This is true, but leafs fans are worse. So much worse.Habs fans make me lol Don’t go to the Trade Boards if you don’t want an infraction.

The offer is "fine", we probably don't need to shred the guy over it. The eventual trade will probably look closer to that then what some around here have been speculating. That being said, it will have more to do with Dorion/Melnyk than the value of Stone of Duchene being that "low".
@Thrasymachus
The view is that the Senators will be looking for a 1st + A prospect. Wether they get that or not is yet to be determined, but your original offer would be the low-end of what's expected while fans around here are still pining for the high end of a deal involving our two stars. Guys like Fabbro or Tolvanen would be much better centerpieces than anything the Isles could/would realistically offer. Your original offer is something Sens fans might "settle for" but 2 full weeks before the deadline we definitely aren't in the "settling" mood.

Exactly
Out of curiosity, why is EDM trading so much for Stone? they likely wont make the playoffs. Seems like a high price for a couple months of StoneYeah and maybe Edmonton can dump some other players on some other teams.. it doesn't have to be all us, but it wouldn't kill us to take on some players from them if the return was right.
Sekera (should play) + Manning (is playing) + Spooner (is buried) (9 million$ all expire by our window)
+ Pulj + Yamamoto + 1st 2019 or +Bouchard (RD) + 1st 2019

If/when Stone and Duchene leave there’s a case to be made for any of Pageau Smith or Borowiecki to be named captain, but I think it more likely they simply give the 3 of them A’s until Tkachuk/Chabot is ready.
What would you pay him?
I think 5 x 5/6 years is probably around what he will get and while I think he is worth it that total still makes me nervous...
I am really not so sure about that. There are a handfull of ridiculous leaf fans that are intollerable (Cantlosewithmatthews, Halla, Leaffever etc) but overall I think they are far more educated than the average habs fan.
I would be nervous about that as well. Not convinced he is worth that has always had decent lines to play with in Ottawa. Possibly a bit overvalued.What would you pay him?

Agree there, the average Leafs fan is much more reasonable than your average Habs fan.
Are Ceci and GM Pierre Dorion both from same hometown Orleans? Do you really think he is going to be able to part with him?

I hope so too, but I'm skeptical that we'll move Ceci because management has an unusual liking to him.
Maybe part of the reason Ceci hasn't been moved is to not tick off Mark Stone. This team has already seen enough "Wives Gone Wild", and Ceci and Stone's significant others are sisters, so maybe trading Ceci would piss off Stone's GF, etc, etc. This team does not need any more significant other drama.Are Ceci and GM Pierre Dorion both from same hometown Orleans?
