Value of: Matt Duchene

[TGWL]

Duchene is likely getting $8M per, the Uber video was done last year and it might have been childish statement it really doesn't hurt his value. Sens are a terrible team, he still had a decent season given the problems. Finding a possible 1C or strong 2C, especially when inferior players playing lesser position in Kane and JVR snagged $7M deals.

Sens if they want any value need to entertain a trade sooner than later. I don't believe they've even discussed extension, but given the cheap owner will unlikely offer anything near MV which could only drive his trade value lower.

Pretty sure the video is as recent as late Oct. Not the 2017 date you see in the video. Chris Tierney is in the video.

Is it just me or is Matt Duchene gives off an impression as a 'black cloud.'

Was considered a core player for Colorado, but Colorado just never got out of the dumps. Got traded to Ottawa leading to Ottawa's free fall.

Just hasn't had a positive impact on the organizations he's played for.

You could be right. But you aren't allowing anything at all for this latest incident. Its just my opinion but I wouldn't allow him anywhere near my team for any price. If just 1 or 2 GMs want him, it doesn't create much of a bidding war. Maybe it becomes more about term than AAV. Maybe some team is willing to throw a lot of money at him, as long as they don't have to commit long term. Any team that gives him both money and term will likely regret it.

Almost every former player or exec who has commented has written off the Uber comments as things every player says and not #lockerroomcancer material. This incident won't register in July when teams are deciding whether or not to offer Duchene a big contract.

You're overselling him. I don't know how much of an attitude problem is, but I would bet that NHL insiders would. That will determine on whether or not he makes a long term contract north of 6M. His career has been plateauing, at best, in recent years. No one should sign him and hope that he has any upside beyond what he has shown.

I never stated he'd be signed with hope of any upside.

I've stated that centers are more valuable than wingers, and two prominent wingers with Duchene's level of production and age range got 7M last year.

The video is from October 29th of this year (Last week). They released a statement about it. Demelo, Tierney are in the video.

everyone who said his value is nothing will look pretty stupid when he get's traded.

 

[mondo3]

I wonder if he would be a fit for Vegas (if they could re-sign him)

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Sharks will give you Melker Karlsson and a 2nd in 2020 for Duchene at 50%. lol

What do you expect them to say?

Maybe it is just employees venting and criticizing their boss - but it was out in public. It was a couple of veterans who should know enough to try and foster a positive attitude, especially knowing the **** show their team has been going through. Those veterans were saying these things to and in front of, young players and rookies. They certainly should know better.

I may be blowing this out of proportion but I will stick by my opinion of Duchene. Wouldn't have him on my team.

Bob McKenzie said on Insider Trading today that Duchene is in substantive contract talks with Ottawa for an extension, FWIW.

Can't really trade him now that his value is so low. Resign him, hope for a bounce back/let him grow up and see what they can get for him down the road.

3 point night. +4.

Toxic player.

 

[SensFactor]

Sens will sign him and Stone. They will move Dzingel likely and Ceci

Your really think Melnyk is going to pony up the 14m-16m a year for at least the next 5 years for both of them? I doubt it.

Yeah why would a GM want to pay good players?

Oh I don't doubt it. Ceci money off the books along with others and I Beleive we sign both.

This might blow your mind, but he's actually been spending even more than 14m-16m a year ever since he bought the team!

The guy is poison to whatever team he's on. I wouldn't want him on my team.

Like the Gold medal U17 team? or Gold medal World Juniors Team? No?
How about the IH18 Gold medal team? Spangler Cup winning team? Or the two Gold and one Silver World Cup teams? Not those teams? The Gold medal World Championship team? No? Ooohhhhhhh you mean the Gold Medal Olympic team!

Strip that poisonous piece of garbage of his citizenship.

Like the Colorado Avalanche, who have been much, much better and a lot happier since he left. Also the Ottawa Senators who have been a shit show since he arrived.

We've been a shit show for years. Karlsson just covered the mess up with his epicness.
No doubt Colorado is happy that they are winning. Ask any real Avs fan if Duchene was the reason they had missed the playoffs for so many years.
