Rumor: Trade rumours/Proposals 2018-2019 (Part 14)

[hockey20000]

Obviously "grain of salt", but for those familiar, Kevin Lee is a pretty big Sens "super fan" on Twitter. I know that sounds silly, but he's well known in the Sens "fan community".

Similar to what we heard from Friedman.

if that's true then seriousIy **** you dorian and meInyk… getting to the point where part of me wishes someone wouId yeII to dorian at the rink just because of his stupidity IoI

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I’m cheering for them to crash and us draft around 15. I’d rather get a player in the system this year then wait until next year

You hope they crash because that would make you feel like you were right about Duchene.



Getting another 1st rounder is by far the best outcome.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I find it a little strange that both Dallas and Columbus gave up conditional 1st round picks this year if they end up signing the players they traded for. If your Columbus and Panarin and Bobrovski walk, do you even bother offering Duchene a contract if it means you have to give up another 1st round pick that's unprotected when your team is a fringe playoff team that just got worse?

Absolutely. We know first-hand what is feels like when ownership and management just give up.

You have to try to compete if you want people to spend money on you.

I want them to miss the playoffs and crash because I don’t think for 1 second Duchene is signing in CLB. So to me the conditional 1st is a non issue.

We also know first hand what it's like to go into a season with another team owning your first round pick.

I think this as well

I agree

 

[GoSenatorsGo]

This is such a stupid and petty thing to say but you said it.

Agreed, I think we have a better shot at signing him then they do.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Look at the draft picks CBJ traded away. They didn't do that with the intention of rebuilding next year.

There's no doubt in my mind they'd give up a 1st round pick for 8 years of Duchene. The big question is whether or not Duchene would stay there.

 

[Samboni]

Doubt he'll re-sign there.

IMO, he’ll sign with one of the top 6 or 7 teams. He’s tired of not playing playoff hockey.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Agreed, I think we have a better shot at signing him then they do.

If we do, then I don't want him.

It would definitely say a lot (and not in a positive way) about a player that would come back here after all this.

having a baby definitely puts things into perspective, and having a wife whos a new mother who likes a certain area or prefers a certain city definitely narrows options... that being said I doubt Duchene comes back here

Does any of the top 6, 7 teams have room or a need for him?

 

[God Says No]

The Habs. They have a ton of cap space and need a 1C.

 

[Riceroni]

The Habs. They have a ton of cap space and need a 1C.

If he goes to the Habs I'd boo him forever..

 

[God Says No]

If he goes to the Habs I'd boo him forever..

Yip me too. I think there is a very good chance he goes there. He likes this area, they were allegedly interested in him at the TDL. They have the room, and need a top 6C. The only hope is that the Duchene curse is real.

 

[topshelf15]

The Habs. They have a ton of cap space and need a 1C.

They would be better and likely would remain as a mid tier threat ..Not much more than that though...So let them have him

 

[OgieO]

I think the poster above (previous page) has it right... the best case scenario for us with Columbus is they make playoffs, lose a heartbreaking 7 game series in round 1 then they offer big $$ for Duchene and Dzingle out of desperation to compete next year. THEN they do poorly next year and we get a top 10 pick. Would be great if Torts loses the room next year too, that can make things go bad in a hurry.

 

[Riceroni]

Would you trade Dal 2nd 2020 for Kapanen (sign for $4M x 5years) and Marleau (instantly retires and we keep the cap hit)?

 

[HSF]

callahan + foote

 

[Alex1234]

I see Columbus just missing the PO this year then Duchene signing in MTL or NYI and that team missing the PO next year lol

Its called the Duchene curse and its for real

Yep

 

[BonkTastic]

It's possible that this has already happened this year, though I doubt anyone in the Columbus management group will admit it yet.

 

[BonkTastic]

If we do, then I don't want him.

It would definitely say a lot (and not in a positive way) about a player that would come back here after all this.

Yeah, that's an interesting perspective that I don't alltogether disagree with.

Knowing the sens luck they'll somehow win the lottery if they barely miss
