Anthony Duclair:
This is an interesting one, as he’s found himself on his fifth team in only 5 years in the NHL. Early on in the year, it seemed the Senators had struck gold in the rough when “The Duke” was scoring at a 40-goal pace.
Anthony Duclair has made Ottawa his home and should be here for a while unless he’s demanding too much money, it would certainly make sense for him to be extended long-term.
It was definitely an up-and-down year for the Quebec native, but he finished with a solid 23 goals and 40 points in 66 games played. He has top-ten goal-scoring upside, but he also tends to go on extended goal droughts.
The definition of a high-risk high-reward player it’s time for the Ottawa Senators management to start taking some risks and signing Duclair long-term should be a priority.
