The 21-year old winger will be hoping to put his last season in the rear view mirror and fulfill the expectations many had of him after the 2015-16 season.<\/p>\n<h1>Anthony Duclair Re-Signs with the Arizona Coyotes<\/h1>\n<p>Duclair, 21, had nothing short of a disappointing season in 2016-17. On the back of a 44-point season in which he scored 20 goals. The 2016-17 season was not nearly as kind to Duclair, who only played in 58 games. During his 58-game season, he had five goals and 10 assists. Definitely not the numbers the Arizona Coyotes were hoping for from Duclair.<\/p>\n<p>While he had a poor season, Duclair still has plenty of promise and has time on his side. At only 21-years old, he is still a spring chicken in regards to the NHL. The Coyotes will be hoping he can return to the production he had during the 2015-16 season.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Anthony Duclair: 17-18 $1.2M <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/coyotes?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#coyotes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Renaud Lavoie (@renlavoietva) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/renlavoietva\/status\/904465621542371329?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 3, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Despite the goals and assists making a case against Anthony Duclair, they are only the tip of the iceberg. The Relative Corsi-For for Duclair this season was a 1.50, good for fourth among the forwards in Arizona. The only forwards he trailed were <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/v\/vrbatra01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Radim Vrbata<\/a><\/strong> (1.67), <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/d\/doansh01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shane Doan<\/a><\/strong> (2.12), and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/martijo01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jordan Martinook<\/a><\/strong> (2.24). Of the three ahead of him, the lowest point total they had was the 25 by Martinook. This points to last season being more a case of bad luck, rather than bad play, for Anthony Duclair.<\/p>\n<p>When you compare his 6.6% shoot percentage to that of the unrealistically high 19% he had in the 2015-16 season, it would be a safe bet to say that neither number is likely a good representative of where he will land consistently. Somewhere in the middle, likely above 10% is a more realistic landing point for Duclair when paired with a good core of forwards. If that&#8217;s the case, Duclair could easily score 15-20 goals per season.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/628643218\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.666667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/628643218?et=qldzzg5rSZB-YB1-C3RS2g&amp;tld=ca&amp;viewMoreLink=on&amp;sig=BqA4tiZDKazGyhW7u9RbsNwzU6yK2Kyfd8OIsHo2qIE=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young left wing Anthony Duclair has re-signed with the Coyotes on a one-year contract worth $1.2 million.
