Yeah, I'm thinking a 2nd gets it done. Maybe throw in an expendable roster player, e.g. Ouellet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted January 9, 2018 To me, it's a classic low-risk, high-reward proposition. If he doesn't pan out, it's not a big deal, because you got him for cheap. If he does pan out, you're a genius. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arizona doesn't really have any leverage and Duclair's stock is low enough that I wouldn't expect a major bidding war over him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highly skilled natural scorer whose defensive game leaves a lot to be desired. Has a reputation for being headstrong and difficult to work with. The raw talent gives him a high ceiling, but he has to grow his game. Same age as AA, similar numbers this season (Duclair, AA), roughly the same ceiling (though, Duclair doesn't play center), roughly the same floor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,961 Report post Posted January 10, 2018 If Duclair would only cost a 2nd and XO, Holland should be all over it. But it's seems a little low... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted January 10, 2018 Would definitely take Duclair for a second plus XO.. preferably a conditional second that turns to next years if we have a top ten pick this year. BUT my instant “yeah I’d do that” thought makes me think it’s not enough.. although, maybe they just really want to get something good for him while they can.

DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted January 10, 2018 Duclair is a smallish winger who can put up points but isn't good defensively. Wings need a center and 2 defensemen, and if they get a winger they need one with size who plays a power game. He might be talented, but he's not what they need.

kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted January 10, 2018 Seabrook washed up, Toews washed up. They have a lot of bad contracts and most of these were locked in after their third Stanley cup if I’m not mistaken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but Duclair on a line with a defensive-minded C, makes him very dangerous! If the asking price is only a 2nd, I'd give it in a instant, plus I'd give them XO (like some have suggested) to sweetin the deal. He's well worth the gamble.
