The pkg required...wouldnt be worth it..wings pipeline would be empty..plus he's not 20 ..no thanks..

IDK. I get what you're saying. But he's putting up the same numbers as when he was 20. lol.
Trades never empty a pipeline...It's usually a decent player, a prospect or two that most casual fans don't know and some picks. (I live in Ottawa and have seen the disastrous trades they've made to move their stars. lol)
And if he's still putting up good numbers at $8.5 mill in a few years, he would be a steal. Ovie is 33 and has been as consistent as Stamkos. So I would expect the same production.

Of course someone is going to pay more for Duchene this year for a player one year younger and is already at his peak.

( And I don't think they will do anything this year and wait it out till next year. I hope so anyways.)

A package of rasmussen, cholowski, bertuzzi and a 1st pay get it done. Not sure I would make that deal if I'm the wings though.

AA, mcaasic, and a 1st

I like that package, having fun with it. Red Wings do need to see what the kids are going to do this year. They would probably ask for AA to start instead of Ras I would imagine.
I hope Cholo has a great year and even Veleno pushing someone to the side.
I think Yzerman holds on till the TDL before doing anything much.
