Not sure what he's expecting but can't say he should give up Duchene for less than what Sakic thinks he's worth.

 

[SI90]

Sakic is an ass

 

[vwg*]

Not good or they just don't match with his delusional value he puts on Duchene? Maybe a bit of both, but mostly the latter

 

[Nakawick]

Duchene should ask for a trade and make it public.

 

[seafoam]

I'm pretty sure Duchene is expecting to be moved. How long until he requests a trade?

 

[DatsyukOwns]

Just lul at Sakic.

 

[MikeK]

This isn't going to end well.

 

[golffuul]

This is just the proverbial, "Last call. Make your best offers."

 

[Jozay]

avs are gonna end up being screwed over

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Sakic is a joke and is driving me insane as a fan.

 

[These Are The Days]

lol Sakic. I gotta give him credit, he's sticking to his guns and not letting Duchene go one for one. He's literally trying to pull of an HF Boards trade

 

[Mortiest Morty]

When is he going to be fired? Such an awful GM, even disregarding this entire Duchene saga.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Duchene should ask for a trade and make it public.

This. Poor Duchene. He doesn't need to suffer more.

 

[JoemAvs]

Problem is that Sakic simply is completely out of his depth...

I don't mind him not trading Duchene but why the HELL do you let his name get dragged through the rumor mill for over a year ??

No one else does that. I don't even think that he ever really wanted to trade Duchene unless he gets his socks blown off by an offer. And that is fine.
But the way he went about that is simply not acceptable...

I mean that guy simply has 0 filter and no clue about PR and how that affects his players...


I mean he just stated in a postdraft interview that they would have taken Heiskanen over Makar if they would have had the chance...

Who does that?

[Crede777]

Again, I don't think we know what the offers were.

That said, if the Avs don't improve this year, remember when he held on too closely to Duchene.

 

[Pens x]

Sakic had handled the Duchense situation gracefully.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Unacceptable

 

[Brock Radunske]

They're not good because his ask is too high and Duchene hasn't been producing

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

If I am Duchene ,, I make it clear that I want out after this gong show

They have literally been kicking him out door for months and now say ,, Well stay now because we cant get anyone better then you

Sounds like a #### relationship I was once in

 

[vwg*]

If the offer from the Islanders was true... wow, that's going to look like the steal of the decade once Sakic actually trades him.

 

[dogbazinho]

Well thats a shame.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

That offer from the Isles wasn't enough?

Me thinks you're aiming higher than you're ever going to get

 

[Wolfpuck]

I feel bad for Duchene having to go through this crap. Sakic needs to come back to reality about this.
