If you have a player out there and nobody will give you what your asking price is, then odds are pretty good that you are over-valuing your player.
- BINGO!

This is spot on Bingo. We know Habs DESPERATE for a center. The Canes need a skill Center. hawks would love Duchesne to replace Hossa in Top 6. And am sure 2-3 other teams interested. SO....if 5-6 teams all would like to acquire this player....and nobody can package together something sakic wants.....it stands to reason Sakic is looking for way,way too much. With that kinda competitionSakic should have a feel by now what the best offer is.

If this goes on past the trade deadline this year, Sakic gets squat, and this turns into a worse poop-show than the Luongo Fiasco!!!

Infuriating stuff. Keep it coming morons. Oh and by the way that picture of Duchene yesterday was taken out of context. It was a shot for Pepsi Vision where the camera pans around to the player. Almost all hockey players "mean mug" for this shot.

The Sakic lovers club just can't admit that he has screwed the pooch here, this just in you are not getting Subban! Matt is coming off a bad borderline horrible year, now he comes in to "honor his contract" oops stock drops more, so yeah keep him because you are not getting a number one d man, a top prospect and a number one pick. By now the whole league knows nobody is doing that (geez not even Snow), enjoy is 15 goals and 23 assists, enjoy his "injury" that keeps him out and soon you will be lucky to get a one and a prospect. But keep telling us how great Sakic has done.

you guys don't have the D to get the job done and its silly to move DeBrincat for Duchene so there is legit no fit there

Ahaha, you can keep your Subban. Why would Sakic trade a distraction for another one? No thanks. Sakic has done a good job at not fire sale Duchene, he is standing his grounds. Duchene should shut up and play his best hockey for the Avalanche because they pay him great money to do so. I am tired with all these " poor Duchene, he's stuck in this hell hole" bullcrap.

the longer the avs hold onto duchene, the lower his value goes. 2 years until ufa status. If you don't move him before the start of this season it's likely not getting done until the summer, no one is giving you key pieces for a guy going into his walk year.

big trades almost never get done during the season, sakic has about 2 weeks to get it done. If duchene doesn't get moved and has another 40 point season you'll be lucky to get a draft pick and a mid level prospect next summer.

Let's be honest. Avs would happily take Subban for Duchene, but that isn't happening.

That's just it. No one really believes he will have a 40 pt season. That was a fluke. If they can get the drama out of the way and just play hockey his value will do nothing except rise.

Martin hanzal went for a 1st, 2nd, 4th rounder and a prospect as a rental.

I think the value wont be less than that bc might play a couple games with the Avs....come on man dont be crazy...Draft pick nd a mid prospect. ROR went for 2 forwmer 1st rounders, a 2nd rounder and a 2nd round pick with 1 year left on a contract before UFA.

I think they Avs will be fine if they hold ont things a little longer....and ROR wanted no part of being with the Avs, that didnt drop his value either

Islander fans can talk poop about GMs, they are on the path of having the face of their franchise head to UFA.

and its not Sakic lovers club, its defending him for unjustified poop talk bc people lveo to come in here and pile on Sakic...even if things that he didnt do. He gets all the hate, none of the credit.

Avs fans are open that he has to be a better GM but he isnt some moron who hasnt done one good thing the past 4 years. If you take the time to look at the whole and what he has done, Avs fans are happy with the purging and direction hes setting things into post Roy.

But hey (frank) boys come on in here and keep on being sheep saying the same crap over and over again abotu the Avs and Sakic. Your cut copy and paste takes are always welcome

AH YES THERE IT IS.


Can't wait until he's traded to hear about how much everyone hated him and how he slept with everyone's girlfriends/wives.
- BINGO!

Wait this happens outside Boston ?

Question here, if Duchene is traded, who will play on 2nd C spot? Soderberg ? Jost? .... by the way, I have just heard Zadorov is signing on a 2 years deal today.
