Matt Duchene doesn't think the Colorado Avalanche will simply give up on the season. At this point, from a franchise standpoint, they're almost incentivized to lose because it will give them a better shot of obtaining the first overall pick. That doesn't mean the players have nothing left to play for though. "A top pick would be great, but I think a positive feeling going into the summer from a great finish would be even better for us," said Duchene. "People are playing for future jobs and contracts, and these last 12 games may be meaningless for the playoffs, but for each one of us in here they all mean something. We need to help each other. That's how we have to finish here." Colorado is currently last in the NHL with a 12-20-4 record.
