MeanSeanBean Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hardest pass. Elite skill or top 6 winger with size. We do not need any small skilled players being overpaid in FA. Guy doesn't even strike me as a Benning player in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDangles Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Devils advocate.. Every time someone posts an option to sign/trade for a good player, CDC has all these concerns with why we shouldn't do it. E.Kane, Panarin, Stone, E. Karlsson, Myers, Duschene, the list can go on forever. At some point people are going to have to either support one of these proposals or accept the fact we are not going to get better. Every one of these players make their team better, yet CDC continuously comes up with some reason why its a bad idea. Character, Cap, term, age etc. I guess every team who signs/trades for these players are dumb, and we're the smart ones right? I bet SJ regrets Kane (not), and Karlsson (not), and VGK regrets Stone (not). Every guy in the nucks room knows how to handle a guy with an ego... and would gladly take an ego if it came with >70 points. Pretty sure the ideal 22 yr old, tough as nails, super nice to everyone, power forward, >50 point guy doesn't exist, or the 22 yr old, PMD, PP quarterback, also tough as nails yet super nice and good at interviews, and never will be injured ever, looking for 8mil a year also doesn't exist... I just feel like we're the chick at the bar that says they can never find a boyfriend, yet every time a guy asks her for her number she goes ew.. gross. too tall, too fat, not enough money, not a good job, he likes the oilers, don't like his hair etc....

Alflives Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Duchene can’t and refuses to play without the puck. He’s pretty much Goldy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklehead80 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 NO THANK YOU. Always thought he's been overrated, but just my opinion. Don't get me wrong, he's a good player, but not one I'd like management to pursue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterBean Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I’d do it at the right price. I’m in the minority here but Vancouver could be a fresh start for him and the speed he plays with could work well in Green’s system. Throw him on Horvat’s wing and he can take over at 1C or 2C if someones gets hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too scary for me. Target Eberle or Lee or both if we can drop Sutter and/or Eriksson. If CBJ misses the playoff that would be a joke on a big scale... Reminds me of the time when Islanders went hard on Vanek and they missed the playoffs or something like that. This is 2x that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hindustan Smyl Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Agree or disagree? 1) Even if Duchene is “overrated,” and wouldn’t play as hard in the following years since it won’t be a contract year, would he not be absolutely electrifying playing alongside Pettersson? Speed. Smarts. Skill. Duchene would complement Pettersson like a glove. 2) Duchene-Pettersson-Boeser would be one of the top lines in the NHL would they not? 3) Character issues: Are Duchene’s issues really that bad, or has he just had some bad luck in terms of being a part of some terrible teams? (Ie Colorado, Ottawa). The guy was captain in Colorado and so he must have some leadership skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 No thanks. Selfish player who had less than stellar years prior to his contract year. Not at all the kind of character Benning or Green insist on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
