Difference being Panarin set on testing the market and ability to re-sign Duchene?A trade for UFA Duchene seems odd if they turn around and trade Panarin. Just swapping guys. Figured they were going for it.

it's been speculated quite a bit that they may trade Panarin and use the assets they get to try and replace him. this way, they don't lose him for nothing but still give themselves a chance to make a run in the playoffs.A trade for UFA Duchene seems odd if they turn around and trade Panarin.

trading away top prospects for a rental and keeping Panarin would be a disaster for themI guess I didnt factor Duchene actually staying in Columbus. Not sure why he would do that and not test the market but if that is what you guys are hearing.

Hearing Duchene happy to play the role of the rental but as of now no talk about any contract extension between @BlueJacketsNHL and Duchene. Things could change but early indication is Panarin will not be traded in hopes of a long playoff run.
whoa@TSNBobMcKenzie: I believe it’s a first rounder, Abramov and Davidsson for Duchene and Bergman plus a conditional first to OTT if Duchene signs in CBJ.
And if they trade him they set the market for Panarin’s value. Genius.Pierre Lebrun: "Unless a team really steps up, CBJ content to keep Panarin and go for it."
I have tickets to Saturday’s CBJ/SJ game. At least I’ll get to see the most talented CBJ team ever for at least one night.A trade for UFA Duchene seems odd if they turn around and trade Panarin. Just swapping guys. Figured they were going for it.
Dorion, "what is draft pick protection?"So Duchene (rental) and a 2nd Round Pick in Bergman - for a 1st and Abramov (a 3rd) and some Swedish dude who was a 6th and still over in Sweden. Pick seems protected in top 3. Not sure if there is protection on the 2020 1st.
Hard to say we have a real winner - but CBJ needs to win. I thought Duchene was heading for Nashville and still might in the offseason - he loves country music.
A 2nd feels a little high, but Bowey is legitimately terrible. Wouldn't surprise me if Jensen starts in 3rd pair, but maybe moves up to replace Niskanen as the right-hander in the second pair.@DarrenDreger: Washington acquires Nick Jensen from Det

Never thought Jensen was anything special but he's been good this year. Looks like a nice return for Detroit though.@DarrenDreger: Washington acquires Nick Jensen from Det

Well said - I've been waiting for Bowey to turn the corner...first last year, then this year when he started getting ice time. He's been....lack-luster. I'm fine with him going. I don't know much about Jensen, but it can't be worse than Bowey. The only thing that hurts a little is the 2nd - but we'll see what happens.A 2nd feels a little high, but Bowey is legitimately terrible.

Enjoyed last night's game in TO and feel like with about 20 games left the Caps are about to step on the gas and see if they can start playing championship-level hockey again. They've been kind of cruising most of the season. To me that lack of genuine effort has shown up most on the PK which has been truly terrible. So I loved the addition of Hegelin there, and now they've shored up the D which has been lackluster all year. If nothing else, they've taken a couple of low-risk steps toward plugging their biggest holes and look to be a better team than they were 2 days ago.

Nick Jensen signs $10M, four-year deal with #caps hours after being acquired in a trade. Aggressive.
@TSNBobMcKenzie: Zuccarello off to DAL, pending trade call, in exchange for 2nd round pick in 2019 and third round pick in 2020. The 2nd rounder becomes a first if DAL wins two playoff rounds. The 3rd becomes a first if DAL re-signs Zuccarello. https://twitter.com/darrendreger/status/1099475864906022914@DarrenDreger: 2nd and 3rd conditional picks to NYR for Zuccarello from Dallas.
looks like it snapped like a twigJeff Skinner had to crawl off ice after ankle injury

after all these other deals, that’s it?@DarrenDreger: 2nd and 3rd conditional picks to NYR for Zuccarello from Dallas.
Yeah the conditions pretty much ensure a rentalafter all these other deals, that’s it?
edit: just saw the conditional piece which helps
Stalock could play forward. still not sure why they don’t put him in off the bench for every overtime.Dubnyk’s puck handling continues to be atrocious, especially as compared to backup G Alex Stalock’s ability as a virtual 3rd D with his clears.

Did Simmonds shoulder hit his head or did Simmonds helmet hit his head and the his head hit glass.@BroadStHockey: Simmonds' hit on Dumoulin. https://twitter.com/BroadStHockey/status/1099484959583232001/photo/1

Did Pierre have to leave the ice to change his pants?At least they got the obligatory Crosby goal out of the way early.
I love that orange fur ball. We had Township day here back in October in my town and Gritty was a surprise there. This was back in Oct almost a month since he was introduced and he was throwing candy and hit my co worker in her face. Gritty tried to apologize until I told him no don't she's a penguins fan and likes Crosby. On top of that to ice the cake I said Gritty she's also a Patriots fan and loves Brady. Next thing I know Gritty grabs a handful of candy and wounds up and fires a fastball at her. It was great.@NHLGIFs: .@GrittyNHL!!!! #StadiumSeries https://twitter.com/NHLGIFs/status/1099475158090346496/photo/1
