I'm trying to neutral on this...and I know points aren't everything. Marner age 19, 48 points., Aho age 19, 32 points Landeskog 5.6m, 23 points. Duchene 6.0m. 36 points.
Individually Reilly and Zaitsev are better Dmen than Barrie (subjective opinion). Slavin might be better than Barrie, and to think Avs get a lottery pick too.
What NHL GM can risk his job by going to his owner and fans give up much for realistically an average player and two better than average players for what supposedly is the asking price for the three Avs.
Even worse for Sakic is if he goes into the off season or especially next September with Landeskog, Duchene and Barrie on the team. Three guys you tried to trade with no takers.
