Speculation: Summer Baggage Thread

[Ivan13]

Bonino to Nashville.

Duchene deal likely dead.

Like I said in the other thread, if they are out because they got Bonino they were never in to begin with.

Agreed.

Signing a depth forward should have very little effect on a Duchene deal.

 

[Avs44]

The Preds have never been a team to go with a really high end offense. They'll make do with Bonino in a top six role with Fisher / Jarnkrok / Sissons and so on filling out the bottom six centre spots. They're out on Duchene. I don't expect they were ever really in it, to be honest, since Sakic seems insistent on a top four D.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Agreed on all account.

Also I dont think Fischer is coming back.

The guys on TSN just said the Bonino signings is a strong indicator of where Mike Fischer is at with the organization and that Bonino is probably his replacement.


Unfortunately I cant see them taking a 6M Duchene if RyJo is wanting whats been rumored.


Murray + Jenner + is looking like the return now which is very disappointing as I dont like Murray at all.

If Sakic doesn't get a top 4 D for Dutch, he might as well take a futures package, because our D prospects are at least a few years away.

I think they were in it until they lost out on Alzner. Then they most likely reverted to plan B.

I'll be pleased if Sakic gets that. Not because it's an amazing return, but because he'll have actually moved Duchene and moved the franchise forward from this goddam fiasco.

That's true I guess. Just really dislike Murray and I'm not convinced Jenner is an impact player either.

 

[Foppberg]

Funny, I've always been a big Murray fan. I still think he has potential left.

 

[S E P H]

I don't think Nashville improved their offence with the Bonino and Hartnell signings, but this speculation is probably dead now.

I wouldn't say that. It looks like they should still have the cap space, and they can't possibly see Bonino as a 2C.

That's if Sakic takes his head out of his ass and doesn't demand a top4 D

 

[Talisman]

why you just don"t trade Duchene to Penguins!!

 

[McMetal]

why you just don"t trade Duchene to Penguins!!

Because they have nothing we want?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

why you just don"t trade Duchene to Penguins!!

Because they're offering terrible value?

 

[CB Joe]

Emelin to the Preds. I wonder if this changes anything.

Duchene to Preds e8

 

[ASmileyFace]

Emelin to the Preds. I wonder if this changes anything.

It certainly is an odd move if they aren't doing anything else.

 

[Drury_Sakic]

Emelin to the Preds. I wonder if this changes anything.

It has got to be close at this point, if not a done deal. Either that or they are doing another deal.

 

[agentblack]

I've been super critical of the Wilson deal

But if it's apart a larger NSH deal with multiple pieces we can build on then i get it

 

[LastWordArmy]

Sakic correct to be firm on this deal.

"For a player of Duchene's caliber and pedigree, he needs to ask the world"

"The fan base would not accept anything less than a king’s ransom for one of the faces of the franchise. Nor should they."

A 60 point C is not worth the world or a kings ransom.

 

[Patagonia]

With Radulov signing with Dallas for 6 years at $6.25M @ 31 years and Marleau for the same average for 3 year @ 38 years old; Duchene looks absolutely cheap for $6M for 2 years @ 26 years old.

Sakic better get this deal, there might not be a better time to trade him when his value has just gone up!

 

[the_fan]

Duchene's value actually went down after Johansson went to Devils for 2nd and 3rd round pics.

More Sakic waits, lesser he's gonna get in return if he in fact trades Duchene. At the end of the day he's gonna wait too long and forced to make a panic trade, because i still don't think Duchene is gonna be willing to resign with the Avs after all this drama.

Also, he is not supposed to be undersold just because people on a forum are way too eager to move our best player and used to making trades in frikking NHL17 in a heartbeat.
