Unless they covet Brouwer and Stajan, I dont see any way that this thing gets done.

Giving a quality, young pending-UFA centre in Backlund as a piece for a quality, young pending-UFA centre in Duchene actually is the basis of a good deal. Not sure who said Backlund was untouchable. You? Are you Treliving?
If I were Colorado, I'd wait until the trade deadline and secure an absolute ransom from the highest bidder then.
