which is really odd, as Turris wanted to sign in ottawa, and it was projected his ask was in the 6.5 million range, but it was Melnyk who balked at that price, even though Duchene is currently earning 6 million... while he is under contract for another year after this, his ask isn't going to be any less that what turris wanted.
still not a deal i would have done.... Turris, 2 firsts and a 3rd?
considering their career stats aren't that difference, that seems like a huge overpay.
