Cody Ceci + Logan Brown + 2017 1st round pick
for
Matt Duchene
Not enough? Too much? Give me your opinions.
Personally, I am not interested in that deal. First Ceci has more value than HF is saying. I don't think I would be ready to sacrifice Brown (11th OA last year and has HUGE potential) and a 1st (Sens could easily end up with another prospect like White or Chabot) to offset the difference in value between Ceci and Duchene, again despite HF opinions.
It's actually funny to read Sens rivals fans say "not enough"
Hmm weird sense of déjà vu. I suggest you read some of the last thread on this.
The value in a vacuum isn't that bad, but in the real world the Avs are looking for a LHD as they already have EJ and Barrie on the right side. Ceci is a good young player, not trying to bring him down, but if the Avs move a major piece on Duchene it needs to be for their biggest need, a young Lhd with #1 potential and pluses depending on how likely that potential is.
An example from Ottawa is Chabot, which Avs fans understand is a no from Ottawa as they are likely to lose a defenseman in the expansion draft and therefore are gonna need to keep their young #1 potential lhd. However this brings us to a stalemate. The Avs are not in a rush to move their players and can wait for the package they want. So no trade will happen.
Let's just sticky this post to every Colorado-Ottawa thread
And we could also mention that if Ottawa acquires a Center, another Center has to be going the other way : Turris or Brassard depending how good that center is.
Chabot is one the best dmen prospects not in the NHL, nobody's going to give him, or any prospect of his caliber up for Matt Duchene.
Well, they would if :
- there was no expansion draft where the set up makes it likely hat you are going to lose a good D-man
- they have no depth at center (Sens have Turris, Brassard, Smith, Pageau, Paul, White, Brown, Chlapik)
- the hottest commodity in the NHL wasn't young D-men
As a sens fan I dont want them to make that trade either.
Counter
To Anaheim: Brassard, White
To Ottawa: Duchene
To Colorado: Vatanen, Lazar, Anaheim 2nd.
Vatanen + 2nd is worth Brassard + White?
