According to Portzline, Sakic is asking for Gabriel Carlsson instead of Ryan Murray


Gabe Carlsson + Boone Jenner + prospect like Calvin Thurkauf for Matt Duchene?

That is not what Portzline tweeted (in reference to asking for Carlsson instead of Murray).

Is a deal with the Pens a total pipe-dream? Seems like Avs fans (and most other teams) hate Maatta and he'd likely be the centerpiece.

Duchene would be literally perfect on the Pens.

-kills penalties
-great on the dot
-great on the PP
-one of if not the fastest skater in the NHL
-can move up and down the lineup if(when) injuries happen.

Because the Pens need a 3/4C. :sarcasm:

Oh that's not what he said. Carlsson was requested, but it's possible that he was requested IN ADDITION to Murray.

The pieces that the Pens could move would be Maatta, Sheary, Jarry, Gustavsson, 1st, or another prospect. No more than three and maybe only two depending on which ones.

Problem here is Sakic seems to value Duchene as a first line center... Not many teams outside of probably Columbus or Carolina needs that. Duchene on most teams is a number 2 and on others is a number 3 (his aav is pretty high for a 3 tho) so heres the problem... Sakic wants teams to pay for a number 1 center but... Duchene is probably valued as a number 2. Something gonna have to give here soon. You cant start the season with this distraction.

Maatta, Sprong, 1st? As a pens fan, I don't want to get Duchene due to steep price, but what would the pens have to give up. No Guentzel fyi

More likely? The media creating a mountain out of a mole hill.

Someone called at the deadline asking if Duchene was available, Sakic responded with an insane ask and it spiraled from there.

The Duchene trade rumors have literally been ongoing for like 2 years now dude. What rock have you been living under?

Hes a UFA in 2 years... Hes not going to sign. Hes not getting that so i guess you lose him for nothing in 2 years.

Blows my mind how some people state their opinions as absolute facts.

Here let me try.

All these trade proposals are a waste of time because Duchene is going to bounce back this year with the avs and sign a new 8 year contract with them next summer. It is known.
