Hey! You suck!
I mean we know Dorion has made some dumb moves in the past, but not letting teams talk extensions is just gonna insure he gets a first and not much more.

This. Hayes is not better than Turris, IMHO. Big body and putting up some points this season, but in the big picture he is not a difference-maker. He's another soft middling player. I wouldn't want them to re-sign him at $5-6M+ or whatever his numbers say his next contract should be. If you get him as a rental for a 2020 2nd round pick... ooookay, I guess that's not the end of the world. But surely other teams are looking at him more seriously than that. He'd be a pointless acquisition for our team, I'd say... a sign that "all else failed".
All else should NOT fail in this window season with so many options on the market.

What is CBJ thinking? I'm going to guess they aren't going to be able to re-sign Duchene. They aren't an elite team even with him. They are giving up assets and will likely be stuck holding the purse after Panarin, Bob, and Duchene flee this summer.
Guess they really want to get over that round 1 hump.

Screw that.
Yesterday, the guys on TSN (Dreger, Mckenzie, Lebrun?) were saying that the price for Winnipeg was two 1sts and two prospects/young players and they were willing to pay it or close to it.
They can have him.

Not the end of the world. He was only ever a delta boost for us anyway. The real key was, and remains, whether he has any interest in playing here as of July 1. Saving the futures and recalibrating to a July 1st acquisition "for free" is fine by me.

Well, they will have the cap room anyway. I don't know if Duchene is a pure money guy or also willing to trade $$$ for wins. Panarin and Bob fleeing may mean CBJ can pay TOP dollar for him. If top dollar is all he wants. If that's what he's interested in, you can't fault him. It's his life. But he's not getting that coming here. CBJ or somebody else would be welcome to him in that case.

What is interesting about the Columbus situation is they may not even MAKE the playoffs, even if they get Duchene. Right now there are 4 teams competing for 3 spots (Penguins, Habs, Canes, Blue Jackets).
Duchene certainly helps their chances, but it would not shock me at all if they missed completely.

Duchene gives them a chance to sign a 1C that they need. They could be working on a deal to trade Panerin as a rental that would get back the assets they use to get Duchene.

Man I can't stand Columbus, but that would be one of the biggest blunders of all time to go in like that and not only miss the playoffs but lose all 3 of them to UFA as well.
From the pieces moving it sounds more like a rental but I can't imagine taking that risk.

If it's all about the money then I could see him re-signing. It would just look odd that a guy who has been in the league for a decade, finally reaches UFA and then signs long term in Columbus of all places before he can test the market? File that under things I didn't see coming from a mile away.

And it looks like it is a rental and they don't have an extension. Columbus is basically taking a chance on a run.
I can't decide if it's stupid or ballsy as hell. Guess it could be both.

Interesting... if it is Abramov and Davidsson, those are a couple pretty good prospects up front, then a 1st conditional on Duchene re-signing? I mean, we could have done that, though our 1st wound't have the same "upside" as Columbus' does if they miss the playoffs. Tolvanen is probably still a notch above those two prospects. But our next-best forward prospect (Mismash? Who?) would be a significant notch below, so if you looked at our comparable as Tolvanen+Mismash+conditional 1st... I don't think we win? I'd be ok with that price to get Duchene, not ok if you replaced Mismash with Fabbro, our only other truly attractive prospect. Net: ok with not paying it and letting him go to Columbus. Seems reasonable.

Now we just need to trade for Stone, then sign Duchene in the summer.
Done and done
We can figure out other moves in the offseason to keep both of them.
Wishful thinking for sure- lol
