I think that Sakic and Roy are really anal on culture change.
That's why ROR is gone, that's why we've heard crazy insane rumours of the team being open to trading Duchene (I don't think it's happening) and I think that's why Barrie hasn't been resigned.
For the life of me I don't know what kind of culture change a team is insisting in going through when they've got a will to trade a d-man who's scored over 100 points over the past 2 seasons, but the will is obviously there since he hasn't been resigned yet.
I don't know anything about Andreas Martinsen, but I see him as a throw in so that both teams have an equal number of contracts at the end of this trade. I'd be cool with this trade but I'd hope Colorado would let Edmonton talk to Barrie about contract terms before making this trade. I'd be looking to lock him up at something like 6M X 6 years.
