I think acquiring Duchene would mess up our cap situation up front. Doesn't seem realistic at all. Brouwer would have to be dealt but he has a full NTC. Doesn't seem like there's a fit there at all.

Rather just stick with Bennett and Janko frankly. I think Duchene is overrated based on the reported asking price. COL can't afford to deal him for what would make sense for us. Just doesn't really make any sense. Zero interest in dealing Bennett for a Duchene. Zero interest in dealing Brodie for Duchene. There's no fit IMO
