Why not sign Duke?
Flahr said, “Some of our signings, what we have coming into the program, if you look at right wing in Iowa or going forward, you’ve got [Alex] Tuch and [Christoph] Bertschy and [Zack] Mitchell and whether [Kurtis] Gabriel’s up or down, maybe him. We’ve got [Adam] Gilmour, who’s going to play center or right wing. [Marc] Hagel. Even [Sam] Anas, whether he’s center or right wing, we haven’t decided.
“We just didn’t know if there was really an opportunity for him.â€
Duke ranked sixth in the WHL playoffs with 24 points in 21 games. He tied for 23rd in the league during the regular season with 33 goals.
At Wild development camps, he looked to have good hands and could really shoot the puck, which is why the Wild drafted him in the first place. But it doesn’t sound like the Wild was happy with his development in certain other areas of the game.
