Bowey, Orlov, 1st would maybe get the Av's listening

Apparently the asking price went up. Avs want 3-4 pieces depending on what is offered. But you're right, I am sure they are listening to that for sure.

I can see caps making a trade for Dan Hamhuis for a 3rd.

Jim Nill would hang up immediately. Not happening.

Part of the reason the Pens could afford Kessel was Toronto eating some salary.

I think it's pretty clear that the Avalanche are looking for young top-4 defenseman in return for Duchene. I don't think they care about Vrana and a Russian goalie who is signed for a few more years.

My mans Fatmarsh gon' blow a gasket on this one

A top-6 prospect and one of the best goaltender prospects outside NA? He's 2nd in the KHL (behind another rookie) in save %.

Not saying they are worth Duchene, but you're talking like Vrana and Samsonov aren't blue chippers.

The big issue is cap space. A lot of raises next year are going to eat what's coming off the books.

If they're determined to move Duchene, you'd think the offseason would be a better time to do it.

wrong move in my opinion. big time acquisitions typically become role players. they should trade for more depth

The Caps just don't have the pieces to make this move imo. Secondly, I do not believe they are interested in making such a move. The Caps have already stated publicly Vrana will be on the NHL roster come playoff time and Samsonov very well may be their goalie of the future. I just can't see such a move.

was never willing to spend money on d which cost him his job and caused his understudy to sign Niskanen and Orpik as his 1st 2 decisions. Caps only pressing need is bottom pairing d, if somebody gets hurt and Chorney has to play in playoffs we're screwed

Many Caps fans wanted a Kuznetsov for Duschsne swap a month ago. Thankfully Caps didnt listen. Colorado would have jumped all over it

Caps best offer would be MarJo,Bowie and a 1st. Legit 2nd line center top D prospect and pick and lines up salary wise. Im sure teams can beat this offer
