Easy for you to say as a non-COL fan. What kind of message does it send to your fans to trade one of your top 3 players for picks? It's a suicidal move. Most people want to keep their jobs. Why on earth would Sakic trade Duchene for picks instead of a key young player? It would set the rebuild and the franchise back by years and no guarantee the picks get you anything as good as Duchene.
C'mon guys. I know we all know picks are valuable but you can't trade one of your top 3 young players for magic beans and sell that to ownership and fans. He'd get crucified. Try to think about it from COL's perspective. This isn't Be an NHL GM mode in a video game. They HAVE to replace Duchene with a key young player or you don't move him.
