Has he even established himself yet?

Outstanding rookie season and then he's on the block. Red flags anyone?

Incredibly skilled. Elite speed. His effort level has been fantastic.

I have no idea why they would trade him other than our coach being a sack of ****.

Matt Read + 2nd round pick in 2017 to Coyotes. Duclair to Philly.

Coyotes need defensively responsible veteran forwards to insulate their young prospect. The draft pick should be top 45-50 and will give Chayka an asset they can use to try and land another solid prospect or move up back into the 1st round.

Seems to me that moving Duclair would be a disaster for Zona. That said, Duclair for Vatanen would be pretty good value for him and if that were offered, and assuming Duclair is indeed on the block, I don't see how Arizona would turn that down.



No it wouldn't . A proven PM RHD is worth more then a unproven player . As for Duclair issues there is no proof of it , but we are also not in the dressing rooms so we don't know . If he is traded again I would say it is starting t look like he is a problem . Also I would not put too much stock into NK as a source . He hit and miss at best .

To Mtl:

Anthony Duclair
Alex Goligoski

To Arizona:

Charlie Lindgren
Nathan Beaulieu
Arturi Lekkonen
David Deharnais (cap dump)

Habs need a LD that can play solid minutes with Weber and more offensive punch. on LW. Arizona gets a prime goalie prospect that's almost NHL ready, a young LD with solid top 4 years to come and a good LW NHL ready prospect.

What think you?

You can't be serious.

Doubt that the Yotes have the cap for Vatanen, They're pretty tight up against the cap right now.

No need for Vatanen with DeAngelo's emergence.

I thought Duclair and Domi had sublime chemistry together. They've shown it so many times before. I'm surprised to hear he's having a bad year, but sophomore slumps ARE a thing. And Arizona probably would be better not dealing him. The return won't be there anyways.

Dave Tippett doesn't allow them to play together. He's very biased against Duclair but not Domi for some reason, even though they are similar players in terms of puck security and two way play.

Pretty much my thinking as well, With the emergence of DeAngelo's there would be no need for Vatanen.

What's the rest of your offer?
To Mtl:
Anthony Duclair
Alex Goligoski

To Arizona:
Charlie Lindgren
Nathan Beaulieu
Arturi Lekkonen
David Deharnais (cap dump)

What think you?
I think the Coyotes traded for Alex Goligoski and signed him to a 5-year no movement clause SEVENTEEN GAMES AGO.

I think Charlie Lindgren is just a guy.

I think Nathan Beaulieu is a nice young defenseman.

I think Arturi Lekkonen is just a guy.

I think it's funny that you labeled Desharnais a cap dump. He's been a throw-in in almost every MTL trade thread the last 3 years, and specifically labeling Desharnais a cap dump implies that Lindgren and Lekkonen aren't just cap/contract/warm body dumps.

I think the Coyotes are downgrading Duclair to Lekonen and downgrading Goligoski to Beaulieu and are taking on Desharnais ... all to add a goalie prospect we don't need.

I think this was a really terrible proposal.

Vatanen for Duclair makes crazy sense for the Ducks. Less salary, younger, can play LW which we need so so bad.

You can argue Vats is overpayment, but not enough to matter. Even if Duclair is a cheap, young, 15 goal guy on LW with some upside... we just have too many dmen.

Vats + Stoner for Duclair? :)

Yeah unfortunately Arizona doesn't have the cap to afford both Vatanen and Stoner, And with the emergence of DeAngelo's pretty sure that Vatanen would be a no go.

Fine..AZ needs Centers right now correct?

C Nick Cousins, LHD Robert Hagg, and 3rd round pick

Cousins has a respectable 1.59 P/60 at 5v5 in his first 62 NHL games with, compared 0.92 P/60 for Duclair (albeit against better competition)

Hagg is a LHD prospect with #4 potential

3rd round pick should be top a 75-80 pick (which is right where Duclair was drafted ;))

Duclair is having a rough start, but there is no way AZ would trade Duke for most of the garbage shared in the previous 5 pages. Only value close would be Vatanen/Barrie...but AZ has a similar profile player in Deangelo in his first year of his ELC, so no thank you to those offers, too.

I would not mind that Anthony would play in Minnesota, but he will need a new contract, while Minnesota's money under the cap no. Only if no exchange Pominville.

Arizona is a budget team, building toward the future. Why on earth would they trade Duclair for Ryan?

Almost like they should be looking to acquire more Duclairs, not trade them away.
