250Integra Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Well what do you know.. Columbus plays in Ottawa tonight. Melynk is happy because he doesn't have to pay Duchene's airfare to get to his new team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be thankful for our owners, whatever flaws they might have. Benning’s job is hard enough as it is. Imagine if he had to deL with an owner like Melnyk?

Not to mention he’s a #1 centre. It's hard to get a better deal if nobody is offering one. There's no way to know what other offers were on the table unless some GM spills the beans.

Alflives Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 What if Duchene's cancerous attitude spreads throughout the CBJ locker room, and their team misses the playoffs? Then, that 1st rounder becomes a lottery ball, and the Sens win the first overall pick! It could happen!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 For a guy that wasn’t going to sign in Ottawa, and is on an expiring contract, I think that was a good return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Now there's a team that I didn't expect to be buyers. Like most I had them as one of the major sellers. Guess that means Panarin and Bob are not being moved either. I really thought Panarin would have been traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I imagine, if they sign him AND win the lottery, there is some sort of agreement to get the 2021 1st instead of the 2019? Not sure though. EDIT - Now that I saw the post above, I'm sure.

Could make a 'hockey trade' as they call them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A first and two prospects, a possible second first for a rental is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that CBJ is not liking the offers for Panarin and Bobrovsky. They also need to start making hay in the playoffs and adding Duchene should help with that. I am somewhat surprised that they managed to hold on to Wennberg in the deal as I would have thought Ottawa would want to have a roster player coming back. Duchene gives CBJ two legitimate scoring lines now and allows them to drop Wennberg or Foligno (also a former Senator...) into a 3rd line C role. CBJ added a great piece in Seth Jones by trading Ryan Johansen and they have been blessed to see Dubois emerge as a solid top-6 C. Even then, the team has struggled with depth at C for a long time so this trade should help them make a run this year. I don't know if I would say that CBJ is now a favorite but they're way more dangerous than they were before the trade, especially if this trade sparks a guy like Werenski.

I think most GMs would prioritize success in the playoffs vs collecting future assets, particularly if the conversations so far have produced trade return offers that were underwhelming. yeah, some people don't seem to get what the actual goal of an NHL team is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
