Yeah, I get the logic behind it, but Duclair is a legit second line guy on almost every team in the league. If all you're offering is future 7th D Logan Stanley, it gets beat. Hell, if I was in charge if the Islanders I'd say "pick one: Sebastian Aho/Robin Salo, okay good, here's a 3rd, and hey, any of those warm bodies in Bridgeport making $750k is yours if you want em" and look at that, I've beaten this offer.
I think if Florida has to make the move, anyone with a league minimum cap hit will be valuable - it gives them more flexibility in playing the emergency call up game if someone's hurt(but not LTIR hurt) and they need a fresh body.
