So are the Aves just going to keep trading all their young super star talent in a perpetual rebuild of mediocrity? They may take Vancouver's spot as worst managed in the NHL soon.

I think everyone on this board would do that deal so that's why I know it's not fair you have to overpay which sucks

"Duchene available in effort to obtain top pair Dman"

We're out.

We're just not good trading partners for a player like that... If Ennis played last year and put up 35-40 points we'd have a nice trade asset. Duchene who made team Canada (fair or not) over O'Riley. Would probably cost on a good team their 2nd best defenseman or their 2nd line center. Since we don't have a number two defenceman good enough for him or a second line center they'd probably ask for Risto. I wouldn't do it.

Maybe we could do Barrie and Duchene and their 2nd for Risto and Bailey? I wouldn't do it but who knows...

You would get a lesser defenseman but you would end up with a high-powered forward that's a tough one

I would say that's a pretty close even trade

Wow, no.

8th and Bailey and someone like Borgen at the most. ROR was only 2 good prospects, one guy who may or may not, and the 31st pick.

I think the Colorado Avalanche would laugh at the offer

You're probably giving up as much as the Phil Kessel trade

Duschene is a better overall player and point producer. He's going to cost more. Borgen and Bailey aren't close to the prospects of Zadorov. Grigerenko was a throw away. Compher is a better Borgen Zadorov is a better Bailey. Need to offer better than that and we don't have it.

Yeah, except the difference is in the picks. The 8th is a lot more valuable than the 31st. I really wish I could find that stupid article that shows what every pick is worth in terms of getting awuality NHLer. ROR means more to a team than Duchene. Duchene scores goals. Ok, ROR scores goals, kills penalties, takes every other face-off. Forechecks. Backchecks. Plays 38 minutes a nights. Yes, he's very valuable. Hence the 8th overall pick with no picks coming back. Plus a good prospect and a tweener who has shown some promise on the international stage.

Duchene Is on the Market


This is what I'm talking speed kills



It's going to cost a lot let's see your offers guys

He doesn't get along with O'Reilly. No way the sabres can bring in Ladd or Duchene.

Found it.

That'd be a record or something.

Yea

Its just too much of our prospect pool to be giving up when we are already weak there. And I really like Duchene. It will just cause too much damage

I think O'Riley is a more complete player but apparently the people in Colorado and team Canada disagree.

If they gave up Duchene they'd have one solid top six center. I don't see them trading him at all unless they get RNH back in a deal for Barrie which I could definitely see happening. I don't see a fair deal for Buffalo here.

Apparently him and O'Riley made up. They were very close during the worlds this summer. We're not getting him though so don't worry. Likely not getting Ladd either.

Oh, I was just talking in terms of value. We'd be a horrible trade partner. Apparently ROR and Duchene don't get along.

Edit: Late.

Double edit: I believe Duchene will be on the wing for Canada.

That is 5 yrs old.

I'd guess the values may have changed a bit.

Still a good basis though

Hypothetical would anyone take three more years at 5.4 of Bouwmeester?
