Eklund: Penguins Target Matt Duchene. JVR> Fowler Gains Momentum. Bonino

Pens need a center, no doubt

The penguins need more glue to keep this together... Callahan?

Duchene is not being moved for anything less than a young top four defenseman plus picks or prospects. A pending UFA dman in his 30s and prospects will not get it done.

By far the worst made up trade proposal yet.

Noooooooo. . not JVR for fowler again. Please say it ain't so.

Talk about the rich getting richer.. I wanna doubt this rumor as rubbish and disregard it. However, I did that with the Kessel rumor and that happened. Its amazing how stacked of a roster they have and yet still will have space after merely letting go of one of their two starting goalies. I mean even Chicago must be completely at a loss on how the star players aren't eating up the whole cap number themselves like Kane and Toews. As a Flyers fan this hurts to say but Kudos Jim Rutherford

I am confused about why, in a JVR for Fowler trade, which the Leafs lose by miles, the Leafs would be the team adding extra picks and prospects.

This is a very bad trade for the Leafs.

JVR doesn't get you Fowler even if you add their top prospect

Go on about this please
What is the value of Fowler?

I dont think JVR, top prospect and a 1st get you Fowler.. Defense market is an expensive place to shop these days

How about Drouin for fowler and a pick?

Pens just proved you don't need a big name d man to win a Cup. If the asking price for Fowler is higher than the package above then hard (frank)ing pass.

Anaheim isn't going to be the one adding a pick

Tampa is

Not to mention Bowman gives an NMC AND great money to anything that moves.

How about Drouin for fowler and a pick?

youre trading him for Barrie, its already done. Fatmarsh5 Confirmed

Holy (frank)...that package would get you Lindholm. Be serious.

He's kind if a 20 goal, 50 point guy. That's nice, but isn't going to get that type of haul with just 2 years on his deal. Getting a young 2nd pair defenseman would be plenty.

Why don't the Pens just get everyone. Just like the Warriors and Cavs. This is a joke. Keep throwing darts blindfolded please

For a year of JVR? Come on now. Eklund's rumors are sometimes ridiculous, but the value here is pretty spot on.

Seriously that package wouldn't even get you close to Lindholm

Would MAATTA and package for Duchene work?

Why in the name of God would the Devils trade for Bonino? He's a good player, but fills no needs on a team full of them.
