If I were Colorado, I'd wait until the trade deadline and secure an absolute ransom from the highest bidder then.

Colorado has been trying to secure an absolute ransom from the highest bidder.
They turned down Hamonic, 1st round pick, 2nd round pick offer (or something close to this) from the Islanders this season before they traded Hamonic to CGY.
It's become crystal-clear that GM's are not lining up to play ball at Sakic's asking price, and why would they? Avs pretty much have zero leverage in this situation and Duchene's value deteriorates the longer they hold on.
