Awesome signing. Now he won't be getting the big raise until stastny is off the books.

... And Duchene will/should be workin' his a$$ off to get that big raise in a couple years!

Great signing by the Avs.

I hope he does well, I really like this kid, rooting for him

Good on Colorado, Duschene has way too much talent and so what if he had one bad season it happens to everyone,the goal now is for him to bounce back to his usual 60-70 point form.

Thats my favourite part of the deal, you could basically just move the money around with their combined deals now in 2 years and pay each more accurately.

This is a smart signing by Sherman

Thank god we finally got some depth at center

they are all small, weird picking today, not overally impressed. Maybe they are high skill but just seem like the same type of forward drafted multiple times

Other teams suck at drafting at center, maybe we picked them so we have prospects to move later.

All Canadian Born Draft too, They really had a theme today

Heard - Ontario
Clarke - Ontario
Blandisi - Ontario
Bourke - Alberta
Smith - Alberta

Great move by Sherman here! Duchene has the talent but still have a lot to prove if he wants the big payday in 2 years. That gives the AVS even more cap than expected.

Now Leaf fans can finally stop talking about Dushesne in a Leafs sweater.....

Yeah that would work if we actually moved any of them.. How many times have we moved good prospects? Almost never..

Every time I suggest it people say "Wait until our kids develop" they can't exactly showcase their talent in the NHL and gain value if they never get a fN chance.

We need wingers and we draft nothing but centers.. Notice how what, two wingers on our roster were drafted by us? I don't believe it's always best to hope your going to be able to convert a center to wing either..

It would be nice to have some NATURAL wingers that didn't look like career AHLers.

Great..
