Just curious, at this point with what Brisson/Duchene have hinted at, what would Sakic say to them privately that he hasn't said publicly?
Publicly he's "played it safe" by saying "He's under contract, I expect him to be here". I'm just curious what you think would be different in a private conversation?
He's not going to beg for him to come to camp, he's not going to guarantee a trade, etc.
As far as I am aware, there already has been a conversation, a while back, that the Avs are working to move him. Now, criticize how hard they've "worked" in trying to move him all you want--it's absolutely warranted. But I fail to see how Sakic not calling Duchene or any other player under contract and letting them know they're expected to report to camp is anything headshake worthy
