According to Elliotte Friedman, Trotz was considering trading Evgeny Kuznetsov for Duchene. However, the Washington Capitals chose to keep Kuznetsov and were not interested in getting Duchene. Because of this, Duchene ended up being put on waivers and the Predators welcomed Ryan O'Reilly to their team instead.
Is Trotz trying to recreate past success by reuniting with Kuznetsov? After all, they won the Stanley Cup together in 2018.
"Before Nashville signed Ryan O'Reilly, and they might've done it anyway, I don't know, but they were talking to Washington about Kuznetsov, l wonder if it was a Kuznetsov-for-Duchene deal."
