Duchene

On his way out of ottawa...will stone follow?

[GypsieDeathBringer]

Ottawa is the Pittsburgh Pirates of the NHL.  Owner cries poor mouth and just sheds talented players instead of signing them and creating a competitive team.  If I were either Duchene or Stone there is no reason to sign.  They are going to get more money and be on a better team.  That is win win.

And you have to live in Ottawa....

Kanata actually....

Plus giving avs their first round pick this year in Duchenne deal was icing on the cake

Yeah. Any deal they do for Duchene will get compared to their original.

And given how bad Ottawa is this year and that pick position, whatever they get isn't going to live up to the original deal so they'll get roasted on social media (and rightly so).

Turris, 1st, 3rd, Bowers ... and the Hamburgaler (mostly for a cap dump)

Not sure they'll come close to that with Duchene now on an expiring contract. Maybe they can hope for a 1st (late 1st from someone like WPG) and a prospect.

gone to Columbus

[izaman3]

They got a pretty good deal out of Columbus considering everyone thought they'd get way less.

I'd say its much better than this summer when Rob traded for the 1st overall pick to draft his favorite Minnesota Wild player...

Really, people thought they'd get less than this? Not sure about the return as a whole...


Either way....

Kyle Turris, 2019 Round 1 Pick (top-10 or better), 2019 Round 3 Pick, Shane Bowers (former 1st Rounder), Andrew Hammond
for
Matt Duchene
(ie. 2019 Round 1 Pick (maybe 15th-20th, or worse), Middle of the pack Swedish prospect, boom or bust Russian prospect)
**Left out the conditional 1st as I see zero chance Duchene signs in CBJ...


That looks terrible on paper as a Senators fan...!

[janesvilleaces]

It is a typical senators trade.

Can't wait to see what they get for stone

Kanata actually....

Does Ottawa have a reputation as a bad place to live?

I've only been there once for a couple of days, but it seemed nice.
