Not true at all. The Avs are playing poorly so does that mean they will have trouble giving Duchene away? Most teams will look at the Flames and conclude that he's a victim of a team that's just not playing well or getting good goaltending. I do believe the window on him having solid value is small so the trade would have to be made before the deal kicks in (not sure if his new deal has a no movement clause). It's going to be a salary for salary deal so the Flames will have to take on another contract but as long as it's a younger player that fits where the organization is headed I think it's a deal that can be made as he was in the Norris discussion last season and guys like that don't become available often.
