Stars forward Matt Duchene is an unrestricted free agent this summer but wants to stay with the Dallas Stars, the team that supported him during the toughest...
Duchene is still battling emotions from his Nashville buyout, but said his teammates and coaches have provided the support he needed.
The veteran forward, who said he was “blindsided” last offseason when Nashville bought him out of the last three years of his contract, arrived in Dallas and seemed to have no trouble moving on.Duchene proved himself as a key acquisition for Dallas, but as the latter half of the season rolled around, he started to feel the weight of all he went through.“I lose the end of my finger in March last year,” he said. “I had three surgeries, get blindsided, end up a free agent, sign here.
Duchene is among the longest-tenured players in the league without winning the Stanley Cup, passing the 1,000-game mark earlier this year. He’s a perfect example of how difficult it is to win the trophy. In 15 seasons in the league, he has only advanced past the first round of the playoffs twice.
