Thread: Duchene beats Kessel for third line supremacy.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Slimysnake</b></div><div>Sorry but the avs would not take a old defenseman with a bad contract</div></div>

They were the second-highest bidder! Sakic decided the cap hit was getting half a million too high and went out and signed Iginla, instead. If anyone knows Orpik is worth about this much, it's Colorado.</div></div>

That was 3 years ago. That's the same as saying Iginla was worth his contract this year when he obviously declined. I see Washington fans desperately trying to trade Orpik because he isn't worth the cap. As for Chorney he's a 3rd pair at best. Beagle is one of the better 4th line wingers in the league but that still doesn't make up for Duchene. Stephenson is a decent prospect but still doesn't make up for it. The 3rd is ok but if you really want Duchene it would have to have a good young dman like Bowey+ another young piece. I get Orpik is a good penalty kill guy and the avs got yak but you would have to pay a team to take opriks contract similar to trades where you see the player+ a 2nd for a 6th. You just simply won't get Duchene for spare pieces
