Value of: Matt Duchene to the Carolina Hurricanes
- Thread starter Filthy Dangles
- Start date
No interest in him for the Canes. Doesn't fit the team, age window, or needs.

Would Canes fans be fine with this?

I think Ottawa would want futures and not a guy who's gonna walk after 1 year which is exactly what Duchene is going to do if they keep him
If it was going to happen it probably would have already. I doubt he will be the type of player Car would be looking for but if it were to happen it would be at next years TDL and the price would be something like a pick and a prospect but even then I just don' t see this lining up right with the trajectories of each team. Now that Car is looking to build around the younger core and moving out guys like Skinner and possibly Faulk, there is little chance Duchene would stay.
No. No interest in Duchene at-all, at any cost.
I don't think he's a top-line C anymore and the Canes have an abundance of mid-6 Cs and guys to tryout at C.
Hard pass. Do not want.
If Duchene would be amicable to an extension and Dundon would be committed enough financially to sign him to it, sure.
In the absence of that, that's far too aggressive of a move for Carolina to make. Honestly, the Canes just aren't talented enough to take advantage of that one year of term left on his contract; Duchene doesn't put Carolina over the top.

Williams will be done with the Canes after this season and Skinner is likely being traded. Canes need another top 6 player. Duchene can play both wing and center.
Aho-Duchene-Svechnikov
Teravainen-Necas-Lindholm
Staal-Rask-Ryan
Pretty sick top 9.
Duchene was a near point per game scorer in the 2nd half.
He's still a very good player. Given the opportunity to get a center of his caliber, with some prime years left at 27, without having to give up a core player in exchange, I think you take it if an extension is viable for both sides.
Remove Bean and add a guy like Luke Martin or Roland McKeown. With a reasonable extension (after July 1) I’d be fine with that. Although I’m not sure how well Duchene fits with what Brind’Amour wants at Center.
Derek Ryan is gone. He's a UFA. Hopefully, so is Rask. Lindholm is a C; he plays best there. Aho is someone we want at C. TT and Aho are super together. Staal's better at C.

y'all looking to be terrible to forfeit this year's pick and keep 2019 or y'all looking to get better and hope next year's pick is in the 10-14 range?
If its futures I would say Kuokkanen and next year's first (pre-extension) if post then add in another player, probably bean
If to try to get better, we have some roster players that could benefit you.
But of course if you really want to suck we could take Stone too and put together a pretty sweet package.
(ps I know it isnt happening)

Except, can't see Skinner waiving his NTC for Ottawa, especially given the cluster&%$ with Karlsson and Hoffman.
edit: better way to phrase it:
The chances of Skinner waiving for Ottawa are less than the chances of Lloyd Christmas ending up with Mary Swanson in Dumb And Dumber.

Thank you, Bill!
Again, I don't see the need, I think we have too many Cs and potential-Cs as is, and I'm not interested at the expected price tag.
Don't want to give up a 1st for him.
Would give up multiple specs (as our system is deep) and even NHL talent at positions of depth. Can we interest you in Rask?

I would still love to get Duchene. If we could get him with futures now because of the direction Ottawa might be heading, that'd be great. Even going back to the Avs days I've said I would overpay in futures to get him. The Canes in no way have too many centers, as we have about two guys that have proven they can play center at this level. And seeing as many centers can play the wing, like Lindholm and Aho, I don't see too many centers as being any kind of issue. I don't think it's in the cards though.

Literally all you guys have been saying for the last five years is how good things would be if you got 1) proven goaltending and 2) a legit first line centre. Don’t give me ‘Duchene doesn’t fit our needs’, that’s BS.
He can sign an extension July 1. If that were to happen it completely changes things
This Canes fan wouldn’t be opposed to having Duchene on the team. I’d rather have ROR if he’s available, and any Duchene trade has to involve Victor Rask.

Can you really trust Ottawa with the mess of a team? Duchene with the Canes would be a perfect fit, but my suspicion is he would refuse and test UFA.
