Friedman says Tampa wants a young cost controlled player for Drouin. Apparently they can't bring money in. He said that's why you're hearing Fabbri's name out there in those discussions.

Man, I'm gonna be pissed if the Blues get him with Fabbri being the main piece going the other way.

Why? Fabbri by all accounts is looking like a pretty good future top 9 guy maybe even better. Plus im pretty sure it wont just be one sole youngster by himself going the other way unless someone has another top 3 draft pick just chillin on the sidelides

But in any event i feel like the most important thing I took from that was "a young player with a contract they can control" meaning it doesnt matter what position.

 

[Hasbro]

Offer them Pickard then.

Then Yzeman will have to choose between (Shatten)Kirk or Pickard.

Chambers has a gem of an article tonight, he thinks the Avs traded ROR too soon and if they waited they could have traded him for Seth Jones.

He's completely oblivious to the contract situations.

Thank you, Captain Hindsight!

I laughed at this way harder than I should have

I think Drouin is a better player and prospect than Fabbri. He has shown that at every level too.

Any rumors regarding the avs?

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Garrioch says Avs and Preds talked Duchene/Jones. Not sure it's believable.

 

[FALAPARK17]

Garrioch says Avs and Preds talked Duchene/Jones. Not sure it's believable.

Wow... I wonder why he would think we would do that.

 

[hughdreamz]

Garrioch says Avs and Preds talked Duchene/Jones. Not sure it's believable.

If we traded Duchene we'd immediately become a much much worse team. He's been our best player this season.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

What do people think of Wiercioch?

Avs seem to be sniffing around him all the time.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Who knows what "talked" means anyway?

"What would it take to get Jones?"
"Duchene"
"Thanks, good to know"

 

[Avsboy]

Garrioch says Avs and Preds talked Duchene/Jones. Not sure it's believable.

Were they rumored to have talked recently?

Anyway, it doesn't matter. Garrioch is not Friedman or Bob.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

What do people think of Wiercioch?

Avs seem to be sniffing around him all the time.

He's a favorite of all the stat folks. Depends on the price, but I'd take a chance because he can move the puck. He's similar to Gormley, but has more offensive ability. Same issues in the defensive zone.

Last week McKenzie said he'd be shocked if the Preds didn't talk to the Avs about Duchene.

Of course not, it's Garrioch.

 

[Avsboy]

Last week McKenzie said he'd be shocked if the Preds didn't talk to the Avs about Duchene.

Like TV said, it would probably be nothing but a brief call followed by a click. Duchene is worth Weber, and considering age, I'm not even sure about that.

*runs away*

Wouldn't even want Weber. He's declining.

It may have gone farther than that, but I'm sure the Preds did not like the additional piece(s) Sakic would have required

 

[tigervixxxen]

Sure, Nashville wanted a number one center badly, I'm sure all of them were up for discussion.

Agreed here, though he's stronger than gormley and so not quite as liable to get pushed around. Though with Holden's strong play he seems like he'd become pretty redundant pretty quickly.

Last week McKenzie said he'd be shocked if the Preds didn't talk to the Avs about Duchene.

I'm pretty sure these Duchene-Johansen and Duchene-Jones conversations went down when all those trade rumors started a couple months ago. Both sides testing the waters, and since then Dutchy has got back to the level he's capable of. So there was zero interest from the Avs when the Preds and Jackets were actually ready to consummate the deal.
