Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning has found a talent in trading for underperforming prospects and turning them into useful assets. This includes Markus Granlund, Sven Baertschi and more recently Derrick Pouliot.
Now, a divisional foe appears to be keen on moving on from a struggling but talented player. Last week, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reported in his 31 Thoughts column that the Arizona Coyotes are “working to find Anthony Duclair a fresh start.” The 22-year-old has just seven goals and six assists in 28 games this season.
