Duclair is not anything special.
So.. I’d rather have Duchene and Dzingel personally. They must have really felt they couldn’t re-sign them I guess. I feel like every time Ottawa trades a star player Colorado does a fist pump.

I agree that Duclair isn't worth much.
But 2nd round picks are. The odds of getting the player there are quite a bit higher now. For an example, 18/30 2nd round picks from 2015 have already played in the NHL.
Or remember the 2011 draft when the Flames have all 5 picks make the NHL (4 of them are now NHL regulars). In 2011, 27/30 2nd round picks made the NHL. 23/30 of the 3rd round picks spent time in the NHL.
