He was always a treat to watch on the ice, but I can't blame him for leaving. His time here was short, but sweet.
Best centre we ever had.
Put Duchene between Alfie and Heatley and who knows what could have happened with his speed. We had Duchene during two losing (horrible) seasons and look what he accomplished.Both Yashin and Spezza had more impressive seasons with this team imo, but he was great non the less.
Too bad we couldn't keep him and all the other talent around.

Not sure if that really shows character.I appreciate the fact he was one of the most skilled players to ever dawn the Senators crest.
He would continue to go to practices knowing full well he wouldn’t be on the team in a few weeks. Shows character. He could have just sat at home awaiting a trade.
I was grasping at straws. He was a treat to watch for sure though.Not sure if that really shows character.
It would not look good on him to sit out waiting for a trade when his arrival go Ottawa was due to a trade request.
Has anyone read the piece from former NHLer Marc Savard.....he has the strongest impression that Matt is gone for now, but will be back as a UFA with Ottawa. He seems pretty convinced. I want to add that in the exit interviews last night, Matt also said that we will see what will change by summer with the stability of this franchise....maybe, and here is hoping, that there will be some addition of new partners and this will create stability and cash and Matt makes a ltd with us......fingers crossed.
Here's hoping Dorion's master plan was to convince Stone, Duchene, Karlsson and Dzingel to get traded but not extend, and then re-sign in Ottawa after the draft...
Sounds like something Eklund would dream up...
Nah, that just makes our pick lower should they go on a run to the ECFDuchene was so impressive to watch but not sure if you could say that watching the 33,34,35 year old version with an extended contract.
Hope the Jackets make a long run in the playoffs for Duchene's sake. Something that will be totally new for him.
