Report: At least five teams have contacted Ottawa regarding Matt Duchene
After it was made public that the Ottawa Senators would rather sign pending unrestricted free agent Mark Stone and trade Duchene, many teams have demonstrated interest.
Ottawa GM Pierre Dorion left for Winnipeg on Sunday to scout players at the Manitoba Moose and Milwaukee Admirals game. Both Winnipeg and Nashville are the reported front-runners to acquire Duchene's services with Columbus not that far behind.
The Sun also reported that the Senators offered Duchene an 8-year, $64 million contract and were ultimately turned down by Duchene's camp. The reason why Ottawa would rather sign Stone over Duchene is due to the fact that they may want to offer Stone the captain role next season according to The Sun.
If you were the GM for the teams mentioned, what would you offer the Sens for Duchene?
