If that were true then maybe the Avs should get Kovalchuk because they will be an instant contender.
Beat me to it

No the centerpiece is what you will be adding to either one of them.
If we're buying, they're centerpieces. You can insist otherwise, as Duchene is your asset and y'all are allowed to set the price accordingly, but you cannot make us buy.
That is an ask. That is not a price we will meet. Not unless something is added to Duchene. It is y'alls prerogative to set such a price, but we are not obligated to buy.It would be centerpiece + Carlsson, maybe even a pick. I don't see the Avs being interested in Murray but maybe I'm wrong.
Pretty sure that the Avs would be in a position to take back Beleskey or McQuaid if Sweeney paid them for it in the trade.
I honestly never thought of Boston as an option before these rumors popped up yesterday.
But realistically the time for the Bruins is now. Sweeney probably can't afford to wait for all his prospects to develop if he wants to keep his job.
If he wants a piece like Duchene or Landeskog right now, it will cost him Carlo++ and he will have to ultimately decide if it is worth it to him or not.
McAvoy is probably a lock for next seasons roster and maybe he believes rolling 2 20 year olds on the right side is not a good idea anyways given that he really wants to win and rather uses one in a trade and relies on Miller or someone else he can get via trade to shore up his defensive corps.
I mean Sakic trading Duchene for a package with Carlo as the centerpiece does not make much sense for the Avs anyways right now given that we just drafted Makar and Timmins and still have EJ and Barrie on the right side with a giant hole on the left.
I would assume any such trade would lead to the Avs shipping out one of EJ/Barrie as well.
So odds are that both guys have some sort of "backup plan" if those rumors come to fruition which is unlikely but not impossible.
All we can do is sit back and wait.
Also did not Kypreos bring up Duchene to Boston yesterday? There is a whole thread about that on your board. So there is certainly some smoke there and it is not coming from the Avs side...
Trading for the sake of trading isn't how you build a franchise.
Carlo is LD not RD

Then round out a 4th line and 3rd D pairing.
In this thread are a bunch of salty fans who don't know the value of Duchene. You aren't going to get Duchene for un-established players and late 1st rounders. How stupid can you guys be
He's going to get what the market is willing to pay. It's not unheard of players being traded for less than worth. And it takes two GMs to make a trade, this isn't a hostage negotiate.
That is an ask. That is not a price we will meet. Not unless something is added to Duchene. It is y'alls prerogative to set such a price, but we are not obligated to buy.
the market is willing to pay A LOT for an established all-star center who is only 26 and skates like the wind. Get real bud

It's not an ask, it's a prediction.

I love posts like this. Sarcastic golf clap for you actually thinking you have any idea what management will and won't do
