*slow clap*
It's hard to imagine Colorado accepting it because they already have Duchene and Stasney, both needing or already being paid big money. Chances are that if they match, Colorado will find themselves in a Pittsburgh like situation with Crosby/Malkin/Staal except with quality of the team and players much lower in general.
