Duchane's sucked for maybe 2 seasons now? That's like a pro athlete taking time away from the sport just to rest and hoping to come back and come back better. I like Duchane and his skill, but realistically the more you think about it, I don't see how he re-emerges as a star player. You blame his agent, himself and Sakic in all this in hindsight. His agent for pretty much leaking the request. Himself for sulking and not playing his value up. Sakic for definitely sticking to his guns, but ultimately letting it continue for so long. I don't think there would be one GM out there who would let it drag this long. All around blame with everyone involved. Ultimately the guy won't be the same player as he was when he came into the league.
