Assuming Ottawa and Duchene cant agree on a new contract and that the Habs are in the playoffs race , they probably move him at the deadline to get some assets, here is my proposal:

To Habs: Duchene
To Ottawa: Danault + Hudon + Ikonen + Hillis\McShane

Holy underpay. Duchene would be one of the best rentals we've seen hit the TDL market. Hopefully Ottawa can get something close to good value for him. This proposal is awful.

I'm a Habs fan, and that ain't gonna cut it. A middle six center, a fringe player with skill, and a Finn falling down the depth chart of prospects aren't going to get you Duchene. They're going to be looking for a blue chip prospect, a first and more.

Unless Duchene does not want to be there I don’t see why a deal doesn’t get done.

Ottawa has the cap space and he will get first line minutes.

As for the trade, just awful. Should lock it up.

Start with 2019 st no protection.
Then add player or prospect as I am sure it would come with the stipulation that he resign.

Personally if Habs are looking to spend assets I think they go after top 4 LHD.

Special K will be a stud in two years;
Domi has flourished as a C
Phoeling will be a great 3C
Danault will be a fantastic 4C

Are you seriously saying you would not make this trade? Asking for a friend,

I don't want anything with duchene, I don't like the player and I don't like the guy. he's a negative energy in the lockeroom, was in Colorado ( mostly with Roy) and was is in Ottawa

I’ve seen a lot of people try and trade a bunch of lesser assets for one good asset, but I’ve never seen someone trade a bunch of assets nobody’s ever wanted for a top 20 centerman.

Baffled,

Hfboards never seizes to surprise me.

1) That seems pretty cheap for a rental Duchene;
2) Ottawa REALLY doesn't like trading in-conference, let alone to rivals; and
3) Montreal doesn't really need a rental Duchene.
