Thread: Trade for Duchene
I like the concept of bringing in Duchene.

1. Trades seldom involve both teams trading the same pick (2nd rounders). I would suggest removing them and if one is deemed more valuable than the other, or in a better draft year, change the remaining picks involved to reflect that.
2. I don't see Chabot being moved in this deal. In fact, there are no realistic trades where I would see him being moved. He is being talked about being one of the favorites for the Calder already. More likely to see one of Chlapik, Brown or even White before you would see Chabot moved, and of those three, I would not part with White in a Duchene deal.
3. I think if we moved prospects/picks, we would still have to send NHL salary back, so perhaps we also send Burrows and/or Hammond, etc. back to better manage our cap.

I wouldn't be surprised if Duchene was in a Senators uniform this year, given we haven't done much as yet, but there are still a fair number of suitors and I have no true idea of what the value is at the GM level nor how the value is changing, but I would be surprised if it was increasing with time.

Thread: tell me what you think of this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mitskins</b></div><div>Hope you're not serious about this. You think the Islanders would accept that offer? Not even close. Try Karlsson for JT.</div></div>

There is no way it is Karlsson for JT, so being that dramatic is unnecessary, however I would agree that this is a lowball offer that would never get accepted.
I would suggest it will cost a lot more futures. Change the picks offered with Brassard to 2x 1sts and then include a prospect that isn't named Chabot. The picks would need to be not lottery protected or it will cost you even more.

Besides EK would be more likely that JT to leave the Island...

Also, you have Colin White on D. I think you might have intended to put Thomas Chabot there. Probably want to swap it so that EK is 1st line pairing and move Ceci to 2nd pairing.

Shane Prince wouldn't be a target for us given we gave up on him previously. Might want to re-sign JG Pageau and Dzingel then you can demote Blunden to the Minors where he will be.
