Confirmed Signing with Link: [DAL] F Matt Duchene signs with the Stars (1 year, $3M)

[Brent Burns]

This could put them over the top

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Dallas is gonna be really really good

 

[ryan callahan]

Weird move by DAL. Thought they might have wanted to give Stankoven and Johnston bigger roles.

They can still do that. Duchene will probably play on Seguin's wing

 

[Gh24]

That's a good deal for them for what Duchene brings to the ice

 

[Macheteops]

Who was saying he wouldn't sign for a cent under $5m

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Wanted this for the isles. Good move by Dallas

For that money he was going to a contender to rack up points and go for a big contract next year.

Benn, Dadonov, Seguin, Duchene and Pavelski is a lot of old forwards for me. We'll see I guess. Seguin and Benn particularly could fall off a cliff, and Pavelski is old as hell.

Guess the isles aren’t a contender

 

[TheBeard]

All these players signing super short deals knowing where the cap is gonna be in two years time.

 

[Boud]

We live in a world where Justin Holl gets 3x3.4M and Matt Duchene gets 1x3M.

What a time to be alive

 

[NoelVilla]

I am not sure that is a good signing. Him and Marchment will look lost together in the playoffs.

 

[JackTColton]

Awesome signing.

 

[Bobby Bottle Service]

Can he out-douche Jamie Benn? Time will tell.

 

[AnalogKid]

Lovely, can't wait for him to score a hatty in his return to Smashville..... no idea why we bought him out in the first place.

 

[centipede2233]

Being a gm of a no state tax team is easy mode on be a gm.

TSN: so why did you sign in dallas?
MD: well dallas is really similar to Nashville, the culture, demographics…hmmm yeah that’s it, it has absolutely nothing to do with no state taxes

 

[bleuetbio]

thats welldone for the Stars! I would be all over him too

 

[Nothingbutglass]

Do they have country music in Texas?

More of a Finnish Death Metal scene

 

[SENStastic]

This and Wheeler deal wins the day

 

[Unspecified]

Very good signing for us.

Pavelski-Hintz-Robertson is going to torch opponents till Pavelski is using a walker.

Dadonov and Duchene still have plenty of speed.

With old guys you’re worried about them losing speed. It’s hit Seguin hard, but Benn has adjusted.

 

[Hollowmoon]

Very nice! Good signing

 

[JeffP]

..but can he play defense?
just kidding- still psyched about this deal.

we just really needed to focus on trading for best available/affordable RHD

you know, i thought Seguin had moments where he looked significantly better this year

 

[seafoam]

unbelievable where were my Isles on this??

Duchene likes places where there is country music.

 

[bossram]

I like this for Dallas. I see Duchene as an upgrade on Domi, in terms of a defensively suspect rush-offense forward.
