Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, the Nashville Predators need to make a move for Matt Duchene. We’ve been here before, obviously, when rumors dragged on and on about Duchene being unhappy with the Colorado Avalanche. It seemed like we might actually see Duchene in Preds’ gold, when a three-team deal with Ottawa and Colorado was announced. Instead, Duchene ended up with the Senators and the Predators received Kyle Turris.
I wouldn’t change anything about that deal, so don’t go thinking I want to do away with Kyle Turris. In fact, the recent injury suffered by Turris is a large reason Nashville needs a guy like Duchene.
