You know it's a bold trade when you ask for a 1st line center under the age of 26 and don't give up any of: 1) a 1st rounder, 2) any of top 3 defensive prospects and 3) anything of even moderately respectable value to make the trade.

There is absolutely 0 interest in this deal from the Avs' side.

I used offer sheet compensation as the base for the trade value for Duchene... he would be worth a 1st a 2nd and a 3rd. Beaulieu and Scherbak are 1st's and then a 2nd is also included. It's a lot of value... you just don't see it.
