Pens say no.

With Crosby, Malkin, Brassard, Sheahan, Cullen, Bleuger...where exactly do you see Duchene fitting in...especially at $6mil?

This is not a well thought out proposal.

Duchene can play wing and the Pens are most likely losing Brassard anyways. They’d also have enough to extend him. Maybe Ott would want Brassard in the package for Duchene?

Duchene is trash and a head case. Hard pass.

 

[Ctrain2k]

Just cause you guys overpaid for him doesn’t mean someone else will

I doubt it.

Sprong plays wing. Why spend the assets to upgrade a position of strength and create a whole in the defense?

he's a pens fan so his "guys" did not pay for him at all, let alone overpay

 

[Jumptheshark]

pens say no

 

[Harvey Birdman]

Not interested.

I mean JR is in love with Duchene and the rumored package he offered before included Maatta and Sprong in it so I wouldn’t be surprised if he Maatta was traded for Duchene.

 

[Human]

But why?

And they're not likely to lose Duchene if they get him?

 

[Patagonia]

Pens wait until the TDL and get Duchene for a 2nd round pick.

 

[Kasperi kapanen]

And they're not likely to lose Duchene if they get him?

It’s a possibility but if JR trades for any of the 3 (Patches, Skinner, Duchene) he prolly wants to extend them. Also they will have a lot of cap space next offseason and Kessel will probably get traded in the next year so that’s another 6.8m.

 

[Korpse]

So who’s going to be playing C for Ottawa?

 

[orby]

why would the pens trade for a center who "can play wing" instead of just trading for a winger?

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Duchene wants to win but he also wants to get paid after this. I could see him going balls out for a year and actually putting up points next to Crosby or Malkin, but he will likely walk for $8M per or whatever after.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Pittsburgh is aging and shouldn'tbe givingup more 1st rounders.

 

[mccoyadam]

The price of Duchene was too high for Pens the first time and not a damn thing has changed. Hes not worth any of that to the Penguins. No point in him at Center, or Wing, Pens seem very high on Simon, who will be training with Sid this offseason, and Sprong, who will hopefully finally make that jump to the NHL

 

[SomeDude]

Spending assets for a big name player just to play him out of position? 90% chance OP is Disco Dan Bylsma.

 

[SensFactor]

Duchene will sign long term in Ottawa. He will get the "A" and Stone will get the "C". close thread.

 

[tucker3434]

He'd be a phenomenal add at the TDL as a playoff rental, but there’s no way Dorion should let it get that far.

 

[PensandCaps]

lol what an awful deal for the Pens. We have Brassard...no need for this deal. Losing Maatta would be horrible, especially for a rental.
