Proposal: Duchene to Pitt as a wing

[DJN21]

Does the op stating he'd be a wing in the title decrease his value lol?

Would the Pens even trade Matta realistically?

DRW will take him.

Longest damn week I've ever seen.

Why would someone spend premium prices to pick up a #1C only to play him on the wing? Makes no sense.

See Staal, Eric.

Since when is a pair of 2nds a "premium price"? If that's all COL wanted, then sure that makes sense. But Duchene would cost a lot more then that (and a lot more then what Staal was moved for), thus making it unlikely that someone is trading for him to play him as a winger.

For a RHD that fit the system a little better? Maybe. But short of that, no probably not. And certainly not for a forward. Especially after we lose 2 of our top 3/4D.

Why would the Pens do this? They're playing well, and their D corp isn't exactly the deepest. And they're not exactly in the need for forwards.

You don't create a weakness to strengthen a strength.

I feel like this belongs in just about every thread on this board

Seriously, though, there's absolutely no reason for Pittsburgh to go after Duchene, and from Colorado's POV Pittsburgh would be a lousy trade partner anyway.

Hard to force this one to happen, but imagine that offense for the Penguins. Find a way to trade for Jagr assuming the Panthers are out of it and I would join that bandwagon is a second.

Duchene - Crosby - Jagr
who cares - Malkin - Kessel
who cares - who cares - who cares
who cares - who cares - who cares
