I'm honestly surprised it didn't happen yesterday. I do believe Sakic is evaluating his trade options and will make his decision before not long. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I think Vegas might have a shot...
They have more than enough trade bait and Douch can be their numero uno and a fresh start...not to mention, not very far to travel. It's a bit of a ******** drive from Denver to Vegas because you have to go "around" -> up to Cheyenne, across to Salt Lake and down.
Are teams willing to beat the last offer turned down by the Isles or do you all feel his value has decreased since then and who would the Rangers/Canadiennes give up in return?
I think Vegas might have a shot...
I am not. Montreal simply does not make much sense.
CBJ, CAR, NSH and even the Islanders can easily beat any offer if they just want to do so.
So even if you were correct that Bergevin submitted his final bid, it makes sense that nothing has happened at all.
Because Montreal always was and IMO still is very much a longshot.
You don't have the young D Sakic probably still wants and even if he is finally ready to come off that ask, almost all other interested teams can easily outbid you when it comes to a futures heavy deal...
Just out of curiosity, what do you think Montreal would offer at this point?
I wasn't told what pieces were offered, but if I were to *guess*, I would have to say it would likely either revolve around Galchenyuk or Mete, though my guess is as good as any of yours.
Personally, I wouldn't add more to a Galchenyuk for Duchene swap. As for Mete, I'm very, very high on him - he had a breakout year in the OHL (IMO he was a top 10 defenseman in the OHL last season) and is a very smooth skater. I honestly do not want to lose Mete, as he's our only PMD prospect with a high ceiling. Honestly, I'd rather Montreal stay out of this, it seems like a trade that could potentially burn us.
Is it possible for Sakic to be playing two trade options? He wants a top4, right? How about trading ****** for some pieces and trade another player(s) for a top 4, instead.
I'm thinking other positions might get more teams involved which means more choice and more chance to gain a top 4
ie. Trade for Galch
then package a trade for a top 4 with other players.

Because Montreal always was and IMO still is very much a longshot. Same as the Rangers (if Skjei is really off limits for Duchene).

The only slim chance MTL has was something around Galchenyuk but I still don't understand why Sakic would make that move unless Bergevin adds a significant piece and I very much doubt that MB would be willing to do that.
Any chance a 3-Way between CBJ, COL, and MTL could get done?
Something like CBJ gets chucky, MTL gets Duchene and COL gets young players, prospects, and picks?

Depending on the prospects, this type of deal would heavily favor CBJ and MTL IMO.

No the CBJ need a 2C and Galchenyuk isn't a NHL center right now. We would deal directly with the Avs for Duchene.Any chance a 3-Way between CBJ, COL, and MTL could get done?
