I don't think that he is in decline, even though that has been the narrative in Nashville, because he has not lived up to his billing. He is not a fan favorite in Nashville, especially with playoff questions like this being bandied about :

Poile has a quick trigger finger and likes a big splash. Playing second line centre in Calgary would quickly rejuvenate Duchene, IMO. It would be a lot of fun to watch, anyway. If the contract is that much of a deterrent, all the better, I'll happily take their two second round picks as well.
