Would that make sense for either team or both or neither?
May be too rich for some and perhaps underwhelming for others and that all depends on how Phillips translates his game to the bigs, if he can.

That doesn't contain any of what Sakic is reportedly asking for.
If Fox is supposed to be the top 3 defenseman then there's no highly touted prospect and no big time pick in your proposal. Phillips isn't a highly touted prospect and a 3rd rounder isn't a big time pick. Fox isn't guaranteed to be a top 3 defenseman either.
There's no match with the Flames. We don't need Duchene badly enough to pay the price Sakic is asking. Based on the criteria Friedman says we'd need to at least offer Valimaki, one of Gillies/Parsons/Jankowski/Dube/Andersson/Kylington and a 1st or 2nd. Don't see Treliving being interested in at that price.
The team that acquires Duchene is going to be one that is desperate for a skilled centreman. Flames have too many skilled centreman at the moment anyways. Total mismatch of needs.
