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

[Hellraising Senator]

Can some explain to me why fiala is so highly regarded. He never seems that great when I watch Nashville games. Maybe I just miss the good games and get him on bad days?

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

1st, Necas, Faulk for a signed Duchene

Take out Faulk and I'd still do it happily. Hell, take out the 1st and I'd consider it. Necas would be by far the best piece offered, I suspect.

Anytime now on this Duchene transaction. What are the chances of OTT getting 7 assets back?

 

[lilfedor]

OTT just recalled two forwards from the minors.

Come on Columbus!!!

Duchene and Cici fits our needs!

Make it happen!!

 

[BatVader]

Duchene to Nashville incoming...

 

[MAHJ71]

Duchene to Nashville incoming...

Booooooo!

 

[De Montreal]

Jarnkrok for Duchene

 

[BatVader]

Booooooo!

Dorion’s past trades prove he will easily be able to get 7 assets for Duchene.......





............6 of whom will never play in a league higher than the ECHL.

Ceci fits your needs? Have you ever seen him play?!

He's having a down year but is still pacing for around 40+ points. He can be a solid 50 point guy and he's still on an ELC.

Arvidsson is absent from morning skate & Laviolette declined to comment on it.

Rumors incoming in 3..2..

Hahaha, if there's one player on the Preds I would have guaranteed is not being traded, it's Arvy.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Ughhhhhh

Don't tempt us like this. Arvidsson would be a dream.

Lol oh I know. But reading Twitter is cracking me up at the amount of people thinking he’s being traded.

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Jarnkrok for Duchene

Light.

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Not sure many that make comments actually have. HF whipping post.

 

[Ice and Whiskey]

Ughhhhhh

If the preds traded Arvidsson Nashville would riot...

 

[Deku]

1st, Necas, Faulk for a signed Duchene

I would do that, then flip Faulk somewhere for younger assets

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Oh I know. Not happening. I havent even hoped for Forsberg, Arvidsson or Ellis because it is beyond the realm of possibility

I'm barely even setting my sights on Jarnkrok, Sissons or Fiala lol

 

[Byrddog]

Arviddson and Forsberg are the only two finishers the Preds have it would be an unwise move to trade him.

 

[lilfedor]

Recently just lost a defenseman in torts language “quite a bit of time” - that’s his way of saying “rest of the regular season”

If you’ve ever seen Dean Kukan play hockey you’d understand how Cici is an upgrade.

Ellis has been quite the whipping boy this year. He may be more expendable than you think depending on how the playoffs play out.

Interesting. I suspect him being cost controlled + being an RD would be very enticing to us although I'm not sure if we could pay the price, especially if you guys are looking for NHLers in return. Theres a very good chance that the top 2 scoring fwds on our roster at the end of the year are Chris Tierney and Bobby Ryan and our 2nd highest scoring DMan will almost certainly be Cody Ceci

What are your guys needs? I know the prospect pool isnt top of the line but also you guys are somewhat in win now mode (while also being mindful of Josi being on an expiring deal). How has Hamhuis been? Okay as a 3rd pair DMan?

Honestly I'm not sure what our needs would be going forward if we move Subban/Ellis. I would think an NHL ready prospect would have to be involved though. I think a lot depends on how Poile feels about Fabbro and if Subban/Ellis can rebound.

Hamhuis started off really well, but I think his age is catching up to him lately.
