Weekend Brunch: Colorado Avalanche still looking to move Matt Duchene

The Colorado Avalanche are still looking to move Matt Duchene but apparently haven’t gotten very far. “Playoff contenders like the Nashville Predators were reported to be after Duchene's services around the time free agency kicked off early in July, and that was after other teams (see: Chicago Blackhawks) already wrapped up blockbuster deals of their own. Then, with the top crop of veterans off the market, reports surfaced that Colorado's asking price for the 26-year-old Duchene was "definitely the holdup" in trade talks, with the Avalanche apparently seeking multiple first-round draft picks in return.
