Like the idea. I think Pasta will be more around the $7.5 million range and I don't think Colorado wants Spooner. I have a feeling to get that done it'll have to be something like Beleskey, Debrusk, Zboril, and 1st & 3rd picks. For the lineup I hope JFK is ready but I don't think he is. So probably will be Vatrano - Spooner - Backes.

1st + 3rd (cond) + Zboril + Vatrano for Duchene w/ $2 mil retain. The Schenn/STL deal is the comp in this. Production wise their numbers a similar over the last 3 years, they are the same age and signed to similar deals (Schenn has 1 more year and about $1 million less). I'm still skeptical that Duchene is mentally tough enough to play in Boston. His number tanked after his name hit the rumor mill and he admitted it affected him. Imagine if he had any type of drought, he'd be blasted by the media and fans.

Agreed. It's giving away too much of the future for someone we're not 100% sure about.
