GDT: Montreal Canadiens vs Chicago Blackhawks 11/5/17 7:00pm EST SN, RDS, TSN 690

[G0bias]

So Turris, Hammond+ 1st and 3rd round picks from Sens side?

 

[MaxDummy]

in today's NHL a contending team can't give long term high cap deals to the goalie.

Good thing we aren't contenders

 

[Runner77]

This is the deal, as just shown on RDS:

To Ottawa: Matt Duchene

To Nashville: Kyle Turris*

To Colorado: S Girard V Kamenev S Bowers A Hammond 1st and 3rd rd. picks from Ottawa (2018) and 2nd rd. pick from Nashville (2018)

Preds sign Turris to 6-year, 36M contract.

Lindgren is why I'm convince Bergevin didn't have to cave into Price's contract demands so early, should have at least waited until mid season to see what Lindgren had to offer. As Bergevin has demonstrated with Radulov, Markov and Subban, he can play hardball and with respect to Price, in today's NHL a contending team can't give long term high cap deals to the goalie.

Teams that are satisfied with just making the playoffs can.

 

[Nedved]

I never thought turris was that great.

I think the sens made away like bandits here, they got the best player.

*nevermind, didn't see the 1st rounder. they're in a win now mode. habs sink further down the tank in the division.

 

[Tyson]

So important to kill this penalty to start th second

To Nashville: Kyle Turris

To Colorado: S Girard V Kamenev S Bowers A Hammond 1st and 3rd rd. picks from Ottawa (2018) and 2nd rd. pick from Nashville (2018)

Nashville killed it. And that contract is also very good.

Not much difference between the two imo

 

[LaP]

Why Drouin no pass? So selfish..

Did you see that selfish individualisss pass by Kane in the first. He did a backhand pass to the blueline. Man he's such a bum.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

So Turris, Hammond+ 1st and 3rd round picks from Sens side?

Sakic is a genius he got a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Bowers Girard Hammond Kamenev.

Bad trade for Nash and the Sens Imo.

I don't know. Duchene brings more than Turris but not by that much IMO

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

So Turris, Hammond+ 1st and 3rd round picks from Sens side?

+ Bowers, who was sens 1st round pick in 2017

 

[Nedved]

Not much difference between the two imo

guess we're about to find out. he's in our division now, but I think he bounces back and becomes a solid player.

 

[nhlfan9191]

That’s a great trade to get a top 6 center for them. They’ve managed to acquire two top 6 centers threw trade. What’s our GM’s excuse? Trades are hard?

 

[LaP]

I don't know. Duchene brings more than Turris but not by that much IMO

That's crazy what Ottawa was ready to pay to change Turris by Duchene.

Preds sign Turris to 6-year, 36M contract.

Turris never became the player I thought he would. I've seen a few posts touting the Preds depth up the middle but I don't see a great player there. That D is sick though.

 

[donghabs98]

With the way Price has been playing, Habs should just start Lindgren more. There's no drawbacks to it. Lindgren will be motivated to prove himself, it will give him more NHL experience, increase his trade value and give Price a time to regroup and find his game.

 

[G0bias]

They're all 2018 picks too which is huge. Avs finally end up with a good haul.

 

[Sky04]

I never thought turris was that great.

I think the sens made away like bandits here, they got the best player.

Yeah they traded a guy who consistently scored 55 points for a guy who hasn't broken 60 points in 4 years, and gave up a 1st and 3rd to boot

Sens have no picks in first 3 rounds now. They are all in.

Yeah they traded a guy who consistently scored 55 points for a guy who hasn't broken 60 points in 4 years, and gave up a 1st and 3rd to boot

And their last first round pick. That's crazy, that trade is good only if they win the Cup and they will not.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

That's crazy what Ottawa was ready to pay to change Turris by Duchene.

Yeah I don't really understand... but whatever.. hope they know what they're doing !

Actually I don't.. I hope they suck !

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Johansen, Turris and Bonino is a pretty good trio.

 

[scrubadam]

Nashville killed it. And that contract is also very good.

Colorado made out like bandits and Sakic got more than I thought he could. Good D prospect, two other prospects, and 3 draft picks.

Nash looking pretty decent down the middle with RJ, Turris, Bonino.

 

[Runner77]

Ottawa managed to hold on to Chabot -- that was their dealbreaker.

 

[donghabs98]

That's crazy what Ottawa was ready to pay to change Turris by Duchene.

Apparently Ottawa had to trade Turris because they wouldn't give him his contract extension. The thing is, Duchene will ask for more next year anyway. So they have up 2 picks and a prospect for a player who's slightly better and will ask for more money.

For a money strap team it doesn't make much sense. This deal gets worse if Ottawa misses the playoffs or Duchene walks.
