He's playing much better again this year. Last year was likely an anomaly. Probably not a top six guy, but could be a middle six guy for most of his career. I wouldn't be opposed to giving him a shot.

 

Situations like this are why it's best to keep strong leadership on your team during hard times with many losses.

Arizona will want youth back, there won't be a deal bringing him here unless you want to swap Virtanen for him.

 

Edit: Down vote me all you want, but reading comprehension fails if you think I'm suggesting Virtanen for Duclair.

This might actually be pretty equal value, but when you put it like that, I feel like I'd prefer to keep Virtanen.

I've always liked Duclair. Felt like Arizona hasn't been able to pull the best out of Duclair and I think someone is going to get a steal of a deal for him. Hopefully its us.

 

I'd be willing to look at a Hutton for Duclair deal, or something of similar value.

I feel like the suggestions of Hutton for Duclair are fairly reasonable, though we might have to add a little but more to even it up. Perhaps add a 4th?

I guess it has to be a 5th this year but they might take a 2019 4th.
