Absolutely
He’s had a couple rough seasons
But you don’t score 20goals by accident,
and it can’t hurt to give him a shot on Jack or Casey’s wing

If Duclair doesn’t work out,
no big deal
It’s not like he’d cost us much

Exactly what I am thinking. Give him 1-2 years at ok pay and see what happens. Maybe like $1.5 or so per?

The Blackhawks have not tendered a qualifying offer to RFA Anthony Duclair yet. They have until 4 pm, but indications are they're going to let Duclair, Tomas Jurco and Michael Chaput become UFAs.

Anyone interested in Duclair?

I would give him a go at 1-2 year deal. He is fast, right? Played with Reinhart?

- Lilroot9



Yeah, absolutely

I'd take Duclair here in a heartbeat. His weird fall from glory either means that teams figured out how to beat him or he has been regulated to lines that don't take advantage of his traits.

He was on Grigorenko's wing in Quebec for 3 seasons under Roy when he potted over 100 goals in about 170 games. His last season with Grigorenko was a 99 pt effort.

Confirming MTL has expressed interest for D Slava Voynov. Delicate situation. Has a court date July 2 in California for a pardon. NHL will then take the steps to decide on reinstating him. Or not. #Habs #LAKings #KHL


Well that's just disgusting of them. F THE HABS!!! DRY.

DO you think LA would trade Quick?

Would you take him if they held 900K in celery?

Kings sign Kovalchuk just to sell their franchise and cup winning goalie for the like of Campbell and Budaj????

I'm not following. They want to win.. not rebuild.

I don’t think Cal Petersen is “ready” yet,
and they don’t have anyone else who can be their starter

I doubt they’d move him

They have so little cap space. I think less than $3MM

They need to move someone, IMO.

They have Campbell and Petersen. Not sure if either are ready for full time.

Between LA and SJ both teams are gearing up this year for their last shot before they go into the rebuild darkness.

LA has 16MM in cap space next year and need to resign Doughty, Kempe, Iafallo, Brickley.

Only if they plan on bringing someone else in
They’ve got 12 forwards, 6 defensemen & 2 goalies under contract

They’re kinda tight,
but the 3mil leaves them just enough room for 2 extra skaters & some call ups

Still can't believe they took Phaneuf. At least they were able to deal Gaborik in that deal.

i'm happy Brown had a good year last year to take some heat off of him but man Brown/Carter contracts are gonna look not great in a year or two.

Rumor is they were trying to land Pacioretty but couldn't get an extension done in time because Patches switched agents.

Seems like a well timed calculated moved on Paciorettys part.

Yeah, i think they’re trying to get 1 or 2 more decent runs at it before they get old & have to go full rebuild
Elliotte Friedman said he expects Doughty to re-sign there,
but he’d be smart to move on imo
If the Leafs don’t get Tavares,
I could see them go after Doughty
They might even try if they do get JT

Friedman was talking about it in the most recent one

Weird...
i remember saying something pretty damn similar

Where’s the know-it-all’s at who said the “Sabres wouldn’t do that”

Coming from you, this is pure (frank)ing gold. Unbelievable.
