ANTHONY DUCLAIR - Right Winger - 23 - $1.65MM Cap Hit - RFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 6/18/19
Ever since he scored 20 goals as a 20 year old, Anthony Duclair has tantilized NHL organizations with his seemingly immense upside but has never actually gotten back to his rookie form. His time in Arizona was marked by inconsistency and an inability to find his own spot in the lineup. He's a tremendously skilled player, with good skating, but he's never been able to put that all together for consistent production. He plays with a good attitude and his consistency issues aren't work ethic related, he just doesn't process the game at a high enough level for his raw talent to translate into goals and points. This lack of processing ability results in his defensive game being quite weak, but he's a scoring winger at heart and there is a place in the NHL for offense-only wingers. If Duclair can be paired with a center with great hockey IQ to get him the puck in scoring situations, Duclair can be the top-6 winger he has the tools to be, but obviously, it's a long shot.
