I don't see Duclair as a Bergevin type player at all. In his draft year he was tagged as having character flaws. Don't know if he's worked through that but his body of work at the NHL level has been extremely inconsistent.
I also wonder why the Rangers gave up on him so soon. I know they got Yandle for him but I find that it says alot.
Roussel and Shaw freaking hate each other! This would be funny...
Would anyone here look at moving McCarron for Duclair?
Duclair has no value what so ever.
I say "Bergevin move" because he appears to have no qualms about trading for, or acquiring perceived 'attitudes' at a lower cost and giving them a second chance (Semin, Kassian, Radulov), also reportedly has/had some level of interest in Kane.
He likes to buy low, not saying Duclair would necessarily come cheap though.
He scored 20 goals and over 40 points just last season as a 20 y/o rookie. Of course he has value.

He sucks this year in the NHL AND AHL...I would give Matteau for him.
A player has never - in the history of the game - struggled in their sophomore year... Ever!
If I wanted anyone on TB it would be Palat
Defensively responsible playmaker would work well with Chucky
For once, I agree with you
Sure, but that badly ?
Anyway, McCarron for him. That's crazy.
I would do Hudon + 4th for Duclair.

I'd like to give Hudon a real shot on our team before giving up on him. Swap him for Ghetto or Carr and that's a done deal

Wow! You know you've finally made it as an HF poster when you get Jaffy's approval! Maybe I could be as fortunate one day!
Hudon is still an intriguing prospect. He still has NHL upside. At this point, Ghetto & Carr barely have any mystique has prospects anymore. They've played over 50 games and what you see is pretty much what you get.
I'd be curious to see Duclair under Julien rather than a guy like Tippett.
Don't think Duclair is solid between the ears and I question his Hockey Sense and Hockey I.Q.
