I just don’t see why Duchene won’t test free agency unless Ottowa decides to massively overpay him. Yeah good luck with that.
Confirmed with Link: Turris to NSH for Girard, Kamenev, and a 2nd

Yeah the way I understood it is they were buying an extra year of cost certainty by exchanging Turris(who would have been ufa this summer) for Duchene(two years under contract), with the thought being the Sens had a short window to be Cup contenders before they would have to rebuild

Cheap owner that is always blaming the fans for the financial issues of the team.

Peter Dorion repeating over and over that he makes the decisions was embarrassing.
Glad to see Turris doing so well for you guys. Hated to see him go, but glad he went to a great team like Nashville. Hope you guys go all the way this year, because I don’t think Ottawa will.

I really don't recall Leipold as cheap. Seems he actually spent a lot at the time and the team did have a lot more giveaways for us el cheapos.
I think he blamed the corporations here more than the fans till the end. Leipold did some good and bad here from what I recall.
He did have an utterly incompetent marketing department with that vile Stevie Violetta, and of course he had no clue or desire to market the arena.
Of course the ownership here now is ten times better than Liarpold ever was.

Turris is just like a Jelly of the Month Club membership: he's the gift that keeps on giving all year 'round.

I realize its OT but part of our outdoor Christmas decorations include a life-size recreation of this scene...

My wife and I forget Eddie is on our porch and he scares the crap out of us at least once a day. We couldn't find orange tubing so had to use black but otherwise it's pretty authentic
Yep. He said he felt safer on our porch than he did in Hollywood

Yeah they didn't have any obese mannequins so he does look a little more like Dennis than Randy but the robe, stogie and beer can make up for it

Just in case anyone was curious about lil Sam; he has 6 points in 7 games since Barrie went down...and this avs fan is hoping that he can hold onto that 1st unit PP gig even after Tyson comes back, since his unshakeable calm is better for our PP than Barrie's uncontainable chaos.
Hopefully this trade helps you guys win a cup soon, so that your players can get complacent & lazy by the time we're ready to start making runs of our own

You mean playing at an unsustainable level isn't possible all year?
Really what happened was he was getting all the bounces and now he's not. That and the top line of Forsberg-Johansen-Arvidsson hasn't been much of anything since early December when Johansen got hurt. Then Forsberg got hurt not long after so Turris has really been the top line and main focus of opposition. It happens.

He's gotten the looks but has been snakebit. Also PP cooldown had dropped his production. Fiala not on his line anymore not helping either.

Speaking of; how has Fiala been looking this year? I was lowkey hoping that Joe would luck into getting fiala instead of Kam & the pick in the duchene trade, cause he seems like he should grow into a really fun player. So I can't help but be curious how he looks in Preds games against teams other than Colorado, Buffalo & Chicago.

He's been amazing this year and has been our best forward with Forsberg out.
