Thread: Duchene revival
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SuprDave45</b></div><div>Shame, he would bring some needed items to the Rangers. But that contract is way too long for way too much, especially considering his production has been trending down.

I see Nashville wanting too much in order to retain enough salary for it to make sense.</div></div>

It is a really long deal to have to handle especially if he doesn’t turn it around. Nashville was ready to give him away for nothing at the expansion draft. My idea in the trade was to give two 2nds with him, send Strome to replace at center, let’s them take his cap back and then either resign him or flip him for close to what they gave up with duchene. Get hajek and Gauthier for the 5 year cap retention instead of 10 years of buyout cap hits if they went that route

Thread: Explaining every move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>Can’t see what the rush would be to buy him out before the exp draft….I’ve always been a supporter of the edge he brings to the lineup. But wIth the info available on him at the time he was traded to the Rangers and the recent events which include him challenging a fan to a fight through social media…he is a difficult guy to defend even though there is very little confirmed info out there as to what he did to get kicked off the team. At this point NYR would just do best by moving on….JG’s poor asset management killed any value they could have received for him…and the right side of their D seems to be loaded up anyway…and the distraction which would be generated around him would probably outweigh the positive contribution he could make in playing.</div></div>

Sounds like they may wait for the second window just in case they make a trade and need him to be compliant with expansion rules. I loved his edge too. Quinn mismanaged that whole thing from the start of the season. He took a stupid penalty for slamming the door but they had zero emotion that game and got ran over by the Isles in the season opener. Scratching him for two games was bull****. Quinn also didn’t give him much chance on the left side with Trouba. That’s where they need a vet this year. Faux outrage against him for his political views but that’s the world we live in. Hope he gets his career restarted somewhere else
