A knee-jerk reaction to talk the Senators have held discussions with the Colorado Avalanche about a trade for Matt Duchene: Get 'er done.
Now, that said, we've not yet heard what the Avalanche want in return for the 24-year-old centre, who still has four years (including this one) on a contract that pays him a $6-million salary. It's very doubtful Joe Sakic would settle for Jared Cowen or Patrick Wiercioch and Colin Greening, and there is a list of young Senators that should not be included in the package.
But that list is also becoming shorter and shorter.
