Laddy Daddy cannot be stopped. This is what a two time Cup winning player looks like.

Easy Ses, his PO numbers suck. Almost as bad as the first half of this year

I know you are right. I'm not counting on the 5th cup this year that is for sure. I saw what you did with the BV.

Great movie. I think I'll just post movies since my musical taste is not appreciated.

Trade deadline 10 days away. Told #isles are serious players for Duchene. Ball in Avs court.

If Isles acquire Duchene, it makes Nelson expandable in another possible trade bc 2C will be locked w/Duchene and Barzal knocking next year as 3C .....

The question is what are we giving up from an already sketchy defense core? Everyone is so quick to give up Nelson the guy has 5 less points then duchene with a better + - by 15 al9ng with Hamonic a first and possibly Barzal. Sorry that to me is completely nuts it's not a viable addition by subtraction model. Going on the possibility that duchene will kick arse is a high risk move imo. I'm all for getting duchene but I'm not willing to give that up.

Hamonic + pick is all i'll give up, let another team overpay then give $7-8m per after to him, way to much for a player who's not even top 10 C in league

#1 in faceoff % but I too question the price, his whole team is down, but the thought of him and JT on a powerplay together or starting a 3 on 3 ot, just throwing it out there, but I question the price also.

He'd be a great addition but not for the price, team is gonna pay JT and next Duchene (if here) that's at least $16-18m per for 2 players plus giving up pieces, thanks but NO thanks....

Like i mentioned before he's not even top 10 C in league

I don't think Barzal is going anywhere. I fear that Pulock may be. It's a shame Bean, McAvoy, or Fabbro didn't fall to us in the draft last year or else we could have afforded to part with a really good defensive prospect.

I suspect Snow is probably trying to sell Sakic on someone like Mitch Vande Sompel or Parker Wotherspoon, who are on a great development trajectory but aren't as well known as a first rounder like Pulock.

Giving up Nelson plus a 1st and a top d man is nuts. Giving away more points then you're adding

I would not give up Barzal or Pulock. Duchene is a nice player, but he's risky since he needs to be signed in two years. Garth must really feel under pressure for the team to go on a run

They can sign him not worried about that but how much of an upgrade is he over Nelson? Enough to part with what Colorado wants? I know we want a 1 2 punch but he's not Stamkos or hall, it will be another example of garth overpaying and we know Colorado is waiting for some desperate idiot gm.

I don't know how to feel, honestly. Yeah, I want Duchene pretty bad but I'm not so sure I'm ready to trade away the pieces necessary to get him. The Avs really don't have to move him, so I highly, highly doubt they are going to sit back and take anything less than a large haul for him. That's the big problem here, is that there is no real pressure to move the guy.

I'm all for not giving up a ton for him, but he is a large upgrade over Brock Nelson.

I'm not a big fan of Nelson and I have not seen much of Duchene. Duchene seemed invisible against the Isles. I'm just not giving up a lot for Duchene. Strome seems to be going good now and Barzal might be on the team next year. I rather try to bring in a nice two way forward for the top 6.

It's not an easy call. No way of knowing if Duchene is going to like NY and if he fits in and if you give up a huge haul you are franked if he walks. Duchene should make a fine 2C, but the Isles still have a lack of grit and overall team defense even with Duchene.
