What I fail to understand is why Ottawa traded Turris+ for Duchene. Could easily argue that Turris is the better player. Nashville killed that deal IMO. |

The rumor of a Oliver Ekman-Larsson trade for William Nylander made me shart my pants a bit this week.
BTW - Shenn was an awesome acquisition for the Blues and Colorado & Nashville made off like bandits in their trade. I don't get it from the Ottawa perspective. |

Tarasenko with the Gordie Howe Hat Trick.
And people bitched when we traded Reaves - that we needed someone to protect 91. Dude can handle himself just fine. |

But I agree with Yeo and that a player of Tarasenko's caliber cannot be throwing blows. I think it sent a good message to the rest of the team, though. |

The Blues are terrible hard to keep up with, going to be a good race for the Central.

Duchene since the trade: 2-2-4 in 14 games.
I was told he's upgrade on Turris though. Ottawa is ****ed. |

Karlsson's gonna get 10+ M once his contract is up next offseason. Melnyk isn't gonna give that to him. Just wonder who would trade for him. Would absolutely love for the Rangers to be in on that, although I imagine the price would be ungodly. |

With Doughty and Karlsson beating their chests recently, saying they're going to get as much as they can on the open market, this reduces their trade value in a sense since other teams know their current teams are in a pickle to extend them and they have no loyalty to their current teams vs. $$$. Melnyk needs to decide if he wants to do a deep dive rebuild, or, let things play out as they are, while in a Canadian Market that can't even sell out their playoff games. Tough situation... As a Leaf fan, with some glaring needs on defense, I wouldn't even be sniffing around Karlsson or Doughty. Both teams will be far more desperate to get far less for them next year. Even then, the cap damage would be hard to defend. |

As for Duchene himself, he's always been streaky as hell. I think he gets way too far into his own head, and feeling like he has to prove himself on a new team is certainly the kind of situation I'd expect him to struggle with. |
