Friedman: Duchene Mega-Thread Pt. 1 - Ottawa fielding offers, NSH & CBJ interested; Duchene sitting

[GoldOnGold]

Duchene has WAY more raw skill than Karlsson. He can create offence on his own

I agree, but I was trying to point out that guys never repeat 20%+ shooting seasons. Another example is T. J. Oshie's 30 goal season on the Caps.

 

[Habs10025]

No... I can see your point.
His kid was just born so taking 2 yrs to get his cup before he has to “settle” in one spot for family reasons makes sense.


You have that backwards...

Sure.

 

[HSF]

I agree Duchene is good, I just think he's having a career year.

well ya he is having a career year anyone can see that

you said he is overrated and now you are saying its just his shooting percentage but i think people already know he is going to hit 40 goals every year. He should have high point totals though

 

[SensFactor]

Any news on Stone? Latest?

 

[GoldOnGold]

Why would he hit 40 goals every year? He's had over 30 precisely once in his entire career

 

[Habs10025]

I would love to see Drouin - Duchesne - Domi (triple D)

Habs could Offer : Petry - Shaw - Poehling - 2rd

Ottawa : Duchesne (signed 6 years at 9mil) - 4 rd

Montreal aren't offering anything for him if he wants 9 mil per.

 

[SensFactor]

Montreal aren't offering anything for him if he wants 9 mil per.

Some poor team is going to give Duchene 9. 25 x 7 years.

 

[GeauxPreds1]

Some team might but they shouldn't.

 

[HSF]

i meant people know he won't hit 40 goals every year90+ points

I dont believe thinking he will be close to a ppg center is overrated though

That list is also not an end-all-be-all. As an example, number 9 on that list is Sorokin who evidently doesn't have a lot of trade value. Keep that in mind. Blue Chippers will be defined by the organization who owns them.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Some poor team is going to give Duchene 9. 25 x 7 years.

Yep, and they’re going to regret it.

 

[Soundgarden]

Luckily Poile knows how to give out a good contract.

 

[Duke Silver]

Yep, and they’re going to regret it.

I feel this way about Skinner, too.

It gives you an idea of who the blue chip prospects are around the league. Sorokin is a terrible example of value. Prospect goalies can't be compared in value to prospect skaters. Goalies live on their own little planet with regard to value; even at the NHL level.

Tolvanen is a blue chip prospect any way you look at it. There isn't an argument against it. That said, he is still a developing prospect. There are no guarantees with him.

 

[RickP]

Fiala + Tolvanen + a 1st sounds way too expensive, unless the Sens add something, like Stone, or another roster player.

The Sens have about 5 days to trade Duchene, or else they get nothing. So Duchene's value doesn't matter at this point, the Sens need to accept the best offer they can get.

Realistically, what teams could afford to give more than a 1st and a top prospect for Duchene right now, in addition to extending him for about 8x$8M?
