Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post, is convinced that it’s time for the Colorado Avalanche to trade 21-year-old pivot Matt Duchene.

“This hockey town isn’t big enough for Paul Stastny, Matt Duchene and Ryan O’Reilly,” writes Kiszla. “Three outstanding centers are one more than Colorado needs. Somebody needs to go.”

The somebody he identifies is Duchene, who Kiszla apparently believes could be dealt straight-up for an elite goal-scoring winger like Rick Nash or Bobby Ryan.
