You like Trouba but not Letang?
- Feds91Stammer

He's 32, has played for 13 years and he had a stroke. Hard pass

58 points in 50 games as a number one center for production is pretty damn good in ottawa

higher ppg then jack had as a center last season and he didn't have a 40 goal scorer on his wing

not to mention, duchene is fast, and botts wants a fast team

I think duchene is better for the next 6 or 7 years then skinner
- homiedclown

That’s the ONLY time in his career he’s been over a ppg pace
And his high points in a season is 70 i believe

Explain how he keeps up that point pace here,
when JACK is ahead of him getting all the 1C offensive ice time

William Karlsson (if Vegas would trade him) would be the perfect fit
- jdfitz77

he is going to want at least 6 per

and got less points then duchene and will cost assets


karlsson .53 ppg in the nhl
duchene .75 ppg in nhl
your move

Oh it's a terrible idea..... this team and this board just ran a 2C out of town making 7.5M a year who averaged 65-70 pts a year.


Same board who cries about him being gone now too.

^this guy gets it

- jcragcrumple

Fair enough.

how about sending him to Pitts with the late 1st rounder we have for Malkin? Would you take 3 years of malkin at 9+ mil a year? I think I would... I think Malkin gets traded this summer...

Edit: before anyone kills me for that proposal, I think it would take more then just that....
- hehateme

Not saying it can't happen, but every year the Pens don't win the Cup, there are Malkin rumors.

Good post

Now the 65-70 point center will be making 9.5-10 million and be signed thru 2027 instead of 2023

he got 70 points again last season

botts will build down the middle, with speed

So you're saying my boy Erod is getting a multi year extension

He should. 4yrs 6m do it.

- jcragcrumple

he ain't going anywhere

Ok, let’s just take Duchene’s name out of it for a minute

And even speculate that Casey does get moved to the wing

Should we be trying to pay a 2C that’ll score 60points 9-10mil per year???
That just seems like a really bad idea to me
- jdfitz77

To you and me it is, but that's the going rate now....

and 3 gears faster then ror
- homiedclown

He is definitely different then ror

Much faster less grit

Seems like off the ice he finds a bit of trouble.

They supposedly weren't getting along with each other in Colorado.

And the uber video

$10 big ones a year. Better be squeaky clean and a great teammate

To you and me it is, but that's the going rate now....

petry looked like a bad deal when he signed with the habs, 5 mil for a fringe 3rd d man

now it's a steal

he got 70 points again last season

He got 70pts bc he was in the 1C role with Ottawa

He would NOT be in that role here

His points will drop back down to 60ish bc he will be the 2C
And he will not be getting those same opportunities
Or be playing with Mark Stone on his wing

Duchene on buffalo is a 20-25goal scorer,
with 60ish points

So you're saying my boy Erod is getting a multi year extension
- jcragcrumple

I envision a 3 or 4 year deal 2 per for erod.

The more I read about krueger, the more I feel like erod is gonna benefit most from the new coach

He is definitely different then ror

Much faster less grit


- Boss34

thought you had to take a few penalties if you had grit

I kid


duchene at 10 per and no assets moved IMO would be better then moving assets to get karlsson and lock him up in the 6 to 7 mil range

unless vegas wants okposo

5v5 p60 last 2 seasons

Karlsson 2.20

Duchene 2.22
- Feds91Stammer

And Karlsson is actually GOOD defensively
And will cost around 3mil less per season

It’s a no brainer IF we could trade for him

petry looked like a bad deal when he signed with the habs, 5 mil for a fringe 3rd d man

now it's a steal
- homiedclown

I don't care if they have 3 players eating up 30-40% of cap space. Eichel 10, Skinner 8.5, Duchene 9.5, the key is getting rid of Okposo.

He got 70pts bc he was in the 1C role with Ottawa

He would NOT be in that role here

His points will drop back down to 60ish bc he will be the 2C

Duchene with Oloffsson and Caufield could be deadly for years....

Trouba, Trouba, Trouba.

I do not know why or why not. I cannot get behind trading the potential of the 7 OA for Please enlighten, if you will.

424 36 158 194 -143
408 42 137 179 +37

While the +/- is a function of team, more than the individual, aren't the two players represented by the numbers above, similar?

I would argue Trouba would be a -143 on the Sabres. I do not see the upgrade with him over Risto. Someone with a PhD in analytics will tell me I am a fool but, I am not sure I am.

Perhaps another case of "Get Rid Of {insert name here}.

Duchene with Oloffsson and Caufield could be deadly for years....
- hehateme

So could Mitts with those 2
And we won’t have to pay him 10mil per

Same board who I’ll be laughing at when he’s a 40-45 point centre in a year and a half and still making $7.5M a year.
