Speculation: Matt Duchene Thread Part... Just get a trade done already

[lilfedor]

Hanifin is off the table for Duchene, per Ron Francis directly. It is a term issue.

Canes can offer one of:
1) Victor Rask + 2nd
2) Top Prospect (Jake Bean or Martin Necas) + 2018 1st + B-level Piece

I just don't see how CBJ doesn't pull this off. They have SO much to offer. It's just essentially a point of what they're NOT willing to give up.

But then again, that's why I thought this would have been done in the offseason.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

If Avs wanted Murray a trade would've happened already. They want Carlsson + Prospect + 1st, Hanifin + 1st, or Chabot +

lmao

Joe needs to find a new job

It's been written online that the Hurricanes are deep in discussions to get Tavares, so we don't need Duchene.



Rick Nash was worse.

Yeah, no chance Car lands him in a trade. Islanders are not trading their franchise center to a division rival on the upswing.

I agree. CBJ has the assets to move for a Duchene trade & are the perfect fit.

Where have you read this?

Also, how about:

Vince Dunn + Jordan Kyrou + something small for Duchene

 

[GoldiFox]

If it's a term issue, why shouldn't the Avs wait until Duchene can be extended and see if Francis is willing to do Hanifin then? What's the point in taking a lesser return before exploring that option?

Canes fans have been saying that for a while. It's the only way that Colorado sniffs a guy like Hanifin.

No harm in waiting. The Canes are supposedly in discussion with NYI for Tavares. They would be giving up Hanifin++ in that deal for a much, much better player. I think most Canes fans are more excited for that route and don't care much about Duchene anymore.

Care to elaborate further? This made my pupils dilate when I read it because this is news that should be reported.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

It’s a Forum 26 inside joke.

 

[Avs44]

There's a full thread on the Canes board to discuss the exciting news.

 

[Shaffer]

Pens are out of running. It's been fun pens fans.

They probably called the Isles about him, like the 29 other teams doing due dilligence. The Islanders are gonna trade their franchise center to a division rival on the upswing?


Edit: I've been trolled

 

[Liferleafer]

I've gotta ask, what's the record for main forum trade threads for one player? We've gotta be getting close at this point, no?

Luongo....that guy went through at least 12 Bond themed threads....and then a bunch of Beatles song title threads....

 

[didimentionlarseller]

i look forward when my children are old enough that i can introduce them to the ongoing Duchene threads that will still be ongoing

Lol, Sakic is going to re-sign him to an 8 year deal, then immediately put him on the trade block....but never get offered quite enough....

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

I think this is finally the weekend he gets traded!!!

I dunno if we have yet...but we will by time Matt is traded on the eve of the 2018 draft...

My prediction is that he's dealt for a package of Ryan Murray, young forward and a high pick.

No idea how long it will take Sakic to realize that it's a good offer though.

Whether it's a good offer or not depends a lot on whether that young forward is someone like Bjorkstrand or someone like Milano

2) Top Prospect (Jake Bean or Martin Necas) + 2018 1st + B-level Piece

I think I'd take Necas, 1st and b piece. But I think Necas is just as gifted as Aho and what I consider a B-prospect is probably an A-prospect for you guys.

 

[mikeyp24]

We were. Before he turned out to be a real Jackoff. Whether it's him, or his agent playing hardball...CBJ doesn't play that way.

Neither does Torts

This seems to be a little extreme. I'd say CBJ fans want Anderson here and he's working for a contract. There hadn't been any real issues until the recent statement saying we are trying to embarrass him. At this point as much as I personally feel Anderson is a guy you win titles with if they want to trade him in a Duchene trade it HAS to be with Murray and there is no pick added. Just them 2 for Duchene. But I wouldn't call Anderson a ******* here at all I'd call his agent a *******.

just saying watch Milanos play this offseason so far and look at every person either coaching or in management talk about him. He's been NHL ready for a year or 2 in a mid 6 role but there was only room for injury call ups. This year of Anderson isn't signed Milano is a shoe in and he is apparently very strong and and focused this year. Just give last preseason game or tonight against the pens a watch and see what you think. He's playing for a spot so you should see reasonable effort and likely at least a point or 2.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Rick Nash was worse.

As someone who lived through that atrocity, this is worse. Nash was rumored on the block at the deadline, was dealt in late July. Duchene has been on the block for a year and still nothing.

 

[cgf]

Also, how about:

Vince Dunn + Jordan Kyrou + something small for Duchene

Would prefer Kostin to Kyrou, but Dunn or Walman would be a great centerpiece for a Duchene trade.

Well the offers clearly weren't there.

Odds are that they have declined since the trade deadline (which makes sense).

Sakic is not willing to sell at the lowest point of his value and is betting on Duchene starting off hot and other teams realizing that they have to stop with the 2 year rental ******** (when was the last time a guy of Duchenes walked when his team was willing to pay up?) and realize that they kind of need center help right now.

I mean there are already signs there, that teams are finding out that there center position right now could use more work than they thought.

Once the losses start to pile up early, there is a decent chance that someone will up their offer.

As an Avs fan I just have to hope that Sakic will be ready to pounce then and be willing to readjust his asking price downwards to make it happen once that opportunity presents itself.

I am not hopeful that Joe is smart enough to get it done but it makes sense to keep him for now. He has looked very good in camp and preseason so far.

So might be a gamble worth taking...

 

[Fandlauer]

His value gets lower and lower every day he gets closer to walking for nothing.

This is like watching a pathetic gambler chase after their own money. All you can do is laugh at this point. Feel bad for Duchene though.

Hey if he shows that when the season starts I'll tip my cap to him; but I've never been a huge fan of his and am not sure he had any top tier skills like i'd want the centerpiece of a Duchene trade to have...like Bjorkstrand's shot n nose for goal or Fiala's hands n creativity.

Or until he can sign an extension with his new team the way ROR did...

That said, who cares about his "value"? The only things that will change the situation now are Duchene's contract status changing via a pre-arranged extension or by another GM getting desperate enough to do "whatever it takes". Neither of those depend on Duchene's value in a vacuum...although they could be effected by the season starting with Duchene reminding people of how good he is when not having the worst 3-4 month stretch of his career.

 

[Hunter368]

Had good laugh few days ago another stupid Eklund rumour about him hearing Duch for Trouba. No chance Jets consider a straight up trade. Zero

 

[The Lewler]

Chabot is not getting traded.

Package offered if Dorion was desperate might include Ceci.

At this point I imagine they are offering Claesson + White + 1st
