rankings yet, but I think the top three might all end up being defensemen this year
6:17
That's probably just my own bias--no one would raise their eyebrows if Beniers went top 3
Anthony
6:17
So boss who's gone from Toronto... marner or Nylander
Gavin Lee
6:17
Neither, yet
I don't think at least
Kevin
6:17
How was the draft lottery in your opinion? Seemed quite anti climatic
Gavin Lee
6:17
It's not really that exciting is it
6:18
Would have been a bigger deal if there was a McDavid/Matthews etc though.
Anthony
6:18
What does Columbus do with Laine now that his true colors are showing. Winnipeg really made him look good. I bet he regrets wanting out now
Gavin Lee
6:19
I certainly don't think he expected to go to a team with even worse center depth
I think if you are trading Jones, you trade Laine as well.
6:20
Tough though because he's an RFA

reasons for optimism in Hockeytown. Eichel? Slow rebuild for 5 more years?
Gavin Lee
6:20
Reason #1 for optimism: Moritz Seider
6:21
I know Detroit isn't used to this but it's coming, let him build
They've cleared the books, now they can build it up
Spaceman
6:22
Which goalie is last man standing in Vegas next season?
Gavin Lee
6:22
It's probably both again.
Last year on Fleury's deal
Spaceman
6:22
What does Florida do with their $10M goalie with Knight getting ready to start and Bob still ineffective in the playoffs?
Gavin Lee
6:22
Honestly? No idea
They probably just have to eat it for a while and have them tandem
6:23
You can't trade that contract without retaining a bunch of it
He has a full no-move
