He could only sign maximum 7 years though, right? Where he could sign 8 years now.
If you read the tweet, you'd understand that he loves the city of Ottawa.Why would he want to go back to that tirefire in Ottawa after presumably being on a good team for a playoff push once he's traded?
Seems like fluff to me. Nearly every player "loves" the city they play in, but players move on all the time.If you read the tweet, you'd understand that he loves the city of Ottawa.
It's a joke. They said he would be traded to a winner.Source?
They can say what they want.It's a joke. They said he would be traded to a winner.
Toronto is just as close, why doesn't he go to the Leafs? They're a far better team with a legit Cup chance.Duchene is from Haliburton, quite close to his family. Wouldn't surprise me.

I don't think Toronto as any cap space to sign Duchene at 8M$.Toronto is just as close, why doesn't he go to the Leafs? They're a far better team with a legit Cup chance.
*tinfoil hat on*
Melnyk knows what he is doing, kinda. He has deals in place with Karlsson, Duchene and Stone that he will trade them, and next year will be able to pay you all. He is making it look like he doesnt have enough money to pay them next year, so teams are more willing to pay a higher price because they believe Ottawa wont be able to do anything about it anyways, but really Eugene (The Brain) Melnyk, has had a plan all along.
You see, Melnyk isnt as broke as he wants you to think. Infact, he has more thank enough money saved to pay for all these players + more. He did it by only spending to the cap floor for a couple years, and while yes it hurt his team, he was able to save more money for a big splurge year, that will hopefully kickstart the market and help them get a new arena, more fans, more money etc.
Big Brain Melnyk has been playing us all along.
We are not worthy.
