Duchene is such a treat to watch. Im happy with the upgrade over Turris
Ok, but if Turris wasn't going to re-sign here (debatable, he seemed to indicate he wanted to when he talked about how he felt management wanted him but ownership didn't) it still doesn't make him less valuable. We could have traded him to Nsh for that package, no?
Yes, Ottawa could have made that deal...but Colorado would not have traded Duchene for just Bowers and a first. So Ottawa ends up with Girard and Kamenev, and either Brassard as their #1 centre or probably has to add Chabot to the Bowers/1st round package to land Duchene.
I must have missed all of those games....
I cant find much fault in his effort. he goes out there and does his thing. not to mention playoffs are faaar out of reach. I don't fault some guys for mailing it in a bit early.( even though I don't think ryan is one of these guys.So you missed last nights game?
Where has Ryan been the last couple of games? You can say his hands hurt, but what about effort? Can you name me 1 single play from the last 2 games where Ryan did anything at all?

that actually makes sense and might have been smarter lol... turris for girard Kamenev 2nd. then flip Chabot OR girard ( now we have both in the same position) and bowers for Duchene. keeping our first... hindsight ofcourseYes, Ottawa could have made that deal...but Colorado would not have traded Duchene for just Bowers and a first.

at this stage yeah. His playoffs last year bought some goodwill from me (whatever that's worth)So you’re okay with the team highest paid player who’s sitting on back to back 9 goal season mailing it in?

In yesterday's Sun article Duchene made it pretty clear he's happy in Ottawa ("I feel like I can be myself here"...."built friendships with my teammates" etc.) and is open to signing an extension this summer.
He did record his 500th career point in Thursday's game vs the Oilers, I think.
As an Avalanche fan let me offer up a preliminary apology for how hard I will be rooting for the Senators to crater next year.
You're a good bunch of fans, deserve a better owner and if a team breaks the Canadian Stanley Cup drought I hope it's you guys.
However the Sens failure next year is the Avs success.
You really felt the need to come in here and post this like we should know who you are or care who you cheer for? Lol.As an Avalanche fan let me offer up a preliminary apology for how hard I will be rooting for the Senators to crater next year.

Very impressiveAfter a rough start, Duchene had 42 points in his last 44 games.
I really like Duchene... I hope the Sens can get as much for Karlsson (with Ryan) as Joe got for Duchene if they go that way.
Are you not sold on Hall either?Still not sold on Duchesne. How can such an elite player be consistently on horrid teams.
Until he shows me otherwise he’s the Oli Jokinen of the NHL now.
You can just hear how much he loves hockey in this interview. Really hope we build around him.
