He is as solid defensively as they come. Not a particularly physical Dman, but plays the angles very well & rides the man out of the play every time. When paired with an offensive minded partner, he minds the store, makes good passes, & rarely makes a mistake. Can jump into the play, but shutting the other guys down is his game. It's been a pleasure watching him the past 4 years since being picked 10th overall (right after Danault & 8 picks before Huberdeau). Hate to see him go, but don't think that there's a team out there that wouldn't be improving their top 4 by adding him.
I think it will be tough as I think all teams that would be considered buyers already have their 20's
Pretty much... thus why I mentioned the whole "demand" thing. I think Duropos is probably worth a 1st but I don't see Quebec, Halifax, BLB or even B-C or PEI trading for him...

Strangely I could see the Titan make an offer for both Durepos and Tesink.

I don't envy the Titans position right now. You guys need to sell and get younger for long term success, but you also need to sell tickets to stay above water.
You can't afford to rebuild but you can't afford not to.

Attendance is already bad this season.... I don't think selling would make it "out of control" to the point where the team would move out after this season... It's a matter of what can they sell this year, that would make them great next season? The demand for their 20's is unknown at this point....

I wonder who Halifax will go after... Surely both will be high end players...
That's the hope. Halifax is such an unknown next year. There's a small chance they could be even better than this year (If MacKinnon and/or Drouin are sent back... With the probable draft lotto who knows.), If Eichel decides to report or not, depending on if we use both those Import picks and who we get with them, at the same time we could be a middle of the pack team if those things go south for us

I think MacKinnon is gone, Drouin will play 9, maybe he sticks... Depends on what he does this summer.
I think Eichel reports.
The import picks are X factors.... Will go a long way in determining the teams direction.
Halifax has their pick afterall XD.
