There's a lot of teams who still believe in their playoff chances, but the Colorado Avalanches aren't one of them. Joe Sakic wants to take advantage of the situation where there's few sellers for the number of buyers and ask a boatload for his trading chips.

Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch writes that if the Avalanche are going to deal Duchene, not only will Sakic want a top-four defenceman, a top prospect and a No. 1 pick in return, the indications are there has to be more in the deal for Colorado.

While this sounds like a crazy idea for the Red Wings to acquire Matt Duchene, this is the kind of speedster that could go hand-in-hand with our own fastest skater, Dylan Larkin.

It's impossible to know for sure what Sakic could want from the Red Wings, but according to Bruce Garrioch, it could look like this: Mike Green or Jonathan Ericsson (top-4 defenceman) + Evgeni Svechnikov or Anthony Mantha (top Red Wings prospect) + a first round pick. 

What do you think, is it something the Wings can afford?
