Hello and welcome to another chat!
It's the offseason!

Hi Gavin!

How Vasy didn’t win the Vezina seems a little ridiculous right now, but semantics aside how many do you think he ends up with by the end of his career?
Gavin Lee
6:04
Let's remember that it's a regular season award
And there is always a little bit of "lifetime achievement" in the NHL awards
6:05
In terms of how many he wins?
Probably another 1 at least, but there's certainly no guarantee past that
He's the best in the world right now, but goaltending can come and go very quickly

Will the Red Wings use their cap space to acquire more draft picks by taking on a contract or two?
Gavin Lee
6:07
Only if it is a short-term contract
The Red Wings don't want to add long-term bad money, even if it gets them a nice asset now

What do the NYR do now?
Gavin Lee
6:08
They will bring in some more grit up front, add a bit of length on the back end, and let the kids develop.
Or that's my guess, at least
6:09
The Eichel stuff is possible, but until Buffalo gives a team clear access to all the medical side, you can't expect a deal to get done

Will Seattle try to emulate Vegas or take the long road?
Gavin Lee
6:09
I imagine it will be longer for them
6:10
Vegas didn't try to compete right away
Remember they loaded up on first rounders and young players too
But then they just were so many overachievers that things changed
The timeline was accelerated
6:11
I mean if Seattle stumbles into a first line center that previously hadn't even scored double digits (William Karlsson) maybe they will compete early too
Remember the Blue Jackets traded with Vegas to make sure they took Karlsson
And then he scored 43 goals
6:12
You can't try to emulate that

How on target am I that the Bruins resign Hall after the expansion draft?  Would a little extra convince Taylor to ait until than?
Gavin Lee
6:12
It'll convince him until someone else adds a little bit more
6:13
I'd be worried about the market for Hall if I was Boston, even though he wants to stay and by all accounts they are on the same page
Darren Ferris, his agent, isn't stupid and will have an idea what's out there

Hi Gavin, what could the Bruins do instead of signing Hall, Krejci and Rask? Who makes sense for them?
Gavin Lee
6:13
Both those guys are Boston-or-bust it sounds
6:14
But they won't have to make a decision on Rask until partway through the season
His injury means he won't be ready at the start of the year anyway
Krejci and Hall are two different problems, so they aren't necessarily linked
Without Krejci, there is a gaping hole in the middle of the ice
6:15
I know they have Charlie Coyle and younger guys, but that's just creating a weakness somewhere else
I think Hall and Krejci both end up back in Boston, but they better be careful how long they go with Hall.
