So Matt Duchene is on the move again. This morning the 28-year old pending unrestricted free agent was traded from Ottawa to the Columbus Blue Jackets. A deal that is nothing but good news for the Colorado Avalanche.
We all know by now that the Avalanche own Ottawa’s 2019 first round pick thanks the Duchene deal that went down 15 months ago. It was an incredibly valuable asset to begin with and now it’s worth even more.
Not only have the Senators traded away one of their best two players, but they are getting a return that won’t help the team on the ice this season.
