Don't get me wrong, Hamonic is perfect for the Flames, but he's not a home run for the Avs.
If Duchene's agent is pissed, I'd tell him to shut up, we'll move him when it makes sense, and if he wants to sit out, then sit out and we'll stop paying him.

He is screwing things up by playing hard ball and it could really backfire if he waits this out. Like I said above, Duchene is 2 years away from being a UFA and a team looking to acquire him will want him for as long as possible.
It also doesn't help your dressing room when you have a guy who clearly doesn't want to be there anymore. Sakic also doesn't really look like he has a defined direction he wants to take this team. Colorado produced some of the lowest win totals ever in the last decade - something has to give.
