Chris Stevenson is a long time Senators beat writer. He now covers the Senators for The Athletic. Stevenson thinks Duchene will stay in Ottawa.
Stevenson: All that's left for Senators fans are rumours and...
Even if Duchene is put on the block in the winter of 2019,centers have value so the Rangers should get a good return for Hayes. Ottawa will have so much money available for 19-20. Someone is getting their money.

We do if we want to take on Callahan as a cap dump for assets.
As it stands right now, we could not do that.

With Ellis locked up, I really wonder what Nashville is gonna end up doing with Fabbro. I know we’ve talked about him on here a bunch already, and I still think we’d be a fit by by sending them a forward around the deadline.

It may have just been discussion on these boards since he's going back to BU this season. I'm not sure if there has been any actual reporting about him possibly not signing with the Preds.
Fabrro is a very good prospect. I probably rate him more highly than others, but I don't think him becoming a very good second pairing defenseman is out of the question. I know there are some critiques that he hasn't wowed at the collegiate level after being such a force in the BCHL.
I have a tough time seeing anything going on with him this season unless he informs the Preds he absolutely won't sign. Having an ELC to play behind that big money is going to be important.

That McLeod guy from Boston U sticks out, drafted in the 2nd by Tampa, but apparently one of his big problems has been not getting ice time from Quinn...
I know NSH viewed him on their no trade list list year. Fabbro could step in on their 3rd pair as early as next season. Replacing Weber isn't a though challenge for him, so there is a path for an NHL roster spot.
If he turns pro after this season, one year in the AHL is common for Predators prospects.
If Fabbro wants to go the UFA route, it's not too far away either.
IMO he was still physically undersized last year, and was a little banged up. He could stand to put on some more muscle, and BU is a great place for him to do that.

Yeah, and I'm jumping the gun a bit thinking that he won't sign. His ELC expiring would actually fit in perfectly with the Preds next wave of contracts.
Yeah, it's a bit optimistic on my part. Good RHD are hard to find, so I'm trying to jump on one at any chance I get. Who else of Nashville's prospects was on their no trade list besides Tolvanen?

With Sekera out for the Oilers indefinitely, would the Oilers re-visit a Staal for Lucic + deal?

IIRC Staal has an NTC, eitherway i would add a forward to this deal to sweeten the return. Staal + Spooner for Lucic + a pick and young forward
Why would the Rangers take on two extra years? $6M per for 5 more years. Staal sucks but Lucic isn't much better especially with two more years on his contract. It makes no sense for the Rangers. Lucic is awful. Look at that contract. So much bonus money. It can't be bought out with getting your ass handed to you. Good luck to Edmonton. Lucic is their problem.
Why the hell would anyone want this guy?

Lucic benefits from being one of the tougher NHL players in an era where a lot of the truly tough players are no longer playing in the league.
I remember watching him in a fight against Orr many years ago and thinking that he wouldn't been a particularly impressive beast had he played even 10 years prior.
He would've been a very good, not necessarily amazing middleweight power forward.

But Dolan can convince Staal to waive his NMC if he buys Staal's house for twice the price

The best was when Lucic got his ass beat in a bar in Vancouver! “Do you know who I am!” Lol
I especially loved that black eye he was rock’in

I’m not going to lie, there have been a few incidents and comments over the years that make me shake my head.
Part of me would’ve loved to have a guy like Probert or Kocur beat his ass.
Yes.. Dolan could...
But only, and I mean only, if Gorton can also acquire MacKinnon so he can naturally be a flank on Boo’s wing.
Kreider will easily break Gretzky’s 92g record with all that Synergy.
And Dolan will have his 14th vacation home in Fairfield County.
