Just catching up on last thread, but your math is pretty off here. Murray is 1.5 years older than Z, not 6 months.Balthazar said:Ridiculous. Murray isn't Siemens, he's better than Zadorov and only 6 months older.
I'm starting to get angry to Sakic. Duchene is my favourite player and a big reason I became as huge fan of the Avs as I am today. But he needs to be gone. Do the deal and be done with it.

If the Avs like Murray, than that's fine, but the other pieces in the deal need to really make up for it. Injuries stunted a lot of his development in the most crucial years of his career.
Duchene isn't getting traded.
Sakic is afraid to trade him.
Mopey Matt will be on this team all year, further lowering his value.
He'll walk for free when his contract ends.

There we go.
It's on the front page where everyone can see it.
Maybe now it doesn't need to be posted on every page, every day.
Pat is a good player, but he showed serious signs of slowing down last season, if his legs go out (and he heavily depends on his speed) he will be an anchor.
Starting??? I've been angry with him for a year.I'm starting to get angry to Sakic. Duchene is my favourite player and a big reason I became as huge fan of the Avs as I am today. But he needs to be gone. Do the deal and be done with it.
I don't agree. There is no "must" in it. Duchene said he is OK with either being traded or stay with the team. Trade him when return is really good. I agree with Dater article on BSN. jackets waited for good deal for Nash and they got it: Brandon Dubinsky, Artem Anisimov, Tim Erixon and the Rangers� first-round pick in 2013. For Anisimov they got Saad, for Saad they got Panarin.
I want similar deal for Duchene. I'm ok with Murray+ Dubois+1st as was rumored or Carlsson instead of Murray even better if it's +Carlsson.
Would you be happy for some crappy or at best so-so return? I wouldn't.

Do you think he can hit 35 points? I'm wondering if they should put Wilson as #2 c.

Dater says Avs aren't trading Barrie. Don't know if that's fact or speculation but hopefully it's true. Would make sense if the only reason his name was out there was because the Avs were planning on adding Shatty and once that didn't happen it changed.
People seem to forget that while Duchene has publicly stated he's okay moving on, he hasn't put in a formal trade request.
I still say the best move is to keep him and work it out, but either way this needs to end and soon.

When current teammates are saying it's best for both parties to move on then it's really time to move on. Duchene "must" go.
You can't seriously be putting that much weight behind what a kid who is barely an NHL player, and had been in that locker room all of a couple of months is saying? You also clearly don't know that Ghetto had a habit of running his mouth in Montreal as well. Beyond that it's also someone who has English as a second language. Or maybe you do realize this stuff, but who cares right? It fits your narrative.
Duchene is not the first player to deal with this kind of thing. Chances are he moves on, but it's not unheard of for the team and player to move forward. The media and the fans are making more of this than any of the people actually experiencing it.
Ghetto? It was Barberio who commented on Duchene.
