Gavin Lee
6:00
Welcome back to another live chat!
Who else saw Laine scoring a hat trick in Finland coming?
6:01
Oh..everyone? Okay.
I'll let some stuff roll in and then get started!
Jon
6:08
Is Chabot in the Norris discussion?
Gavin Lee
6:09
Not yet he's not, but if he keeps going they'll have to think about it.
He's been fantastic
But the Norris is one of the hardest trophies for a newcomer to break through and nab.
Cody

Pesce ferland amd a first for willie who says no
Gavin Lee
6:09
I would imagine Toronto does.
Adam
6:10
How long until Halak is starter for Boston?
Gavin Lee
6:10
I think it's already more of a tandem than they expected.
Don't think Rask is ever really going to be relegated to a backup
Jon
6:10
Do the Sens need to address their goaltending? Having 37 year old Anderson and 35 year old McKenna must be a record for combined age
Gavin Lee
6:11
Sure, but they're not focused on this season even though it has started better than expected.
Gustavsson is the future there, though he's certainly not a guarantee
There are lots of goaltenders coming onto the market the next couple of offseasons.
They can find one.
ATX King
6:11
When will the fire sale start in LA?
Gavin Lee
6:12
I don't think that will be quite the fire sale that some expect
But if they don't get a quick turnaround by the beginning of December, some pieces might be moved.
Ringo
6:13
Is Tampa going to waive Danick Martel and will the Flyers pick him back up?
Gavin Lee
6:13
No pressing need to waive anyone right now
6:14
And if you were Martel, wouldn't you be happy sitting with the organization that's proven capable of turning overlooked Q scorers into NHL players?
ATX King
6:14
Can Kings dump some older, large contract guys to teams looking for leadership and actually do a quick rebuild/reload at the same time?
Gavin Lee
6:15
Those kind of dumps would happen at the deadline, but the players that you're talking about all have term still.
It's hard to trade away an aging player that still has several years left.
Could they trade some guys like Muzzin or Martinez? Probably, but is that really the problem?
6:16
In terms of a quick reload/rebuild? It's definitely possible.
They have some really nice pieces coming, and Doughty/Kopitar is still an elite duo
Mike
6:17
What’s wrong with Erik Karlsson?
Gavin Lee
6:17
He's a notoriously slow starter, who moved across the continent and into a completely different system.
He'll be fine, I believe.
Joe
6:17
What cap will sebastian who be at
Gavin Lee
6:18
It very much depends on what happens with this Nylander saga, I believe.
If Nylander can squeeze some extra cap out of the Maple Leafs, Aho's camp knows it deserves the same, if not more.
If they want to get it done quickly, then somewhere around Pastrnak's $6.66MM
Sam
6:19
With no regards to contracts, who are your top 5 to start a franchise with tomorrow?
Gavin Lee
6:19
That's a great question.
6:21
Let's go:

McDavid
McAvoy
MacKinnon
Werenski
Provorov
