The Columbus Blue Jackets and Nashville Predators have tabled trade offers for Matt Duchene, while other teams continue to call Colorado Avalanche president and general manager Joe Sakic in regards to the forward, TSN's Darren Dreger reports.

At this point, Dreger adds, Sakic remains in waiting mode in hopes of the best possible offer.

Duchene is believed to have been on the trade block for quite some time as the Avalanche look to turn the page on an abysmal 2016-17. He's even gone on record saying there's a good chance something happens on that front this summer.

Since being drafted third overall in 2009, Duchene has averaged 0.73 points per game.
