I'm sorry but how much is Duchene getting paid?  $6 million a year to act like this?  What exactly is wrong with what Sakic is doing?  The team was the WORST in the league last year which means that no one is safe from trade possibilities but good ol' Duchene seems to think he's special.  I think he's been hanging around too many people telling him that he's better than everyone else and should be treated differently.  Well, unfortunately for Duchene, that's not the case when your team was as bad as the Avs were last year.  Also, this attitude coming from a "veteran" is not exactly setting a good example for the new guys trying to make the team.  Grow up Duchene.  This is a business and he would get the EXACT same treatment from any other team in the same situation.  If Sakic can trade him, fine but Sakic not being able to trade him should tell you something.  Yes, maybe he's asking too much but even that should tell you something about how much other teams value Duchene.
