Cash or Czech Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 shows how bad of a job Sakic has done... you have a legit #1 C and he can only get 3 teams to scout from the East... OUCH! Agreed, Sakic has made a mess of this. He probably could've gotten a decent package from either the Blue Jackets or the Islanders, both heavily rumored to be interested in Duchene over the summer. Now, neither team is scouting the Avs. Not sure if they've given up on recruiting him or if they've already scouted him enough to not waste assets.

Future Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Not sure if they've given up on recruiting him or if they've already scouted him enough to not waste assets. At this point, I don't think anybody needs to be scouting Duchene. Everyone knows who he is and what kind of player he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torontonyr Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hearing that we're sniffing around on this one, but aren't truly seeking him out unless a more than fair deal can be struck. I think we're all in on Tavares and this season is a transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 If the Rangers are scouting the AVs, its probably for someone like Soderberg who can be had for practically nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're all in on Tavares and this season is a transition. Why would Tavares leave a team with no other pieces to come to MSG and play with a team with no other pieces? Seems like a sideways move. He should go to Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should go to Toronto. Toronto won't be able to afford him without getting rid of all their other pieces lol. Matthews, Nylander and Marner are all going to get massive extensions in the next year or two. If I had to guess, we're talking about $25 million between the three of them with Matthews getting at least $10m. But they're better going with the three of them than then are giving ~$20m to just Tavares and Matthews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 This, plus, we have more pieces than you'd give this team credit for. Than I would? There was already a long thread where I argued that we have plenty of pieces to go with JT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 or just lose Nash and call it a day? Can't just lose Nash and call it a day. Sure, the $7.8M will help, but Miller, Hayes, Skjei and to a much lesser extent Vesey are up for new contracts next season. Tavares will get a contract north of the $7.8M Nash was making. Maybe the salary cap rises to offset that, but the team still has to find other money for raises. And of course, the following season MZA and McDonagh are both up.

Phil Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 :tweet: @DarrenDreger: It's believed Ott/Col/Nash were in discussions on 3 way trade involving Matt Duchene going to Sens. Talks have ended. No deal. :tweet: @FriedgeHNIC: Word on three-way: Duchene to OTT, Turris to NASH and not exactly sure on COL. Ekholm’s name came up, but no certainty he was in final deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddynyc Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The AVs have been better than expected do you think he still wants out ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The AVs have been better than expected do you think he still wants out ? Yes. Lack of success isn't a main reason. He's sick of the organization and their management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
