Anthony Duclair would be a massive mistake for the Red Wings

The Detroit Red Wings would not be a good fit for Anthony Duclair.

A recent trade proposal floating around the internet sees Detroit acquiring Duclair from the New York Islanders in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick and Jonatan Berggren.

Let’s break it down. Duclair is now entering the second year of his four-year, $14 million contract with the New York Islanders, but his trajectory has already been tested. A leg injury suffered in late October sidelined him for roughly 15 games.

But when Duclair finally returned to the lineup, the expectation was for him to quickly re-establish himself as a dynamic presence.
