The Nashville Predators and Barry Trotz decided to shock everybody when they decided they would be buying out Matt Duchene.
Duchene is one of the best Predators players coming off a 56 point season which was second on the Predators in terms of scoring. In 2021-22 he scored 43 goals and had 86 points.
His $8 million per year contract will be paid at a reduced rate for the next six years. This is a shocking move and it will make Duchene the best available unrestricted free agent tomorrow.
