So where does Ottawa with the Duchene fiasco fall on the list of biggest blunders of this era?

top 5? Number 1? Or do we have to wait until we find out whether or not it's the first overall they coughed up for 1.5 seasons of Duchene?

I think what’s equally bad if you’re a Sens fan is that they set the market real low for Stone and Dzingle

It’s not as bad as Spezza and Chara for Yashin

I was going to correct you then realized he has only played 118 games as a Senator...just barely below 1.5 seasons. I was thinking Ottawa got more out of him.

Yashin still isn't getting a paycheck now, right?

If it turns out to be the number 1 pick, and Hughes comes as advertised, it arguably could be.

Chara was never the Norris winning stud for Ottawa that he was in Boston.

MacKinnon AND Hughes flying around wowzers. Sakic should be put into the HOF a 2nd time just for that.

nah. Finished a few years back.

But what about Rick Dipietro?

The avs secondary scoring issues are going to vanish in one draft.

They could have another top 5 pick too.

Surely you can make two lines from Landeskog, Mack, Rantanen, and Hughes?

Plus another top player, maybe in 2 years?

lol ok. heart trophy runner up for 2nd overall and a project dman who was no where near as good as he turned out to be....or even good for that matter

Seems weird that suddenly Puljujärvi needs season ending surgery? Just as he was being sent to the AHL and he voiced how he doesnt want to play in the AHL.

Soon, Colorado could be in position to get both Hughes and Kaako, now that would be impressive

Now they can't trade him.. It's definitely weird

Tough luck ... this is not a Pee Wee league.
When they pay your salary, you play where you're told.

yeah well, they'll pay his full salary and he won't play where he doesn't want to now.

Kaut and Bowers for top 9 roles then add Timmins and Makar to the D, finally what ever you get in return for Barrie when they trade him. If Colorado had a "Hart" type goalie prospect wow, simply amazing. Maybe they can somehow pry Samsonov from Washington.

Wings trade Jensen to Caps for Bowey and a 2nd. Isn't Bowey more like a suspect than a prospect? I guess Holland did ok here given Jensen is a UFA. Good depth move for Caps.
- gergeswillems

Hey bud ..ya i think Holland did alright here

Was just looking into things deeper and Bowey appears to have been doing pretty well considering he mostly has played with Orpik in his career.

Very good depth acquisition by the Crapitals! Damn this pisses me off.

For sure. I agree. Just a weird turn of events is what im saying.

Are we talking about Drouin before he was traded?

For sure. I agree. Just a weird turn of events is what im saying.
- poisondhearts37

The timing does seem a bit suspect ... but what do I know, he could really be injured after all.

My guess is the Oilers will try to move him during the summer.

Why would you care? Your team won't make the playoffs anyway.

Pretty sure both of those guys are getting checks from us. Or living in Wang’s mansion in OBC
