I see Duchene walking the line as well.  Good for him.  A young kid stuck in a bad situation, but...  
He will make his money anywhere he wants now.  Move on if you choose to.  Duchene is a pro athlete.
As Avs fans we have been sold the same "Youth Movement" for years now, hoping that a few would become superstars (Luck of the Draw).  The best mix for a team is seasoned vets and your young core, but you have to pay all the good ones to stay eventually.

As an Avs fan how would you not want a few of the greats involved in the day to day?  I for one was hoping that Patty Roy was going to be the best coach that ever lived.
