So the rumored three-team Matt Duchene trade between the Colorado Avalanche, Nashville Predators, and Ottawa Senators that we heard about on Friday wasn’t dead after all. Sunday evening, Duchene was pulled in the middle of Colorado’s game in Brooklyn just before the hockey world was rocked by the kind of blockbuster trade you normally only see in a video game.
Duchene will now get on a plane and make the trip to Stockholm, Sweden that he was planning - though he won’t be doing it as a member of the Colorado Avalanche.
