He is 201lbs and 18. I'm sure he is plenty strong

The fat will turn into muscle easy just needs to start running alot to get his endurance going

How about Sakic? WTF is this guy doing with a job still?
- lulags

Can you imagine how poopty Detroit would have been without striking gold on Datsyuk and Zets? Their playoff streak would have ended after Lidstrom retired.

Was a Legend now half of the Avalanche fans hate the guy lol

I think I made a joke the other day about Colorado having 3 competent dmen.

That team is a joke. They're not even trying to lose. Christ, the off ice is worse than the on ice.

Maybe if Sammiches would show up to work and do his (frank)ing job, they'd be a competent team. Maybe actually trade Duchene and have more than 2 actual dmen.

I mean are you trying to ruin the team? They completely missed the boat on the UFA market. Most teams don't give a poop about Duchene now and the ridiculous price tag for him, and most teams with cap trouble made their moves. I would give them Gorges, Moulson, and a 1st at this point. Apparently Sakic has had some big offers and said no. Idiot

Any news on sams contract ?

detroit is the luckiest team of all time. More freakin 5-8 round picks that turned into NHL gold than every other team combined. Pure luck, agreed!

I'd throw that offer at him as a (frank) you troll job. It's not that they don't give a poop about Duch, it's just that the asking price is clearly out of control. In case anyone didn't notice, Seguin was traded for less than Duchane's reported asking price, and Duch sure as poop aint Seguin. Sakic's being a bum here.

They're not negotiating with him until next summer. They want to see him take off and earn his contract. So be it.

Smart move. See how hungry he plays this year

Sign jack to 8 year contract and introduce him as the next captain


Let's go

His agent may very well have requested the same. Samson has money to make this year and not much to lose.

You would think with all the cheap contracts coming out we could of signed him for 4m for 4 years

Seguin wasn't Seguin when he was traded

Or you sign him to a 4M bridge next year, or a 5.5M long term deal. There's really no reason you need to negotiate with him this summer. He's not going anywhere

Seguin was Duchene+

I was still hoping we get Hanifin for him oh well

You don't have a credit card?
- GERBE!!!75PTS

No I don't have a parents credit card to put it on lol

So you strip a team of it's anemic offense with multiple position skill to take a chance on a potential 2 or 3?

So you do have a credit card .. just work and pay it off next mouth it's only 200

If he's not playing center then what's the point of having him waste away ?

You upgrade your D

I wonder if Mittelstadt's draft position fell solely because of the off ice strength and conditioning testing.

This kid is way more talented than some of the other clowns picked after Patrick.
- TheSabresTaco

i cant imagine it was solely cause of that. his ushl stats didnt do him any favours

i heard his agent asked JB the same question and got a dial tone

Seguin was Duchene+
- TheSabresTaco

Right but he wasn't an 80 point player when he was moved.

He had 32 points in 48 gms when he was traded.

Duchene is coming off an awful year, but so is all the Avs.

I was still hoping we get Hanifin for him oh well
- GERBE!!!75PTS

Reinhart waiting to negotiate until next year probably puts off any Kane extension until then.

Wish they would have been able to bridge him now.

Next year if he has a good 50-55 point year he's looking at 5-6 mil
