Duchene wouldn't be played at centre here IMO. Therefore he's a winger which is the least important position in hockey. He isn't on a sweetheart deal and he's only signed for 2 years and will be looking for more. Personally I don't think he's a more important piece than Tkachuk, Monahan, Gaudreau or Backlund.
Brodie meanwhile plays the more important position. Brodie is on a sweetheart deal.
No chance I'd do a Brodie for Duchene deal. Rather sign a Jagr for a winger spot for free. Or acquire a winger at the deadline for a prospect if it proves to be a need over the course of the year.
