For sure but if he was good at everything we wouldn't have him for $1M. Dude is making essentially ELC money and has more points than both Hayes and Vesey.

Hayes has been the substantially better player in my view; Vesey, no comment

And thats why he's disliked.

He's some random UFA, older, smaller, miscast at times in role. If he was drafted or a UDFA or signed from college hockey, he'd be liked a lot more.

Desharnais: 40.73CF%, 41.64GF%, 38.72xG%. That's why he's disliked. Let's not make too much of 1 goal.

He's easily knocked off the puck, really bad defensively, and once in a while makes a nice play.

Points matter though, and he's put them up at a good rate throughout his career. He's a 9th forward, can only play effectively as a complimentary 3rd liner. No one's saying he's any more. We are arguing about who plays the last few roles on the team, but he's way more productive with scoring points than Carey or Vesey. It's not like they have great advanced stats either. What they don't have is any success in the NHL with scoring points.

He's nothing like Dominic Moore. Desharnais can pass but he's pretty lackluster in most other areas.

DD51 reminds me of Dom Moore in that he is very good defensively, provides some offense and does not look out of place when he is moved up the line-up due to injuries. Moore is better defensively, but DD51 definitely has more offensive talent.

This season he has already eclipsed his point totals of last season, just 30 games in.

Hayes is a much better player, the point is DD is producing.

Eh I've been a supporter of him all season. If you're getting borderline top-six production for a million bucks, that's something to be happy about.

Omfg I never thought you’d be able to top the shade you’ve thrown at Vesey in the past, but you’ve managed to overcome it :laugh::laugh:

He also isn’t a random player. I’m pretty sure most hockey fans could tell you who David Desharnais is
 
The fourth line continues to produce despite that I loathe all three of em.

He has a stigma attached to him though, and you know it.

I want my top 9 forwards to put up points. Everything else is secondary. I can't complain with Desharnais's play, given the points he scores.

I think that’s just you projecting, but I’ll leave it at that.

Still worried about Hayes’ offense? :naughty:
