Moved him for what exactly? The same return Vanek got? No thank you. The trade market was crap.In free agency some team is going to offer him $7-$7.5 million.
He's gone.
Should have moved him at the deadline. Another mistake by Sakic.

Those close to the #AVS aren't expecting the team to re-sign Paul Stastny.
Let's get it going guys.

Duchene and MacKinnon can't do what Stastny can but are great at other things. There is both room and a need for Stastny on Avs.
Guys... Strickland was the first to report Miller and Ott scratched from the Buffalo game and then the first one to report the trade to the Blues.
He hits some, he misses some. Hes involved and reports rumors. Some people dont understand that so if he get a couple things wrong people freak out and hate him forever because he got their hopes up.
Hes a beat-writer. Not a fact checker for the AP.
Wow a beat writer reported on a trade that actually happened? Dater has done that too. Hell, he's the one that reported the lockout was over!

Nothing has changed. Stastny was never going to re-sign before July 1st. His agent would be downright Pejorative Slured if he signed anything before the market opens.
Not sure why everybody begins to panic over a Strickland rumor. Same status as the past year. Avs want to keep him, Stastny wouldn't mind staying, but any person with half a brain in his shoes would wait until free agency. Let's calm down.
A quote by Staz on NHL.com about his late chance on Bryz and his feelings after the game:
"It nicked his shoulder," Stastny said. "It should have gone in. It's one I'll be thinking about for a while. It was back and forth all game. That's how the series was. Once overtime hit it could have gone either way again. It's frustrating, it's tough to take right now. In a couple days I'll digest it and take a look back and be proud of what we started and what we have to keep building on."
This to me, even after this loss, says that he plans on staying in Colorado.
That said, I fully believe that Stastny re-signs with Colorado.
I am very much in the other camp. I would be pleasantly surprised to see Stastny re-sign with the Avalanche, but I expect him to sign elsewhere.
