Avs say no as well. Don't get all upset and act superior because Avs fans want to keep their young top center with a ton of potential. It just looks ignorant. An Avs fan did not even propose this.

Duchene to date is a 1B or 2A player at best (based off of his best, one season), coming off a terrible season and injury (not to mention a large portion of the fanbase crucifying him). Kessel is an elite 1A player coming off of a PPG season in the top of the league's ranks.
Don't want to trade him? Fine. He's a big Colorado fan. You want to keep your hometown boy. That's cool, even though it could be argued he's not even one of your 2 best centers.
But denying that the Toronto offer is incredibly more valuable, or making counter-offers of ridiculous proportions (asking for the best rookie defenceman last year in addition to a superior player) is just flat-out delusional, to the point where I am a bit worried about the mental health of some people in this thread.
