Anthony Duclair: our analysis

2025-26 season: 62 GP, 12 G, 15 A, 27 PTS, 0 +/-, 13:12 TOI. WAR 0.4 (248th of 615) · PAL 5, very poor.

In 2025-26, Anthony Duclair, 31, posts a PAL Rating of 5 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of 0.4 ranks 248th among 615 regulars, in the top half.

On the other hand, possession (2, among the weakest in the league) and defense (4, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: finishing (+3.3); his biggest cost: EV defense (-3.1).

A slight dip from 2024-25, when his PAL was 10; his WAR went from 0.4 to 0.4.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 3 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Anthony Duclair's story

Growing up in Laval after being born in Pointe-Claire, Anthony Duclair developed into a natural goal scorer through the Quebec junior system. He stood out with Lac St-Louis before joining the Quebec Remparts; the 2013–14 campaign produced a breakout scoring line—50 goals in 59 games—and a place on the QMJHL First All-Star Team.

Selected 80th overall by the New York Rangers in the 2013 draft, Duclair signed his three-year entry-level deal on January 2, 2014. He broke into the NHL that autumn, making his debut in October 2014 and netting his first NHL goal on October 27. After a stint back in juniors later that season, he returned to professional hockey ready to push for a full-time role.

On March 1, 2015, New York traded him to the Arizona Coyotes. In Arizona he struck an early rapport with a fellow rookie and recorded his first NHL hat trick on October 14, 2015. His time with the Coyotes included both strong stretches and challenges—he was sent to the AHL on January 19, 2017, returned in March, and publicly requested a trade in January 2018, which led to a deal sending him to Chicago that month.

After the Blackhawks chose not to tender a qualifying offer, Duclair signed a one-year, one-way contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets on July 5, 2018; he finished that season with 11 goals and 19 points across 53 games. Traded to Ottawa on February 23, 2019, he signed a one-year contract for 2019–20 and quickly became the Senators’ offensive leader, recording 21 goals and 30 points in his first 38 games and earning the club’s representative spot at the 2020 NHL All-Star Game. In June 2020 he joined the inaugural executive board of the Hockey Diversity Alliance.

Duclair continued his career with the Florida Panthers—signing in December 2020, later agreeing to a three-year extension in July 2021—and contributed 4 goals and 7 assists in the Panthers’ 2023 playoff run to the Stanley Cup Final. Traded to San Jose on July 1, 2023, he was moved to Tampa Bay in March 2024, scoring in his Lightning debut on March 9. On July 1, 2024, he signed a four-year deal with the New York Islanders, and on January 6, 2026 he recorded a hat trick in a 9–0 victory over New Jersey; his game is defined by quickness, finishing ability and offensive instincts.

PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against players at the same position (50 = average player), starting from the player's strength, offensive or defensive. Value Rating compares that performance with what the player costs: 50 means paid what the play is worth.
