I think he's ahead of a lot of players, including Benn, Marleau, Nash, Carter, and Sharp in addition to Kunitz and MSL.
NOTE: I do not advocate sitting any of those players out besides Kunitz. They should all be in the lineup - in particular I'm a huge Benn fan. I'm just saying that in this tournament, I'd rather have Duchene playing ahead of any of them if I had to choose between them. Just to emphasize how silly that decision is.
Duchene is, for me, not only a unique threat because of his skating, but has some of the best hands on the team. He's also as good as anyone below the dots. The stuff he does with O'Reilly in COL on short passes behind the net, in the corners and around the faceoff circles to generate offense could really pay dividends for us here.
