Well first, IMO, at the draft you have 30 teams with pieces available + Free agents a week after. Your assets aren't worth as much.

It's supply and demand. At the tdl, only a handful of teams are true buyers, and a handful are true sellers.
Duchenes value is as high as it'll get in the next 17hours.

At the draft, there's no demand. Yeah they might trade Duchene for Kane with a couple pieces + draft picks, but that's a lateral move.

They are tanking. They are rebuilding. They need under 20yo prospects and draft picks in 2017, 2018, 2019.

Nothing else.

And who I would trade,

Sergachev, 1st in 2018, 2nd in 2017, and Danault
If they want another pick, Id do a 4th in 2018

And while we speculate, they still cant put a freaking puck in the net!

Avs will wan't some sort of a sure thing. Sens traded spezza for 3 prospects. They are about to go 0/3. You cant trade a top player like duchene and only receive picks and prospects. It looks brutal when they don't pan out.

2018 1st is pretty tempting though. They talk about how deep that draft is going to be already

Replace Sergachev with Juulsen and add Beaulieu

It could be. But if the habs have duchene that pick will be somewhere in the 23-30 range. All likely hood that player turns into a 2nd or 3rd liner.

It could be without Duchene

A few months and it was over. Whatever.

It could be without Duchene

It could be but it's obvious this team needs another weapon up front

agreed. I just mean the avs would be getting a late first rd pick in 2018 if that deal were to happen. Stats have shown its like throwing darts at that point.

It could be without Duchene

With the Habs, it could be anything between a 1st or 31st with or without Duchene...

Ha, 31st....

I dont care what Sakic asks...do it....they could not even score one measly goal

they get cap space...that's the point of this deal

that's a point I wasn't expecting

Against the 3rd best defensive team in the league...

But they allowed 0 against the 5th best offensive team in the league.

Of course they could be lot better. Arguing whether its Duchene or Galchenyuk is sideways, keep Galchenyuk and use the same assets to acquire someone that will play with him.

...

goal?
