MacKinnon & even Soderberg had 10 more goals than Danault
- obie

Danault had 15 assists more

Johansson, Granlund, Turris & Smith all play C... so I'm not sure he would
- obie

Johanson...you mean the guy making $8.5m who played 80 games and had 1 less 5v5 point than Danault? That guy?

He's better than Staal at this point.
- MortChicken

That's debatable especially considering the defensive play is what propels Danault into the top 6, Staal is pretty good at that too

Danault doesn't play the PP, you wanna know why??

How many top 6 C don't get a sniff of the PP?

Staal has hit 50 points once in his career, 50 on the nose, in 2011-2012.

He's not bad but his best years are behind him. Even if he had good playoffs.

Great...play guys who should get 3rd line minutes like Drouin on the PP all you want for their skill, I'd still be happy with Danault out scoring other teams first lines 5v5 all damn day

It's because Armia has so much success.

Shut up and get back in the pile

Don't get me started on Drouin

Lehkonen: 41 goals the last 3 years

Habs fans: "the guy can't score, he sucks, get him off the ice"

Danault: 33 goals the last 3 seasons

Habs fans: "hes an elite 2 way C, pay him 6 million + and move everyone else to the wing so he can play in the top 6"


....yes, I'm just being an ass now!!

So if hes on par offensively with all those guys, how come he gets no PP time?

I see only goals matter now.

Yup

Hall of Famer Joe Thornton is in the same category as Danault, is that what you're saying?

No Show Joe is actually one of the all time great playmakers, is Danault ?

Danault doesn't play the PP, you wanna know why??

Didn't get ice time on PP cuz the team needed a player that can not make them lose once the PP is done with.

I know this is hard for a lot of people to get but the game is played on the majority 5v5 and much like the saying "a penny saved is a penny earned" a goal prevented is a goal scored. 5v5 not only is he elite (mid level offensively for all top line forwards) in terms of his all around game but the Habs have nobody capable of replacing him, especially against other top lines. Bergeron does it with Marchand and Pasta...Danault does it with Tatar and Gallagher...not exactly the same tools to work with

With a layover in Irak on the way and Iran coming back.

Bergeron scored 1 goal less in 65 games this season than Danault the last 3 combined... the biggest difference on that line IS Bergeron
