The overvaluing of Duchene by both the Avs and some fans is insane. The guy has averaged 55-60 points for the last three years (including his projection for this year), is 26, and is on the small side for centers (5'11") and makes 6M. A big part of why the Avs are so bad is Duchene getting dominated by the bigger and better centers on the other teams in the west. He is what he is, a decent 2nd line center. Teams shouldn't and won't give up the moon for this guy.
