Rumor: 2023-2024 Trade Rumors and Free Agency: Off-season is in full swing

[The Moops]

Ok well, I for one don’t think it’s gonna help Dallas. I think there is an issue with Duchene and chemistry or locker room or whatever it is, but if a team like Ottawa who’s building a winning team and ready to take that next step, gets rid of Duchene, or even Nashville who buys him out then signs ROR, it just doesn’t add up. Obviously there is something with Duchene that teams don’t want to keep him

I think in a vacuum he's worth $3M. I'm not sold on him being a locker room cancer, but he does force his way off of teams. And unfortunately for him the team he worked so hard to get to had a management switch up and now he's out. Same as RyJo. This is more of Trotz trying to shape the team like he wants up front

Dallas is the team to beat in the West. The only flaw is the D is a bit weak compared to the Avs

I can’t say he’s locker room cancer because I don’t know that, but there is something there

So maybe more like locker room herpes?

He's a low risk, first line player making 3rd line money.

Definitely would not classify Matt Duchene as a 1st line player at this stage of his career.

Probably one of the best 2nd line Cs in the league

Duchene is not a center anymore. Hasn't been for like 5 years or more probably.

 

[UncleRisto]

Is hepatitis an option?

Yeah, bottom left.

 

[Balthazar]

Easily a first line winger

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

I wouldn’t take Duchene for free. He’s bad luck, and I’m not just saying that, I really believe he’s bad luck everywhere he goes

Can confirm. I heard when he was with the Avs he went to a King Soopers and used the self checkout line and broke the checkout and had to ask for assistance from one of the apathetic spotty 16 year olds working that day.

The rest of the league agrees given he signed for 3M on a 1 year deal.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Nice, one of my fantasy league surprise pickups last year

 

[dahrougem2]

Easily a first line winger

Matt Duchene playing on your 1st line means your forwards aren't very good.

As opposed to Jonathan Drouin?

I believe it

Doesn't that happen all the time? Nothing untoward, unless he started using the checkout for lunges or sat on it playing country guitar

 

[dahrougem2]

As opposed to Jonathan Drouin?

Did I say anything about Jonathan Drouin?

 

[LOFIN]

You put Duchene next to Hintz and Robetson and I'm pretty sure that's going to work out just fine for Dallas.

 

[the_fan]

Did I say anything about Jonathan Drouin?

We will when Drouin out scores Duchene and Dallas falls victim to Duchene’s bad luck curse

 

[BobRossColton]

I want Necas still, ha. Imagine a 3rd line of Wood-Colton-Necas.

 

[chet1926]

I think Dallas and Vegas are the top contenders in the West. The Avs, Edmonton and LA are that 2nd tier.

The 2nd tier teams are going to need roster additions to have a legit shot at beating those top 2.

 

[Metallo]

If Drouin outscores Duchene, then Sakic will deserve a 2nd cringy shrine, now with a wax statue of himself in business suit at a fancy desk in a corner of CMac's office.

Bro, I’m pretty sure you’ve made a trade offer and have wanted every forward in the league. I do love the hustle tho tbh

I've always wanted Necas though, but yes I've got quite the wishlist on forwards.
