Palat will be gone in a year. Duclair in two….if not sooner. Engvall is unplayable and you can’t move his contract.

Make me mad. How idk but they usually find a way. 2025 Drouin signing 2024 Duclair signing 2023 Engvall extension 2022 Romanov trade 2021 Eberle exposed in expansion draft 2020 maybe I was happy

Anthony Duclair has been kicked off a third of the NHL teams in the league. Who the hell would want him? After the island of contracts over he’s gonna have to go to Europe.

Granlund and Walman worked out. Duclair was so,so. I am sure there are others that were so, so.

Maybe not expecting it, but I think Mayfield and Engvall should be legitimate candidates… might still be able to deal Duclair. Do you agree?

Palat and Duclair. Nobody wants to trade for either. Duclair has burned 12 different bridges and Palat is an ECHL caliber player at this point

For me it's impossible to predict this offseason. They will likely have to move one contract out (Duclair, Palat) one way or another and move from there. Do they keep their prospects or move them for Kyrou, etc? Maybe the best route is bring in Marchment, a RHD (TDA?) and roll.

#isles Post-Season Report Card Anthony Duclair (F) Age: 30 GP62 12G 15A Grade: C I play a game with myself when I do these report cards. I fill out the header (age, GP, G, A) without looking at the stats first and see how far off I am. I'm usually pretty close even on players I didn't track that tightly during the year in my mind. Duclair is the absolute winner of the "What, really?!" award when it comes to this. I, for some reason, had no conception that he played 62 games this year. I really thought it was about half that. Usually that would happen with a player that I was going to torch in my season review. Not the case here. Now, I'll be honest, a part of this is muddied up by the fact that I do not know how to interpret the expectations for Anthony Duclair headed into the season. Duclair was injured last year and inconsistently played. And when he did play - he was largely terrible. Unable to use his athleticism and skating to impact the game. So, this year, I figured that'd improve. He was going to be healthier. I expected he'd be hungry. But what about his usage? Things seemed to go very, very sideways for Duclair with Patrick Roy. It's almost forgotten now given everything that happened this season but Duclair was recruited, specifically, by Patrick Roy. And then he got hurt. And then Roy shit on him in public. And stapled him to the press box. And then Duclair was given a leave of absence. And then? I just don't know what to think here. Duclair isn't a guy whose track record is going to do him any favors when it comes to sticking with teams and being consistent in his production. My best guess going into this year is that Roy had no actual plan for him. I think he was one of the guys that Roy was going to bounce around a bit and hope things more or less worked out. The reason I thought he played so few games in my head was I had this impression that he was consistently getting yanked out of the lineup for guys like Shabanov and Tsyplakov. I just saw all three as not being able to consistently get on the ice. That was my impression. So, while that wasn't the case, I think I was right about the general idea and it manifested in Duclair's usage. He was just kind of thrown anywhere on a whim and if it wasn't working he was moved or skipped a shift. Now, for actual on-ice performance, I thought Duke actually was largely good in spots. He had a hot streak mid-season that was super exciting and he can definitely force defenses to respect his speed. Good hands. Great shooter. It felt like this was a guy who was finding his game after a particularly rough season, in not a great environment (because Roy's coaching was very, very bad), without any consistency to actually help him get going. But at the same time it feels like there was a ton of meat left on the bone here. I'm really curious to see how this goes with DeBoer. Because I think there's still that chance you get a 25G 25A campaign out of Duclair if he's allowed to consistently play with some guys in the Top 6 and stay on the ice. I suspect he'll be relieved that Roy is gone. I don't think he'll be the only one. And when I look at his career history it looks like a pattern where he has one or two down campaigns and then suddenly goes off for a year. And it should be this year, honestly, because he badly needs it to rescue his career from this weird trajectory it's been stuck in. Man, I'm talking a lot here, but it's just one of those things I had to walk through because the grade's so hard to give. I think if I pin down expectations to try and grade him - I'll say the expectations were for him to establish himself full-time in the lineup, be healthy, and show signs of that dynamic rush offense he was signed to help with. I think he largely did that. Not entirely, but largely. And I think the lack of a 75 game season was largely because Patrick Roy was huffing industrial glue on the regular with his lineup changes and Duclair was very much on the shit end of the stick here. Putting Duclair on the 4th line felt like a performative bit of nonsense. The very definition of cutting off his nose to spite his face. Still, for all the excuses, Duclair would have great games and then vanish. Defensively he continued to largely be a complete zero. And he never felt like a super dangerous player out there. It's a C. And next year it's going to be even harder to project the expectations for this player. What do you think they should be?

2027 1st Protected, Danny Nelson & Duclair Kyrou has a NTC and is close with Schenn. They can flip Duclair at the deadline for a pick.

Anthony Duclair scoring 38 goals next year.

I’ve watched him with the rangers. I’ve been to the rangers games, crowd was racists asfff every single time he touched the puck. Went to an islanders game this year, same thing with Duclair. NYC is a HORRIBLE market for a black hockey player. Makes sense why he choked.

Anthony Duclair do you have that dawg in you

Jorge Polanco, Bailey Zappe, Anthony Volpe, Anthony Duclair, your time is now

“Anthony Duclair”

We could give them a highly skilled winger in Anthony Duclair

Anthony Duclair you’re on deck

Would be pretty surprised if Anthony Duclair were still a member of the #isles come next Saturday night.

Looking at you Anthony Duclair #isles

The NHL really needs to expand again, so there will be more teams Duclair can be traded to (that he hasn't already played for). #isles

We have Duclair he’s got us trust me
