  1. Preds fan….saw the buyout this morning, and honestly, I dont know wtf they're doing anymore. Are we going into full rebuild mode? That would mean trading Saros and it's kinda late after the draft to consider that; although, I'd never expect GMBT to not build his team from the net out with a Vezina-caliber netminder in the first place. Aside from Duchey's first few abysmal years here, he's posted 142 points in the last 149 games for this team and they opt for a cap hit the next six years so he can play elsewhere?!!! 😵😵 I'm still reeling from the nuisance of Turris's buyout, but this one is beyond strange at a whole other level. Joey was a cap dump before the draft…understandable…had a decent year the previous season and yet that injury with an overall downward trajectory makes sense. This one…I dont get it. As a STH of 23 years, I'm worried that we are striving for "the Predator Way"…the gritty, frustrating, and still offensively anemic dump and chase of the old Trotz era.

  2. Duchene left Colorado years ago because he wanted to play "playoff hockey," based on his choices of teams to do that with since then, I would assume he's signing with Arizona next.

  3. Matt Duchene back to CO on a team friendly deal!!! Depth down the middle, speed, and mfing talent. Come on Avs!! Let's revive Matt Duchene for a year with a cup win, then send him off the year after for another great haul 🤣🤣

  4. The"Hockey Psychology" guy has a video about how Buddy Robinson changed the Hockey landscape in a major way.
    He scored his third career goal and sunk the Pens playoff hopes, causing a domino effect we still see unfolding today.
    I was wondering if Shannon could comnent on this, it was really fascinating.

  5. What is Nashville doing? They got rid of their top two centers for nothing in return but cap space for a team that is rebuilding at this point? It might make some sense if they had plans to bring in a major deal to put them over the top but they are no where near that level. Could they really not get anything for Duchene?

  6. If someone would be willing to give Dushesne 5 mil they could have just had him likely for free at 4 mil as if Nashville would pay more then that to buy him out for 6 years!

  7. Why didnt edmonton just buy him out if thats the cap hit. I thought Kostin fit in quite well in their bottom 6. Now they need to replace that through free agency. Good job Soilers

  8. I would have been shocked if Dubois wasn't able to keep Kivlenieks' number but I'm glad to see it regardless.

  9. Duechene as a 3rd centre who could move up to a 2nd if injury to petey or JT? If under 3.5 for one year?

  10. really hope Blake gets a good team . has a load of value left . i do get it on Matt and Ryan . i believe they could do some good somewhere short term

  11. How to circumvent the INTENT of CBA's … what a snake-oil monger business… Oh well. Why consider the group advantage INTENT when YOU individually can make more money!!!! Isn't greed wonderful!

  12. Duchesne is this generation's Kovalev! So much talent… and if his mind was right… he could dominate every shift… but both of em loved to float out there on the ice!! Just sad!!

  13. Nobody ever in their right mind would give Duchene 5M. Why? So he’d still earn more than 8M accounting for the free money he’s already getting??? I said wheeler will get minimum and he got minimum cos he’s already making money

  14. Will give David Poile credit, he’s amazing at identifying elite talent for the draft. The list is very long of solid/superstar talent.
