After rumors have swirled surrounding Duchene and the team’s interest in him, a fortuitous trip to the capital of Canada allowed GM Jarmo Kekalainen to pull off the deal.
Duchene said to be excited about trade to CBJ. No extension talk at this time. Belief is the Blue Jackets are loading up for playoffs.
