My guess is Bob Mckenzie will have a pretty good update tomorrow on the pregame show
That Turris contract is a mistakeTurris + Tolvanen + (1st conditional if duchene signs )
Team can sell this trade as acknowledging they made a mistake by taking a core character guy away from the team, and bringing back a community hero.. Nashville won't need Turris after that or be able to fit him in the cap and it allows an easy salary in and out for both teams.
Tolvanen is an elite prospect, and can be that top 6 player of the future and be used to say hey we got him for Duchene in arguments.
You are taking a risk on that 1st, but it looks like Duchene will 100% love Nashville so its a safe bet.
PLEASE JUST BRING TURRIS BACK!!
Maybe not. I don't think players focus on the prospects/AHL guys when their season starts. That's more offseason pondering IMO.They would be signed if that were the case. They aren't going to have their opinions changed a week before the deadline.

I don’t get when people say this. He obviously isn’t meshing well in Nashville, but I fail to see how a 6x6 deal for a top 6C is a mistake.That Turris contract is a mistake
We are better off taking on others ppl problems with shorter term ie callahan

I don't think that's likely whatsoever, but you could certainly be rightMaybe not. I don't think players focus on the prospects/AHL guys when their season starts. That's more offseason pondering IMO.
Maybe that's why Stone took a 1 year deal, because he wanted to see how things were without Karlsson and Hoffman. See how the prospects are progressing (because really they make all the difference). See how the ownership/arena deal play out. Maybe Stone is waiting for Duchene's decision and maybe Duchene is weighing his options for his own reasons. We really wont be able to tell until they sign or are traded.
And really, our prospects have been pretty damn good this year. Batherson, Brown, Balcers, Formenton (pre-injury), Norris (pre-injury), Bernard-Docker, Wolanin, Chlapik, Daccord have all had relatively good/great seasons when healthy. I actually believe Pierre McGuire when he says the Sens will be good soon because of the young talent coming up.

It takes him to 35. Do not want especially in our teamI don’t get when people say this. He obviously isn’t meshing well in Nashville, but I fail to see how a 6x6 deal for a top 6C is a mistake.
No I get it mine wasn’t a shot either haha.Only meant that different people see different things, wasn't intended as any kind of potshot
So no matter how this turns out, Melnyk/Dorion have played this perfectly, right?I suspect by mid week we’ll either see them signed, or trade center will blow up with Sens rumours of potential offers. No matter how this all shakes out they would get he bestvtrade deal near or at the deadline.
Seems like a plausible explanation.Isn't February an important month for season ticket renewals? Would that not explain setting a deadline that pushes a huge negative PR story to the last possible moment?

Define "good"
If they do trade the tree guys would you want 1st in this years draft or the 2020 draft? It feels like the 2020 draft is very deep with higher skilled players than this year.
