TRADE DEADLINE BONANZA 2017!

Or Duchene.

I don't think we can really afford Duchesne past the next 2 years. Stone, Turris and Karlsson all need new deals as well as a starting goalie. Pretty sure Duchesne won't sign anywhere for less than 7M.

Ho hum.

Sens got a tiny bit better, faster.

Habs got a lot bigger, slower; likely have the best fourth-line depth in the Atlantic

Leafs -- doesn't matter what they did; they'll get their Calder Trophy and another chance at the lottery when all is said (sad) and done.

Boston got an aging Stafford. I don't even know where he slots in. The TSN analysis says he'll do well with Boston's strength at center. Is he even an upgrade over Jimmy Hayes (2g, 5pts) or Riley Nash (4g, 7pts)? I guess a little, but their bottom six is still suspect.

Panthers got either an upgrade on offense or a headache. Remember the Vanek to Montreal deadline trade? Funny, I didn't think Florida needed forward help. Their offensive issues have a lot to do with injuries to Huberdeau and Barkov. I think this deal kills the Leafs' chances as the Panthers will surely pass them now. Give it a day or two.

Unless Bobby Ryan winds up out of Ottawa....

Ryan, Brassard, Methot, others. We could have top players in Chabot, White, Brown, Hogberg on ELCs. Ryan will have 3 years left and either playing better or bought out.

Alright, when's the next game? There's games in hand to make up.

Well, I'm glad they got something back for Lazar. He may end up being ok, but he wasn't doing anything here. Time to move on. It would have been a rough draft with just a 1st, 4th, and 7th. Here's hoping they can get a quality prospect at that spot.

Oh, I'll also say that based on some of the prices other teams paid, the Sens overpaid in their moves for Burrows and Stalberg. If a 6th gets Stafford, why would a 3rd be the price for Stalberg or a recently drafted 2nd rounder be the price for a well past-his-prime bottom 6 agitator.

You better get ready to only draft in the 4rth and 7th! All aboard the summer duch duch train!

I'd be all in for that as well. Prospects are great, but if either of those picks turn into a player like Duchene, we'd be happy anyway.

Thats it. The chances of even any of those picks turning into duchene is minimal.
Im hoping that closer to the draft, Colorado will allow teams to feel out duchene in terms of if he would resign and at what cost.

That would be worth it. I don't want to trade for one year of duchene.

Listen to the Dorion interview. @TSN1200 probably tweeted a link. I think the 2nd year of that extension is the overpayment. I really like Burrows, he's hard to play against in big games. Good point by Dorion about him being on the room when guys like White come up. And Giving up Dahlen is of little consequence. Perron is a similar player, won league MVP in the Q, not that different from Allsvenskan.

I disagree with your Habs statement, I believe the Sens have better depth now.

Now that's just stealing my analysis with the Perron comparisons

Is the Q similar to Allsvenskan? I doubt that personally, but I don't know enough to comment.

Well they are different. I think the allsvenskan actually has men playing in it but it's not the same level. Probably has better prospects in the Q and also ice surface would be different. I think I would prefer a prospect to develop in the Q than in the allsvenskan. Just in terms of getting used to the right typeof play. I'd be interested to see how dahlem plays outside of his league.
He seemed to struggle a bit playing against the best in the WJC in terms of aggressiveness and size of the ice.
Doesn't mean he can't learn it but I still say people think he looked good because of his game against Latvia.

This could be another Petersson all over again.

A lot can change from season to season, I haven't Cussed around with cap numbers in so long, but if there's a will, there's a way. I'd work that out when the time comes.

Like Izzerman did just this very day? Or Chicago does every single year? Yeah, I think it's doable.
