Well, not exactly. Duchene was moved because he requested a trade, and that didn't happen until 2017. O'Reilly was traded in 2015, and Tyson Barrie was moved just last year. It is more accurate to say that Colorado moved these players because they could afford to, after having drafted the likes of MacKinnon, Raantenen and Makar.
