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

[Northern Avs Fan]

Dutchy is likely out of our price range, but he’d be an ideal fit, as there’s a hole at wing in the top-6.

 

[Muffin]

So no one wanted him at 50%?

 

[RoyIsALegend]

We couldn't have gotten Duchene for free at 50%? Is it cheaper for Nashville to buy him out?

Or, you know, maybe Joe Sakic wouldn’t touch Duchene retained at 100%.

 

[MarchessaultCantRead]

Let’s bring Dutchy home fellas!

They may have wanted to keep that last retention slot.

Not having one would significantly hurt what they might want to do over the next couple years. Especially if they're tanking which I have to believe that's the plan considering all the dead cap.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

A guy who trashes his own coaches and sets bad examples for young players.

Celebrates personal accomplishments over team failures or successes(ask Patrick Roy what he thinks of Matt Duchene).

Has no understanding of what it means to dig deep and persevere.

Entitled, self-inflated ego. Never won shit and thinks he knows best. Accepts failure and losing.

God, he’s the exact type of personality winners stay away from. Every organization he’s been with so far has experienced his bullshit.

Keep this loser far, far away.

He's only allowed to come back if we immediately trade him to Ottawa again.

 

[Miri]

Get them both. Reunite the ROR-duchene line and put nuke there.

Whatever bad blood has been there, i believe in second chances. Sign both NAOW!

 

[dahrougem2]

Yeah, you've gotta believe Sakic knows Duchene well and won't bring him

 

[The Abusement Park]

Yamamoto should not be an option. The dude could only muster a 40pt pace playing with McDrai…And he certainly isn’t adding anything else away from the puck.

 

[Muffin]

I feel like Duchene has matured a lot as a player and person. We can do a lot worse than Duchene.

Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Johansen - Duchene - Nichushkin
Colton - O'Reilly - O'Connor
Cogliano - Stastny - Meyers

Man, I didn't think anyone could top what Guerin did to Minnesota, but... Damn.

In fairness, this happened eons ago. Things change and so do people. I'm quite certain that Dutchy isn't the same duchebag he was when he left 5ish years ago.

Duchene is certainly the best player in this free agent class now and he's going to cash in. He's getting ~15m of his ~20m left and is going to probably find a team willing to pay him 20m for 4 seasons. Probably the best thing possible for him financially just happened.

Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Johansen - Duchene - Nichushkin
Colton - O'Reilly - O'Connor
Cogliano - Stastny - Meyers

I would take Riku Hahl over Stastny. Better 4C fit, IMO.

 

[amigo]

 

[Ceremony]

I can already hear Roach on the PA elongating that first syllable.

 

[dahrougem2]

Where the f*** is Daniel Winnik?

 

[jaisen73]

Fun idea: Duchene signs a 1 year "win now" at a low price for a shot at a Cup and plays the market next summer with an expected bump in the cap.

(This is not likely but we're all just having fun here)

Dutchy is likely out of our price range, but he’d be an ideal fit, as there’s a hole at wing in the top-6.

He's getting paid by another team and will soon be at the stage of chasing a cup. A cheap show me deal for the place his heart has been all along imo.

 

[PAZ]

As long as Mack and Landy are okay with Duchene coming back, it should at least be considered.

I don’t think we can afford him, but on a cheap deal if he wants to chase the cup, I’m all for it.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Back to the real world, you'd have to think that this is the year that the Avs finally get their man Kulikov

 

[ABasin]

Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Johansen - Duchene - Nichushkin

Cogliano - Stastny - Meyers

Are Duchene, O'Reilly, and Stastny all signing for $2M?

 

[The Pwnerer]

If Duchene is willing to come back for a 1 year deal for minimum money (think <2.5 AAV). That is more then enough to show me that he's here to win and I would welcome him back with open arms. No brainer at that point. Cmac should be calling Ryjo and telling him to convince Duchene to come here for cheap.

The most important question here is does Denver have a big country music scene?
