No a 2nd is way too much. This is where Nashville has the upper hand as their 2nd would be closer to a 3rd. They would also have more cap issues to work through

Nope. I absolutely believe he is going to market and the 8th year is a very limited factor for him.

Yep, I made sure that when I asked my prom date, I made sure that I was like, the 7th person to ask because what matters to her is what you say, and not that 6 other guys may have shown interest first.
That didnt go over well.

I think a conditional 2nd is okay. They get a 2020 2nd if he signs. They get a 2020 5th if he doesn’t. Something like that would be okay.

When Matthews gets to UFA I suspect you might think it is important.

Absolutely. It wasn't a flippant question. It just played into the whole who talks first, who talks last thing.
The Leafs talked to JT last but had the pj's in the bank.
I think it just might have been more than pj's or they would also now have Stamkos.

I'm surprised you had a prom date....or did she say no.
Lol, it was a joke. But I was also a nicer person in high school.
Maybe.
The prom analogy might work if the NHL hadn't changed the rules to allow a window for teams to court the upcoming UFAs.
By the end of June Duchene will know exactly what his options are. He'll know who's offering how much and for how long. He won't have to wory about being left without a good dance partner if he turns down an offer. I don't see the benefit of trading for his rights.
Maybe it’s because of used to not having any good fortune as a AZ fan but my icy cold take is I’d rather have Hayes on a long-term deal than Duchene. Blast away! I’m also posting this before coffee (trying to see if I can stop cold turkey on coffee).

The Jets are in some cap trouble. Assume they have to trade 1 of their top 4 wingers (Wheeler, Laine, Ehlers or Connor). Which player would you want Chayka to pursue and what would you be comfortable trading? Jets needs: 2nd line C, top 4 D, cost certainty, 2 way play.
Fire away.
Fire away.

I would want Ehlers or Connor, Laine too expensive and f*** Wheeler (sorry ducky.)
Will trade you Stepan with retention

I don't see the fit. However, a trade for Wheeler would make me fall off my chair laughing at how after all these years he got stuck playing for us after all. Frozen shithole karma.
Ha ha ha...no worries...meant to comment that Wheeler is not really an option (due to being captain, one of the key veterans, top scorer etc). Most likely - if a trade is made - it would be between Ehlers and Connor. I would trade Laine if I were the Jets GM but I am not a big fan of his play.I would want Ehlers or Connor, Laine too expensive and **** Wheeler (sorry ducky.)

I guess you’re probably suggesting something like Dvorak and 14 for Ehlers. We need to add talent to the roster without subtracting tawny from the roster. I would NOT be interested in hockey trades if I was Chayka. Only futures for roster players.
I love them all
Wheeler is quietly my favourite player in the league. This despite what happened here.
Laine is 40+ goals per season for x number of years.
Ehlers has tremendous skill and upside. He’d be our best forward.
Conner - he’s the guy I wouldn’t have been opposed to taking in 2015 if we weren’t drafting at 3. He was a steal where WINNIPEG grabbed him.
