Not sure if Danault is your best option. Who else is available?
Drop Duchene for Danault?
After reading the Looking Ahead column (https://dobberhockey.com/hockey-home...rth-targeting/), I'm wondering if I should drop Duchene for Danault? Is there enough of a difference that I should make the swap? The same article talks about Nashville's top line being broken up, which seems like an opportunity for Duchene if he's playing with Forsberg now.

It doesn't exactly instill a ton of confidence in the free agent pool!

Re: Drop Duchene for Danault?
With those options available Id be tempted to hold onto Duchene.
I have Danault, but I would move him for Duchene. Danault is a great player but he is a defensively deployed forward. He may be so good that he produces anyways; we will see long term. We know Duchene has pretty great upside, despite what he's shown. It could end up being close but Duchene has that next level I think.

Coleman and Cirelli are very tempting.

Re: Drop Duchene for Danault?
I think Coleman, Danault, & Cirelli are better options.
I dealt Duchene in a dynasty cap league that's got G, A, Pts, SOG, PIM, and (Hits+Blocks) because I couldn't justify his salary versus his lack of production. In a one year, he'd be gone from my roster by now.
