Breaking News, Duchene is staying put!!!!

Created by: Cleits82
Team: 2017-18 Colorado Avalanche
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 14, 2017
Published: Sep. 14, 2017
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
I was at media day today and I overheard a conversation between Joe & Matt where they cleared the air, and Sakic explained the utter lac of quality offers. They agreed that Matt would stay in Denver and they'd put this behind them.

Expect an announcement tomorrow indicating there will be no trade.

Joe also worked this deal with Vegas so they don't lose a Defender for nothing on waivers.

And Zadorov meets the Avs in the middle on a contract and reports for his physical tomorrow.

This is actually the whole point......media and fans are speculating on Duchene/Landeskog/Barrie & now Zadorov being traded (me included), however the thing most people miss is Sakic doesn't have to trade any of them. He can just say thanks but no thanks they're staying in Denver.

Still it's fun to speculate, right?

Not really. Rumors do have an effect.

Canucks could not retain Kesler or Luongo in the end and were forced into 2 losing trades. With Kesler in particular, if ownership had let go one season earlier it would have been Vatanen + Rakell + 10th overall (Nick Ritchie) vs. Sbisa + Bonino + 24th oa (Jared McCann)

If the trade is going to happen, it's almost never worth delaying it. Start putting the player out in ways that showcase their best parts, but make the deal before the buyers walk away.


Keep in mind, if Duchene now turns into a locker room cancer -- there isn't one GM in the league that would hold it against him in any future contract.

Not really sure how that makes sense. What I'm saying is regardless of how much speculation there is/was, Sakic never had to trade him. Whether Sakic handled it correctly (IMHO he didn't, he was downright cretinous) is another aspect entirely. That's the only reason the rumour mill can have effect. If your GM acts like a total moron. The Kesler & Luongo deals aren't remotely similar.
