Duquette: *laughing* "We could always reconsider. He's got a qualifying offer also out there. I think that has some impact with clubs when they take a look at putting their team together. You know, you have to give up that first round draft pick. And this is the last year where you can get that first round pick. After that of course, the compensation is dilluted, so you're not going to have as attractive a complement when a player who has a qualifying offer signs with another club."
Wait he said it was the last year that you can get that pick? What's he talking about?
