I don't think that Treliving would want to remove any significant pieces off the roster in trying to get Landeskog, and I will assume that the Avs have no interest in anything else on the Flames roster - outside of taking back a bit of cap so the Flames would be able to fit him in.
If I was Sakic, I would be asking for:
Kylington + Andersson + Gillies. Maybe even a first on top of that.
It would destroy the defensive depth for the future - leaving Hickey and Fox (and Wowkovsky) as 'better than a dime a dozen' type of defensive prospects organizationally. I love what Landeskog could bring. Tough one to stomach though, as I believe that at least one of Kylington or Andersson will end up being a really good cog for the team moving forward, and nicely cost controlled to boot. Not sure I would pull the trigger on that, but Landeskog would look great in a Flames jersey.
