This just in:

 Study says all players are aging.

Edit to add

New study says:

Everyone is aging, not just players.

you had to study to figure that out?

Are you saying Duchene would re-sign in Vancouver if we acquired him?

 

Because I think there would be a 90% chance of him leaving.

Not 89% or 92% 

 

Vancouver is a dream location for many in the NHL and is almost never on a “no trade” and MD would more than likely be keen to be joining a team on the rise in a city as nice as any in the world.   Who wouldn’t?   It is not like you guys are trying to sell players on Edmonton or similar.    Even taxes there aren’t bad (currently)

Do you have any evidence that Duchene is one of those people? Because there's evidence that Duchene doesn't want to be on a bottom feeding team even if they have some nice pieces coming in. 

 

Even if Duchene did want to re-sign here, why would we want to do it? The contract necessary to retain him would likely be too long and too pricey for someone who doesn't fit our young core.

Yup, lots of evidence.   TONS of it in fact....same amount you did when you made your silly claim.    You are right, he doesn't want to be on a bottom feeding team but he would LOVE to be part of the Vancouver Canucks.     The question is, why would the Vancouver Canucks want him?    You are now saying some correct things about Canucks core and his price and the fact his ceiling is known and the Canucks that will likely pass that are many.
