After the Hayes deal I figured Duchene would get $9-10mil. This seems a little more reasonable, but Nashville being Duchene's top choice obviously helped. Sorry, Montreal. At least he interviewed with you!
 
I'm also a little surprised by the AAV but only because of the nature of free agency. I don't know that I'd actually want to pay Duchene 9-10 million a year.

Trade protection, and another low-negligible state tax situation.

I also think the team salary structure plays a role here, at least when a player seems so sold on a destination.
 
Montreal offered more so he chose the place best for him and his family. I'd pick Nashville to. Also consider hes a musician so that had to factor in.
