Hey folks! Welcome to another chat.
We're really in the dog days now.
I'll let some questions come in and start in a few minutes

Surprised to see Kyle Baun leave the AHL for the Belfast Giants?
Gavin Lee
6:10
Surprised because there was probably an AHL deal out there, but there are plenty of ties for Baun if you look close enough.
Adam Keefe is the head coach for Belfast, brother of Sheldon Keefe who had Baun with the Toronto Marlies.
Colgate teammate Darcy Murphy is already there too
6:11
If anyone would like to play against Baun this season, there are still EIHL jobs posted: http://jobs.eliteprospects.com/

Should I be happy with my roster heading into the season or do I need another piece?
Gavin Lee
6:12
Definitely happy, though another piece certainly wouldn't hurt.
Boston will be one of the best teams in the East if they do nothing, but could make some moves during the year to push them over the top

What do you think of Flyers’ prospect Jay O’Brien? Seems to be having a good run at the summer showcase
Gavin Lee
6:13
This showcase is the first real look I've had at him, and he's not what I was expecting.
6:14
Much more willing to engage physically--and I don't mean hitting, just using his body--and hunt down pucks.
Philadelphia keeps building an incredible prospect pool.
Adam
6:15
Who will win? USA or Sweden. It’s tied 4-4
Gavin Lee
6:15
I'll take Sweden, another one from Lundestrom
Taylor Hall
6:15
Am I ever gonna get more help in Jersey?
Gavin Lee
6:15
It's coming. They're building it slowly.
6:16
I know it feels like they're doing nothing, but filling up with free agents from this group wouldn't have helped that much.
There weren't very many opportunities for excess value
Addition by Subtraction
6:17
So with Brouwer gone,  who gets the roster spot opened up.   Foo looked good late in the season.
Gavin Lee
6:17
Hathaway might get the first crack at the fourth line spot
6:18
But Foo certainly could nab it
If he doesn't though, can't sit him as a 13/14 forward. Alan Quine might as well do that.

Brady Tkachuk starts the season with...
Gavin Lee

Boston University
6:19
I don't think he's ready.
Dan

Any new countries you’d like to see the Global Series visit over the next few years?
Gavin Lee
6:20
Italy and the UK would be good stops.
6:21
To me I just love that they're doing it again.

the fact that a lot of people are going to arb worries me. When I think arb, I think "The player and team can't agree" which makes me think there will b a lockout again in a few years. Have you thought of that yet or no? Regardless, what do you make of that idea?
Gavin Lee
6:21
I don't think arbitration necessarily means that a lockout is coming, but the way contracts are being signed certainly does.
I mean the structure of them
6:22
If the reports are to be believed, the league told teams to stop giving out big signing bonus deals. Then the biggest free agent of (possibly) all time signed one that's almost 100% signing bonus
I really think a work stoppage is coming.
Which makes me want to cry.
Back to back
6:23
Are the pens done or do you see gmjr doing another move before camp?
Gavin Lee
6:23
Rutherford can pounce on an opportunity at any moment, but it feels like they're going to see if the added rest--not going to the Finals, no world cup/olympics--helps.
Adam
6:24
what kind of return will Montreal get for max pacioretty?
