https://www.mlive.com/redwings/2020/11/red-wings-prospects-gaining-valuable-experience-in-sweden.html a little summary of our prospects in sweden wherever he plays, he´s taken over. He only needs a few games to adjust and is almost instantly where he needs to be. I really enjoy watching him, his calm demeanor, the awareness what´s going on around him, his strength and positioning there is so much to like... I really can´t wait to see him in the NHL.

Under different circumstances, I would consider a 1 year deal for Duclair. But considering we already have Svechnikov and Timashov ( both 24) already fighting for roster spots, I don't think adding a 25 yo Duclair makes much sense. Especially when he hasn't proven to be significantly better than the other 2, despite being given multiple opportunities. Would rather give Svech and Timo legit shots, and see what they can do. Would be more interested in Hoffman if he was a center.

I suppose you could do the same thing with Duclair, though I wonder how much the blush is off his rose considering he's 25 and has been with like 5 different organizations already. I picked Hoffman because I assume he'd be in higher demand. That and he's just been consistently better, longer, so I feel like he's a safer bet to pump up that trade value before the deadline. Duclair is fine, just a slightly bigger gamble. Hoffman seems like a pretty much guaranteed 2nd round pick and prospect to me.
