So Duchene and a top 3 pick pick this year? I cannot see how Colorado could give that up. I don't care how down of a year Duchene is having you don't give up a top 3 pick for that offer.

Duchene is on the block.. Sakic said so.. Avs are getting a future 1st line C in Bennett (drafted 4th).. 2017 draft is really REALLY weak, did you know that Nolan Patrick (consensus 1st overall) is only projected as a 2nd line C? Avs are also getting two picks plus a good prospect (former first rounder)

Sakic said he believes in his core, he didnt say anyone, especially Duchene is on the Block. IF he said so, go ahead and post an article that has him quoting that Duchene is on the block. Ill wait. I would get your facts straight first and second expect to get ragged on when you post homer one sided trades is you think Duchene and a Top 4 pick is fair for Bennett with some spare parts.

Nolan Patrick isnt projected just as a a 2nd line C. Man do you even look any of this stuff up? Its not a strong draft but he still is the Top Prospect for a reason, a big right handed C who has Top line C capabilities, every draft report about him says he has the ability to be a Top line C. The safe bet he is he a teams 1B as he needs to hit his potential to be a true 1A centre, But he also plays RW.

Its a bad trade man, dress it up all you want. Its not great and I think Bennett is great but that doesnt help the Avs at all and is so homerish 1sided its trolling

This is a joke of an offer for Duchene.

Bennett hasn't looked like he has the potential to be a 1C, just because you get drafted high, doesn't mean you will turn out to be really good...

I only brought Numbers in cause Coga started it. In Bob Mackenzies mid season/pre season draft preview he said himself. Nolan Patrick is projected to be a 2C. And that he was a few days away from being in last year's draft, and if he was: he'd have gone 5-10th overall

Given the Devils recent defensive woes, they would make that second trade in a heart beat.

what the heck are you talking about, I didnt say any stats first, you just went off on how Sakic said this and that, which I corrected you, but you refuse to accept that you were wrong?

And you said Bob McKenzie said it himself in his mid-season draft rankings...um he hasn't even posted his official mid-season rankings yet. Which usually happens in February. Honestly dude you are really just throwing stuff at the wall with nothing to back this stuff up. McKenzie never goes out and projects players like that, he says all the time he doesnt like to do projections.

What you are getting at is this blurb
http://www.tsn.ca/mckenzie-s-pre-season-ranking-the-nolan-patrick-draft-1.567410

"...believes Patrick has what it takes to be a No. 1 centre in the NHL.

While some of the scouts surveyed by TSN do not discount Patrick evolving into that role, the consensus view is Patrick is projected more as a second-line NHL centre and doesn't have the same “wow” factor as McDavid, Eichel and Matthews."

That isnt McKenzie, that is other teams scouts who are saying that. If you are going to post things at facts, might as well get them right.
