I see auto-correct got someone again.

Can a MOD please fix my awful butchering of the title. thanks.

Just hit edit and then go advanced.

 

[Byron Bitz]

He said he wants to re sign in Ottawa, if he wanted to walk why would he say that?

“Matt Duchene's tenure in Ottawa could wind up being very brief, as the 2019 unrestricted free agent confirmed to reporters Friday that he and the Senators haven't had any contract talks yet.”

That’s ridiculous. I get that EK is priority, but he alone isn’t a 24/7 job. How do you not at least get talks started with Duchene?

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

He's playing Duchesse while the other FAs are playing checkers...


I'll see myself out

[Profet]

What a load of duke...

False, Dorion skype call's EK every night: "So, whatcha doinnnnn? How was your day? No you hang up. I don't want to hang up. You. No, you. Ok sweet dreams, text me when you wake up"

He said he wants to re sign in Ottawa, if he wanted to walk why would he say that?

Because every player ever has said that about their team. And most have more than a partial season in that city under their belt. He ain't staying. Why would he?

 

[Neutrinos]

Ottawa shouldn't be looking to re-sign him anyway

It's pretty obvious they should be rebuilding

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

not a surprise based on how awful the ottawa organization seems to be right now from top to bottom. The best thing ottawa has going for them is the talent on the team, and that could change real quick.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Isn’t it a forgone conclusion that he wants to play in Nashville?

 

[Byron Bitz]

Because every player ever has said that about their team. And most have more than a partial season in that city under their belt. He ain't staying. Why would he?

But Duchene said it really enthusiastically

 

[BonMorrison]

idk why the thread title made me think of this. the green jacket is free agency, sub in the heads as necessary.

This is why it’s important to have an assistant GM

 

[Slyfox]

The Sens are going into a full rebuild whether they like it or not. Trade him for the best package.

Pretty sure that if Ottawa can't get Karlsson done then they don't want to extend Duchene anyway.

They'll be looking to sell him for future assets at that point.

Some good video here too

 

[Tweed]

Inspired by Tavares, he's Free Agency bound, so he can live his childhood dream... and play for his favourite team growing up.

Amirite?

If you mean they should trade him for future assets then yeah I agree. They definitely shouldnt let him walk though.

 

[Hale The Villain]

He said he wants to re sign in Ottawa, if he wanted to walk why would he say that?

It's called lip service.

If he said the opposite the media would have a field day.

 

[Foppberg]

Man oh man... if he goes to free agency, what a f***ing trade.

If he's playing in the Tr91tor way he's already messed up by saying he's interested in Free Agency lol. He needs to say the exact opposite for the next 9 months and then do a 180.
