He might. It's just a tough situation. The guy was drastically overpaid by the Avs (based on his production) for five years ($6.6m). He comes back this year and has a great year, and now it's time for his payday again.
From the Avs perspective, they got burned on his contract once, and don't want it to happen again. They also don't feel he's worth more than Duchene, who is making $6m per year.
From Stastny's perspective, there's no doubt he'll get more elsewhere than what the Avs can give him.
It just sucks.
