He knows Pelletier and had success with him just last year. He only played 1 season with Duke, as in 20/21 he played primarily with Wennberg and Hornqvist, while Duke played almost strictly with Barkov and Verhaeghe
The trade is illogical for both teams. The logic that went into the post is absurd. To me it's like how Habs fans were trying to ship Drouin to Colorado for years to reunite him with MacKinnon. And now that he's finally there he sucks. Good players can work with anyone. Huberdeau is having a mental block, a guy like Duclair isn't going to fix that
I’m not dismissing your points as they are valid, but I think you’re dismissing Duclair’s Speed, Shot & Aggression. If any Flames Player could replicate that, it’d probably be Martin Pospisil
Next, Huberdeau was very successful with a Gritty Centre in Sam Bennett (I highly doubt he comes back to CGY though). Their combined Speed, Grit and Aggression seemed to create more time, room and space for Huberdeau to work with. Coleman’s okay, but he’s slower and less skilled with his shot and Backlund doesn’t bring much aggression at all and is rather average offensively
Johnny Gaudreau is struggling, is it all in his head too, or is missing the old Monahan + Lindholm, and then Lindholm + Tkachuk possibly his issue as well!??
Maybe Duclair isn’t “The Fix” and certainly not for this terrible proposal, but for say, Adam Vladar or something around Ruzicka or Dube, why not!? I’d just want Alex Young or a mid-pick/prospect attached if we’re giving up one of our RFA’s. Duclair does bring a good game and I imagine would be fun for Huberdeau to play with again…
Otherwise, my vote again is to put Pospisil (or Mangiapane) at RW with Huby & Backs to see what that looks like. Coleman doesn’t need either of them for his game to be effective, whereas Huby & Mang definitely need Backlund more imo
