Matt Duchene has rediscovered his form in Dallas, contributing significantly to the Stars' recent successes. However, the tight salary cap situation may force the Stars to consider Duchene as a cap casualty.
The Blackhawks, eager to alleviate some of the pressure on Connor Bedard as he continues to develop, see Duchene as an invaluable addition to their offensive core.
Duchene's versatility to play both center and winger, coupled with his offensive prowess, could significantly bolster the Blackhawks' lineup.
