Aaron Portzline: “#CBJ pursuing all avenues to load up offensively, but pecking order appears to be trade first, then FA market. Could be fun day on Saturday … No. 1 pursuit remains No. 1 center, but only guy who fits that bill via UFA is Joe Thornton, who turns 38 on Sunday. Trade more likely. #CBJ … #Avs Duchene makes too much sense. On trade market after down year, but most expect bounce-back. Exceptional faceoff man, which #CBJ need … So what’s the price for Duchene? Have to assume #CBJ D Ryan Murray is part of it.
