Building A Case for Matt Duchene: A deeper look into the numbers
I find myself on the edge of a divide amongst Colorado Avalanche fans. Matt Duchene is being shopped around the league and most fans have taken a hard stance in the ‘trade him’ or ‘keep him’ camps respectfully. Initially, I fell into the ‘keep him’ camp and wouldn’t have suggested trading Duchene myself. However with such a large proportion of the fan base of the belief that moving on from Matt was the smarter move for the franchise I decided that to truly base my opinion of Duchene in fact and not just my intuition I would have to analyse the quantifiable data we have available about his career.
