As has been mentioned here before at the draft Sakic could have structured that deal with the Islanders and then flipped Hamonic to the Flames for a 1st round and 2 second round picks. So if he thinks Duchene is worth more than two first rounders and two second rounders, he may be challenged. If he is serious about rebuilding with youth, he could have really stocked the cupboards with a deal like that.
