Duehr, and the players like him, are always likely to have one foot out the door and are tough to last long term in the league. With the lack of skill they really have to rely on maintaining top level energy and getting some puck luck, that has to be a hard way to play 80+ games a season, multiple seasons.
Seems like a good guy, and someone you would want around during a rebuild, but also not surprising that when a few young guys have stepped up that he lost his spot.
