Rumor: Sens don't qualify Anthony Duclair

[Kakko Schmakko]

Duclair is going for record number of teams played for?

 

[Just Linda]

If he were willing to get 2.5X2 years he would still be a Sen. They offered (depending on reports, between 3.5 and 4M a year on a multi-year contract.

He wanted more than 5M a year on a 4-5year contract.

I wanted Iceland but I had to learn that was unrealistic, looks like be needs to learn the same lesson.

Kid being a dick,

I don't think it's being a dick to overvalue your services, especially with the market changing significantly due to the pandemic. He seems to have made a bad decision but that's something that lots of people do every day if I go by some of the trade proposals on here.

If there's ever a time to not pay Anthony Duclair 5+ a year for multiple years it's during a possible shortened season with less income.

Dude is fried if he think 1 decent season in 5 years makes him worth 5 million. Bertuzzi has been a better player than him over the last 2 years and he just got 1 arbitrated year at 3.5 million.

Well played, Melnick.

Joke of an organization.

But they have all those draft picks........

 

[cupcrazyman]

Seems like he was just winning gold at the WJC.

Anthony Mantha got 4x5.7 now. Duclair has 10 less points in ~100 more games than Mantha on his career.

Man, if only it were as easy as looking at points.

You really think Duclair is worth 5 million a season?

No, but when we look at points alone, Duclair can often look like a guy who should have a 5X5 contract.

No he doesn't.
Duclair has 2 half ppg seasons out of his last 5.
He's put up: 44 in 81 as a rookie, 15 in 58 as a sophmore, 23 in 56 his 3rd year, and 33 in 74 his 4th year.
His 40 points in 66 games? That's some 3.5-4 million RFA shit right there. At best. I wouldn't gamble on him. At best I give him a prove it deal, because he's never proven anything.

 

[robsenz]

Imagine being an allstar in the NHL to being out of the league the next season...I'm sure someone will sign him, but it won't be for his delusional value.

 

[Burke the Legend]

He probably was looking for a multi-year deal, lots of guaranteed $ to capitalize on his one decent season. The old Benoit Pouliot special. Maybe even the Oilers will deliver again...

Yup, when you consider better players never even got $5 mil who are in a similar situation, Duclair was insane to turn down that offer. Look at Burakovsky, he just put up 45 pts/58 games and PPG+ in the playoffs and he got a 2 yr x $4.9 mil contract.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

If I was Ottawa I would've tried $4M AAV at 8 years.

Thankfully the Oilers are full at the forward position and don't have cap

At D...there is space.

Wow, that’s just....the opposite of a good idea.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Yeah, no.

 

[Draiskull]

Duclair will have to get a deal like Kahun to play next season.
Don't see anyone giving him over 2M. Athanasiou will also not get 2M and Hoffman may have to settle for 3M. Good time to be a GM with cap room and a rich owner.

Wonder what the Ottawa offer was, have to believe it was well over 2 million

IIRC there was a report stating Ottawa offered him 4 x 4 and he turned it down.

If that’s true, he did Ottawa a favour by turning it down.

Shocking if he turned that down, probably would have helped to have an agent

Lol...only Ottawa has the money

 

[BonMorrison]

Feel like he's gonna end up in Florida on a bad contract.
