Sujet: Trade if LA decides to rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>11 million dollars a year isn't a cap dump that is easy to remove from the books. Also you want speed everywhere in the lineup. All the best defenceman in the NHL are currently under 33 years old (I was going to say under 30 but there are a couple of outliers). Most of the best are under 30 and they all are above average skaters. Lose a step and you are dust in this league. (Unless you are 6'9" and can reach 15 feet in any direction with the wave of a stick, but Chara can get crushed by speed, he just doesn't have any of it anymore)</div></div>

the pens won a cup with Dumo and Hainsey as their top 2 defense men. Neither is particularly fast.
Lets also note that Maatta was the second line pairing and he's slow as hell.

Now if you are done with imaginary hockey, we can get back to reality. You don't need McDavid speed to play defense. That's just a fact. There are plenty of good defensemen over the age of 30. And 2 years on that contract isn't all that bad, considering he may be playing well then. There is always a rebuilding team willing to take a cap dump if the price is right. Fact is getting 5-6 good years out of a top defense man isn't a bad deal. Especially as the cap goes up every year.

Sujet: The most SINISTER Offer-Sheet in NHL history
With Eugene Melnyk unwilling to pay top dollar for players GM Joe Sakic could make an already lopsided Duchene deal even more impressive.
With Ottawa deferring their relinquishment of their 2018 selection to 2019 it gives rise to a unique opportunity. Mark Stone being an RFA open him up to offer sheets. Should the Avs make a $7,305,316 offer to Stone it would only require them to give up the AVS 1st, 2nd and 3rd. While the Sens would now own the Avs first three choices they would be without their best forward and with Karlsson likely leaving town they will be short of star talent needed to keep them afloat for the 2018-19 season. The Sens 2019 selection would be even more likely to yield a very high draft pick and would be forced to be given to the Avs.
