I think you should be more concerned with how the Senators traded for Duchene. It's weird, they were right about how much better he is than Turris, considering Turris fell off a massive cliff after leaving Ottawa, but I will never understand why they thought Duchene was what they needed to put them over the top. If I remember correctly, they needed more defensive depth and another scoring winger more than an upgrade at center.
Here was their line-up:
Hoffman-Turris-Stone
MacArthur (after multiple concussions)-Brassard-Ryan
Dzingel-Pageau-Burrows
Pyatt-Smith-Wingels
Kelly, Stalberg
Methot-Karlsson
Phaneuf-Ceci
Borowiecki-Wideman
Harpur, Claesson
Anderson
Hammond
Condon
Yeah, that lineup screams 2nd line LW, better bottom-6 forwards, and one more defensive upgrade. I wouldn't look at that lineup and think "we need to upgrade Turris to Duchene".
