Colorado Avalanche won't be tanking for a better draft pick, says Matt Duchene

Quote:
If the Avalanche wins its final 12 games, costing itself a top-five pick in the NHL draft while disappointing fans with the #tankforseth hashtags, Matt Duchene will be OK with that. The Avs will not be tanking for Seth Jones or any other potential savior in the draft, Duchene said.
"A top pick would be great, but I think a positive feeling going into the summer from a great finish would be even better for us," said Duchene, whose team hopes to beat the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night at the Pepsi Center. "I owe it to every guy in this room and to every person who buys a ticket, who pays good money to come see us and cheer us on, to try to do my best.
"People are playing for future jobs and contracts, and these last 12 games may be meaningless for the playoffs, but for each one of us in here they all mean something. We need to help each other. That's how we have to finish here."
