Hey buddy!!

Shut up and get back in the pile

Elite? Are we still talking about Danault?

Just as I was warming up to the idea of keeping Danault as a 3rd line C and maybe putting Domi on the wing later on down the road, you guys have raised the bar with Danault being elite and worth 6 million

Danault racked up a bunch of assists because Gallagher and Tatar were firing on all cylinders!!

Ok...I'll bite...outside of offense and scoring goals in more games, what part of his game do you take issue with?

The puck doesn't end up on their stick in the offensive zone by magic.

Nothing at all, that doesn't mean he's a top 6 C, a 6 million dollar player and it certainly doesn't make him elite.... other than the fact he plays C (and that he's french) what's the big differences between Danault and Lehkonen?

Gallagher and Tatar are not the type of wingers who set up in the slot for 1 timers, they hustle and battle for their chances.... unless you believe that not only is Danault a top 6 C, 6+ million worth, elite AND a superior playmaker!

Not sure Danault is worth 6M.

But he's better than you paint him to be.

And yes he's the type of player that allows players like Gallagher and Tatar to thrive.

But that's what everyone seems to not get, I like Danault, I've said it a million times... he'd be a great 3rd line C

He's an able 2nd line center. Not a great one but he can do the job. I would'nt give him over 5M

Where else is Danault a 2nd line C?

And at least you brought it down to 5, still too much if ya ask me but better than 6

How many teams have a 53 point guy on their third line?

I don't think half the league has 53 point guy on their second line

Gallagher is also known for having scored less 5v5 points last year compared to Danault. Tatar is known for his Godlike 3 more 5v5 points

MacKinnon & even Soderberg had 10 more goals than Danault
