So they need to get worse? They need to trade one of their best forwards for prospects? The lottery no longer guarantees you draft top two if you finish bottom of the league so tanking isn't as amazing as when they Oilers did it. Look at where they picked this year after finishing last. Tanking is now even more unreliable than it was before.
They cannot afford to trade Duchene for prospects. The GM can't do it. I doubt ownership would allow it. Sends the worst message to fans. Prospects are a total gamble unless they are the most blue chip prospects out there. They need something proven. They have to get somebody back who can play in the NHL and make an impact next year. I'm absolutely shocked how many of you want to be blind to that reality. Deny it all you want but trading Duchene for prospects will never happen.
