TSN: Coyotes targeting Duchene, potential capital infusion with new ownership?

[Jakey53]

^ I'm going to guess that Richard Panik doesn't get 4.88 million.

Sure he will, he's a PP dynamo.

 

[Jakey53]

Is it wrong that I'd prefer to add Hayes over Duchene? Could be too many years of playing against big C's who made my life miserable.

No, not really. The way it sounds, Hayes could have been Chayka's first choice, but there is no comparison in player in my eyes. Duchene is a lower tier 1C, something we have not had in years, but man is he going to get paid.

 

[Mosby]

Columbus owes Ottawa their 2020 first rounder if they re-sign Duchene. That could be a damn good pick considering they're losing Bobrovsky and Panarin this year. Might be better to just walk away and hang on to that pick.

Columbus also has just 2 picks in this year's draft -- a third rounder and a seventh rounder. Maybe it'd be better for us if we threw them a conditional pick(s) to get in Duchene's ear early to not only avoid a bidding war but also sell him on Arizona. Do the same thing we did with Goligoski. Fly him in, have a Duchene #95 Coyotes jersey ready to go, show him around, show Mrs. Duchene houses, etc.

Depends on how the final numbers shakeout, but I think there is an easy argument to form for that. Either would be a great add though.

He’s not signing anywhere for less than 10m per. And he’s getting max term of 7yrs.

You may be correct and if that's the case, we need not worrry about Duschene, unless there is new ownership.
Edit: sorry for overstating the obvious

No question about that.

#95? No, no. You gotta let him have #9.

We’re the Arizona team now. What have the Hulls done for the team here in Arizona? If that number is currency, we need to use it. We can ship the Hull banner back to Winnipeg. Or keep it “honored”. Makes no difference to me. It’s been nearly a quarter century since the move and Winnipeg has their own team now.

Hell, call Brett Hull and pay HIM to come out and hand Duchene the #9 jersey. He’ll do it. It’s Brett Hull. Just pay him.

 

[TheLegend]

Am i crazy for totally wanting this? Am i crazier for getting my hopes up?


This "imminent" ownership change hasn't seemed so imminent.

It’s an imminent front.

(and yes I know the song is spelled different)

The numbers crunched by Evolving Wild say he deserves 6 x $7.0 so a 7 x $10.0 contract would be a big over payment. I don't think Chayka would go that far. He's been really good with handing out contracts.

Keller?

 

[Mosby]

Realistically how many teams can offer 10 to Duchene?

 

[Mosby]

Saw a good point on the main board that maybe Duchene takes less than 7 years so he can get another contract after. A six-year deal would take him to age 34 so he can get another multi-year deal afterward and not be victimized by the 35+ rule.

Keller?

Bahahaha. Not my fault. I’m blaming the Norovirus that hit my one year old five days ago, my four year old four days ago, my wife three days ago and me two days ago. I haven’t slept in four days. This entire week has been like a fever dream.

The real dick kicker? I had the whole week off for “vacation”, anyhow. We spent thousands of dollars on travel and lodging for the entire family to spend the week alternating between kneeling in front of or sitting on the pot, in absolute misery. Hahaha.

Evolving Wild’s number have some serious problems then. Haha. There is a zero percent chance Matt Duchene signs for less than Jeff Skinner. Sometimes we all have to back away from the spreadsheets and let our eyes readjust.

Man thats rough. Sorry to hear that man!

Advice when your little one is here, AVOID THE AIRPORT! Haha. Next time you’re flying and you hear paranoid parents screaming at their children not to touch anything and are compulsively hand sanitizing every inch of them-remember me.

Will do for sure! I meet my lil man next month so maybe if we're lucky, I'll buy him a Duchene jersey

Buying my daughter a coyotes Jersey was the best thing I’ve ever done. I get a billion compliments every time we go to the games haha

And OEL and Duchene and you have a PowerPlay. Even despite John MacLean I would guess.

 

[Mosby]

Duchene is really good in front of the net on the PP as well.

 

[BUX7PHX]

No different than when we were looking at JVR. It is one thing to say that there is a specific player who is #1 on your list. I just hope that is a reciprocal feeling from the player.

I'm not convinced enough that we have the ability to pull Duchene off, even if a capital investment is on its way. I just think we may be better off with targeting a cheaper player in Nyquist, Lee, Ferland and Connolly. I don't think we are that terribly poor off regarding some of our C depth. Obviously, picking up Duchene allows us to move other pieces around, but I only see this as the information that Duchene is our top target and nothing further than that.

 

[Mosby]

What is the maximum you would give up for Duchene’s rights? A conditional second?

I mean, if he’s our primary target, let’s go all out.

I don’t see a scenario where he doesn’t make it to July 1st. He’s going to JT PJ this summer. We are going to see this from the top couple of guys every summer now. The JT hype was a goldmine for the league and the players. Agents and owners will both be pushing for it.

 

[AZviaNJ]

We're officially in.... agents feed (mis?)information to national sports writers in hopes of driving maximum value for clients.... season.

Duchene/Coyotes likely fit this narrative.
