Not to worry lots of time to figure it all out.

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

For Ottawa fans sake I hope a good deal gets done

 

[CraigsList]

It was just a lunch date then.

And I'm sure the agent had to pay for it.

Is there? They can lose him for nothing

 

[Taluss]

He will sign, I know it.

For a different team

That is a heck of a tab for the agent to pick up.

If we re-sign Duchene then giving Colorado our first will be much easier to take.

Goes from one of the worst trades in history to just "bad" and if, somehow, the Sens have a good finish to the season and finish out of the bottom 5 the trade becomes rather good for Ottawa (while remaining great for Colorado and Nashville).

Its almost impossible to get a top line C via trade so you gotta pay the price.

More like this in reality

Stone and Duchene will both sign. Dzingel will be flipped for late first rounder.

 

[Moosetache]

Canes will take Dzingel for the 1st rounder they get from Pitt in the Ferland trade.

 

[Sniperberg]

Duchene gonna walk and sign in Colorado.

 

[Isles72]

last year at this time the isles owner met with brisson in LA (JT) and nothing came of it either .

 

[TruePowerSlave]

What was even discussed? If Ottawa is serious about keeping Duchene Dorion would have sent out an actual contract offer months ago. Looks like a PR move to please the dummies who think Duchene is staying and make sure that the Sens management can say that they did everything they could in the situation.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Duchene left Colorado because he didn't want to be in a rebuild I can't see him staying in Ottawa

 

[Artanis]

Apparently the meeting was to talk about what Duchene wants, and they need an answer 2 weeks before the TDL.
Also one of the companies involved with the new project to bring the Sens Downtown is in LA, so Dorion was probably meeting with them as well people are speculating.

 

[Icelevel]

Hopefully Dorion didn’t do any talking. He only knows how to make situations worse.

 

[Tuggy]

Not to worry lots of time to figure it all out.

I wouldn't say lots of time. If he doesn't have a deal by the TDL, then the Sens have to trade him. No way can they risk him walking for nothing.

That being said, if (big if) they can sign Duchene then the trade with the Avs doesn't look so bad.

Why fly to LA if theres not negociating. As a sens fan im very annoyed. Save your money jesus

 

[LeafFever]

I don't see the point in Ottawa spending so much $ on him. The only reason would be to justify giving up the potential lottery pick.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Hope you liked that butt whopping yesterday. Sens will finish outside the bottom five. I'll come back and discuss with you after the season.

You know its a bad year when a meaningless regular season win means this much and finishing outside the bottom five is seen as some sort of accomplishment.

We're going to find out here soon how truthful that comment was. All he has to do is hold out a month and he'll get traded to a competing team and get that playoff hockey he wants. Then he pretty much gets to pick from 30 teams, ala Tavares light.

Or he can sign in Ottawa and sit through another long rebuild. But hey, close to home! Knowing the Avs luck he'll end up back in the Central.

If Buffalo can keep Skinner they would be a great fit then you'd have Eichel and Skinner on one line, Duchene and Reinhart on another and they'd be looking pretty good up front
