Matt Duchene's next destination remains a mystery as he spends training camp with the Colorado Avalanche awaiting a trade.
According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, as many as eight teams have contacted Avalanche general manager Joe Sakic about Duchene, but no deal appears to be close.
Dreger adds that none of the teams who have reached out feel confident they will acquire the centre, who has been on the trade market since February.
The Ottawa Senators, Montreal Canadiens, Calgary Flames, Vancouver Canucks, Los Angeles Kings, Nashville Predators and Columbus Blue Jackets are all believed to have reached out over the past few days, according to Dreger.
Duchene was asked on Monday if he would stay with the Avalanche if the team did not trade him before the start of the season and he was non-committal in his answer.
“I’m not looking that far (ahead),” Duchene told the Denver Post. “I’m taking one day at a time.”
