You want him for the rest of the year, it will cost you more.
Ottawa has no motivation to move him for a low return simply to help the Flames round out their top 6.

I don't think Duchene is re-signing in Ottawa, so Ottawa definitely has motivation to move him for any return - unless you think they're playoff bound.
I think he's going to be moved by the deadline, so we'll see what he's worth this year I'm sure. I also don't disagree that he's the
type of guy that garners the overpayments, but I think he'd have to have a career year at this point for that to not be a massive overpayment. You're basically reliving the Tatar trade here.
