I think for a deal for Duchene, one of Valimaki, Kylington or Andersson would have to be going back. Don't think Sakic wants to take a chance on a college FA potentially not signing there (like Will Butcher a few weeks ago) especially for his most valuable trade chip.
Andersson + Gillies + Salary (Stajan)?
Don't know if that's even enough but with the season less than a week away, the time is ticking for Sakic and he might be desperate enough to pull the trigger.

I proposed any D prospect+Gillies+Ferland and thought it was a fair offer so we tend to agree on value.
Not sure if the Avs would want the safer prospect in Andersen or the prospect with higher ceiling in Fox?
As others have said if that is all it would take Euchene would be somewhere else already.
