Duchene was teammates with Foote's father, former NHL defenseman Adam Foote, and lived with the family during his first two seasons with the Colorado Avalanche. Foote was only 10 years old when Duchene moved in with his family. The two would play mini stick games alongside Foote's younger brother, Nolan. Duchene also occasionally helped coach Foote's youth hockey team. The Predators acquired Foote and five draft picks from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for forward Tanner Jeannot on Sunday.
