Rumor: Sens don't qualify Anthony Duclair

[YYCLetangStan]

Put him on Crosby’s wing. Maybe he takes a discount for the shot of winning?

 

[Merrrlin]

Honestly, I don’t really think this is a bad decision.

Duclair isn’t worth 3+ million right now, he needs a better track record. He’s been wildly inconsistent and when he’s not producing, he’s a net negative.

 

[Canadian Game]

I guess he just doesnt want to go back to ottawa

Without an agent, I don’t know how he expects to get what he wants anywhere.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

$1.65 just the minimum he'd be offered?

 

[Mr Positive]

I imagine the Oilers will put in an offer for him to be on McDavid's wing

 

[Bouboumaster]

It's time to come back home, Duclair!

He won't. Look at his track record, young and on what his 4th team already?

Soon to be 6th

 

[habamillions]

Soon to be 6th

Oh god worse than i thought haha

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Yeah I have no idea why the Senators wouldn't even take him to arbitration. It makes no sense not to take it at least that far.

There must be something going on behind closed doors that they really don't like.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

About to get on his 6th team in 7 seasons. Something's up with this guy

Hes got a massive chip on his shoulder. First round talent draft in the 3rd because of personality issues.

He always thinks hes persecuted. He always thinks coaches are against him, players, etc..

He doesnt listen to advice. He was dropped by an agent even as I recall.

The whole reason the Sens were able to get him was because Columbus gave him away just to be rid of him for the locker room.

Hes not good defensively and scores too inconsistently to be a permanent scoring line player. He will end up on his what..7th team before his 26th birthday.

This was the perfect opportunity for him. I would say this should be a "wake up call" but hes had 5 of those and none of them have worked, so there is no chance he changes now.

Best of luck. I wish him the best.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Back to Columbus to be reunited with his BFF Torts.

 

[HansonBro]

Maybe he just wanted out of that shit show

 

[SpezDispenser]

What? Gotta be more to this

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Career 0.46PPG, 0.22GPG. Had 23G/17A in 66GP last season 0.6PPG. while playing top 6 minutes.

Arbitration award in the $3.5m range wouldn't be shocking.

Didn't he get most of those goals/points in the first part and then cooled off?

 

[Merrrlin]

I imagine the Oilers will put in an offer for him to be on McDavid's wing

Why? I would expect better wingers on McDavids line.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Yeah hard to blast Sens here if they already came to conclusion that no agreement could be reached considering they are talking directly to Duclair who is acting as his own agent

 

[LMFAO]

If someone signs Duclair to a huge deal they will regret it.. probably 1/4 into year one.

What in God’s name are you blathering about? He played well in Ottawa last season.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Yeah, he did cool off after Christmas.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

With his talent, you think 5 organizations are all wrong on this guy?

I sincerely hope he gets another chance, but if you can't even get qualified by a cheap and, frankly, desperate, Ottawa franchise, you're starting to hit rock bottom.

 

[Sureves]

Top goal scorer on the Sens

Top points per game on the Sens

Third in points on the Sens (4 points behind leader)

This is a disgusting management of assets. If he doesn't want to play here then so state, otherwise this is a terrible decision.

He played well in Arizona one year too and they still sent him down to the minors. You think Chicago walked away from him for no reason?

 

[Langdon Alger]

Should have sold high on him and traded him before the deadline.

I don’t care about that. You said coming to Ottawa should have been a wake up call for him. He scored 23 goals. You don’t think he played well in Ottawa at all? Sure, he’s been inconsistent in his career, but he certainly picked it up in Ottawa. If you don’t realize that, I don’t know what to say.
