The rangers didn't think twice because they were getting Yandle in return. Not because Duclair had underperformed.

If memory serves me correctly around that time Duclair had one helluva WJC and was arguably the best forward on the team, IMO...

Duclair can play a possession game, has wheels, skill and grit.

And again, as for a positional need, Duclair has played a ton of RW and is very familiar with the position.

Duclair's underwhelming numbers are not indicative of a player not hitting his potential, the entire forward ranks for Arizona are poor. That's indicative of a poor system. Sound familiar?

I don't think the Flames should be throwing around blue chip prospects and high end picks but if you could get Duclair for Bouma and 2nd, you do that deal all day.
