I would go in on a Jankowski + Bennett + Kylington/Andersson type deal for Duchene if it were available. However, I'd imagine that there are much stronger prospects on the table from other teams that also include picks so I don't see a deal happening.

I think Landeskog would a better fit, even he plays LW(we can always move someone to the RW), Landeskog would bring the toughness we need.

I would agree. Never been a big fan of Duchene-especially with the pricetag that comes with him.(not that Landeskog would be much cheaper)

If the Flames are in on Duchene, they are going to have to give up an important piece back to Colorado. Colorado is a team that is apparently rebuilding and want that 2C behind MacKinnon. I think they would be wanting Sam Bennett, and that's when we should be off the radar for Duchene. Sam is a cheaper and younger player, no need for us to go after someone else.

If it was MacKinnon on the block I'd be a lot more interested in seeing the Flames throw a ridiculous package together. But its not, so I just don't see these two teams getting a deal done.

Wow, at first I was unsurprised at the usual "take our junk" style trade proposals that people were putting out there but now I feel like the pendulum's swinging too far the other way. Not only will people construct a deal around Bennett (which makes some sense to me), but they're thinking it's Bennet plus Kylington or Andersson, PLUS Jankowski?
Good lord. I mean, if that's what Sakic is after (and of course there are reports that he's being unreasonable) then that's a pretty easy "no", isn't it?

I'd rather have the team in place so that if the goaltending is good, we win. Teams can win with "questionable" goaltending because questionable goaltenders can get hot in the playoffs.

Hideously disgusting trade from a Flames perspective that likely would cost Treliving his job.
Taking on a huge contract with only 2 years while sending an RFA who can be signed for less than half of Duchene's cap hit. and 2 guys on their ELC. Simply way too much for a guy that scored 41pts last year

Duchene is a 20-25 goal, 50-55 point guy at best. I think Bennett can get there.

That's horrific. Gutting our prospect pool and trading a player that has the potential to be as good as Duchene.

He's a season removed from 30 goals in 76 games. He was a point-per-game player in 2014. When he was Bennett's age he already had a 27 goal, 67 point campaign.
A bad season on the worst team in the league and he still has an average of 60 points/82 games after entering the league as an 18 year old, but somehow he's a 50 point guy while the player with a career high of 36 points is going to be better. Okay.

I would do Brouwer and a fifth round pick...maybe even a fourth round pick but it would have to happen now to make sense.

Duchene had a down year but IMO you'd be absolutely nuts to not trade Bennett for him.

Bennett is 2 years in and seems like he'll produce at least as much as Duchene... He has basically had a 20g 40p season and he has mostly been given 3rd line ice time. Plus he is way more physical. I think his upside is greater than Duchene.
Put in the wouldn't make that deal 1 for 1 camp. Higher wage, softer player, minimal production gain long run.

How do you know he hasn't been right? Hes not saying a player will get traded. He is saying these teams are talking or interested. That's it. He's writes on things he hears might happen. I believe he is very connected and bang on on a lot of what he says.

If Duchene was signed for 5 years it then yeah but Bennett is worth far more than 2 years of Duchene
