I get railed every time I say this, but Duchene has never worked well with PF types. Iggy might be tried on that line in camp/preseason, but he won't stay there.
I will gladly admit I am wrong if Iggy works well with Duchene (hell, I will be thrilled as Iggy provides the element missing on that line).
That's not exactly true, he showed good chemistry with McGinn last year, and also with Downie who plays the same role as a PF but in a smaller body. Duchene was much pickier about his linemates earlier in his career than he is now, where he's learned to adjust better.
Dutchy has also never had a PF type like Iggy who can read the play and wait for a great pass to snipe.
The closest he had was Stewart, and they didn't work because Stewart had problems with consistency and work ethic, and was unable to adjust himself.
