Both players are quality pieces. We're not talking Freddie Sjostrom and Ian White here.

I'm quite high on Fox and Andersson. They are definitely quality pieces. Sounds like our assessment of them is very similar.
I just don't think Sakic can trade Duchene for two prospects who look like probable 2nd pairing dmen. Fox isn't NHL ready. Andersson is pretty close IMO.
I think Sakic has to get a higher calibre young piece back. I think he wants a probable 1st line young player or a probable top pairing dman young player. I don't think in this case two 2nd pairing dmen prospects and a 1st is equivalent.
