With the opening day of NHL Training Camp today, questions circled around Colorado Avalanche center Matt Duchene and whether or not he would report. He has long been the subject of trade rumors with teams including the Columbus Blue Jackets. Today, we got confirmation that Duchene would arrive in camp and practice with the team.
Duchene update: Plan is to attend camp, but sources say both sides remain committed to trade as best case and will continue to work on it.

As teams continue to try to pry the center out of Colorado, look for the Blue Jackets to remain interested.
