The Colorado Avalanche finally broke the stalemate and dealt forward Matt Duchene to the Ottawa Senators in a complicated three-way trade that also saw forward Kyle Turris head to the Nashville Predators. In exchange for relinquishing the rights to Duchene, the Avalanche received a whole bundle of assets. They are:
- Forward Shane Bowers, 28th overall pick in 2017
- Forward Vladislav Kamenev, 42nd overall pick in 2014
- Defenseman Samuel Girard, 47th overall pick in 2016
- Goaltender Andrew Hammond, awesome nicknamed “The Hamburglar”
- Ottawa’s 1st round selection in 2018 (top-10 protected)
- Ottawa’s 3rd round selection in 2019
- Nashville’s 2nd round selection in 2018
That’s seven assets headed to Colorado in exchange for just giving up Matt Duchene.
