Matt Duchene acknowledges that he didn't enjoy the greatest season, but he's unsure how this will affect the contract he receives as a restricted free agent. "Tough year to base what I'm worth, but I also had two pretty darn good years before this, and I'm only going to be better from this experience," Duchene said. "I can't emphasize enough how much I want to be a part of this franchise, but at the same time I have to do what's right for me as well. I really hope things work out, and I'm sure they will. I'm hoping they still have me as a big part of the plan here." Duchene struggled by amassing only 28 points in 58 games this season, but he should be considered one of the best bounce-back candidates next year.
