Why is it funny? If you look at my following posts in this thread, you'll see where I am saying/implying the price was NOT likely met. I'm in agreement with that.
But that's neither here nor there. My point had NOTHING to do with the price being met or not met. The point was simply that what Canes fans have been saying all along (the concern about 2 years left), in which multiple Avs fans called it ridiculous, non-issue, and something only fans worry about has now been indeed stated as an issue by a respected media person. Nothing more, nothing less.
fair but my point is, literally everyone is clueless (not just avs fans) and has no idea what is going on behind closed doors, because frankly even the best insiders dont know the meat of the conversations.
however i took this stance with ror, and ill take it here with carolina, if they feel they only get duchene for only 2 years, that is their problem, colorado will not be lowering their asking price for their concerns of resigning him. Duchene isn't a rental until the deadline, Duchene is a VERY RARE talent that just doesn't go UFA and until that final deadline of his deal, i would not lower his asking price a substantial amount because someone will get desperate.
now of course all of that is my opinion but if i was gm, that is my stance, and of course if you were gm of carolina, i would understand why you wouldn't like that plan and would be reluctant to give the pieces.
