Duchene has been the one extensively shopped. Landy and Barrie's (and even Varly's) names have shown up, but their names have mostly come up in teams approaching the Avs. Duchene's name has been put out there by the Avs.

That said, everybody else has handled this better. Even when it comes to trade requests, others have handled it better.

Come on, that Duchene picture is hilarious. We need some laughs at a time like this.

I can't even look at or listen to the guy anymore without getting instantly annoyed, so I feel you there.

But yeah I laughed at that Dutchy photo.

I think the media has definitely blown up Duchene's situation more.

But omg shut the front door.. We agree (kind of) on something? lol



I'm not saying Sakic hasn't handled it like a stubborn stupid head by any means though. For as much as Sakic won't comment on stuff, hes commented too much at the wrong times obviously.

I think Duchene being in the media more (before the last deadline) has been more of a response to his name simply being out there more. This summer and now though... the leaks are coming from somebody in the situation, the no-show to the golf tournament was on purpose, today's media scrum was on purpose,etc.

He looks like a hostage. Too bad it wasn't one of those pictures where they have to hold up their name on a sign. Could've made for some fun photoshop opportunities.

Maybe the attitude won't be we are on crazy pills for not just assuming things will get done as they should anymore. It's pretty tough to trust and give the benefit of the doubt.

Yup. I dont think my anxiety when it comes to contract time has been alleviated by this. Only made worse. The PTSD from ROR hasnt gone away and the Z situation makes it worse im afraid. Over pay Stuart, Francois but cant find some compromise with Z. Its a ****in joke.

I will always be an Avalanche fan....however, I'm looking forward to following the entire league this year rather than the AVs games. In fact, after the season opener I will probably not watch the AVs much live at all. Will watch some of the games y'all recommend as good performances for the kids after they get loaded in the archives of NHL.tv.

I'm just entirely too burned out by this "management" group to invest that much time or emotions into the AVs right now. My passion has always been hockey first, AVs second...that's what made putting up with the lockouts tolerable. I'm hoping it will make the future season good as well.

There was no Letter on EJ's jersey.

Looks like the 2nd A is still up for grabs.

Yeah, I think I'm more interested in seeing how Druin does in Montreal, how the Vegas team looks, and stuff like that than I am the Avs.

I'm still excited for the season. I wanna see how Jost, MacKinnon, Rantanen, Compher do. And how/if Varly bounces back with his long time goalie coach.

And Zadorov, but....
