Josh Anderson's contract negotiations are more Ryan Johansen than Seth Jones/Alexander Wennberg.

Jamwad Hilder posted:

I'm surprised no one has traded for Duchene even considering that Sakic is probably asking for too much. A team like Carolina could really use him and probably has the pieces to get a deal done too.

Also how much does it suck to be Duchene? Playing for your favorite childhood team and having things turn out like this.

Didn't he want to wear #19 because he loved Sakic and they retired it just in time for him to play in the NHL?

That number's free in Coumbus. :getin:

ThinkTank posted:

He'll get a roster player and a first round pick/top prospect I would imagine though. Duchene scored 30 the year before the nightmare season and has hovered around 60ish points a season his whole career with a couple jumps to the 70+ range. He's not an all-star, but if Hero charts are anything to go by he's a solid #1 C. I wouldn't build a franchise around him, but for a team like Nashville or Edmonton who are looking to contend for the foreseeable future he'd be a massive improvement over their current 2nd line centres.

The suggestion from Aaron Portzline was that Boone Jenner+Ryan Murray+1st was the CBJ's offer, but it was never confirmed. Murray was believed to be almost certainly involved because he's expendable and the Avs supposedly wanted a defenseman.

I know it was probably almost all of them, but I especially want to send a cosmic "gently caress you" to Jacobs and Melnyk for this stupid loving Olympics nonsense because I am sure they were among the loudest shouting for this decision.

Reportedly Sakic's ask from Nashville was one of their top 4 D and additional pieces

He's not going to get traded until that price comes down.

Also, Kreider has moved on from killing goalies to killing himself

They probably should have taken that.

For no reason whatsoever the name Jan Hlavac crossed my mind for the first time in a decade yesterday.

Man, I remember him being pretty decent in NHL 2003 or something and then being kind of excited when he got traded to Nashville in 2008.

Also that Nashville roster had no business making the playoffs aside from Dan Ellis having his one good year.

He was pretty skilled and had a few good years with the "Czech line" on the Rangers before he got traded to Philly in exchange for Lindros. Just gonna assume Philly and Vancouver ruined him.

Funnily enough, that site is also out of Small jerseys and that's the only men's size which fits because I'm not tall. I might've gone for that Medium Fartsmell CBJ jersey but the sleeves would be way past my fingertips.

gently caress being short.
