D-Day? What Could Happen if Duchene Moves On... Fri's Buzzcast

TEN DAYS. That's it folks. Ten days until what promises to be one of the craziest trade deadlines we've seen in the salary cap era.

According to several sources this is the day the Sens are expecting some clarity from Matt Duchene. Whether or not that means his decision will become public is less certain, as it behooves some involved to let that decision be private...Or does it?

On the one hand, it is apparent that there may be some benefits to putting Duchene on the market openly and getting a bidding war going. However, the Senators then would have a situation where teams know they have to move him. So it gets complicated. If there weren't so many available top six forwards I would say put the news out there, but with all the other options you might want everything to be a little more unknown than known.

But we could get another clue.

I am told that should Duchenne say "no to the extension," Ryan Dzingel is likely to be signed quickly. There are already some out there saying a deal with Ryan could be close to completion. Of course Ottawa would love to sign both Matt and Ryan. Deals which could eventually lead to Mark Stone deciding to stay.

Either way, we are ten days from the deadline...

And it's a Friday which always means all hell has the potential to break loose.

It is for all these reasons and more we are doing early podcast this morning at 10 AM to keep open the rest of the day for serious digging, more blogs updates, and a full rumor chart update.

So stay near your internet connected device of choice...its going to be a bumpy landing...
