At this point, it's hard to see why we wouldn't dangle Duchene in front of Francis. His contract isn't team friendly, but most teams, if they go 7-3, will protect their top 3 centers, so that stands to be a position the Kraken will be scrambling to fill. For them, he'd be penciled in as their #1C or #2C unless they work some mind blowing deal elsewhere. For us, Duchene isn't our #1C. He's more like a 5th to 7th option at C at this point. He's been in and out of the doghouse (like Fiala and Turris went through) with this coaching staff a bit. I find it very disappointing, but he really seems like the square peg in a land of round holes here.
