Not only are they not contending, they could miss the playoffs. They're a bubble team at best.

What exactly are they contending for? They are soon to be out of the playoffs with Doughty out.
Agreed. Danault helped get the team as far as it could go. The source of fan frustration (yes, I hereby speak for all fans) was he was placed in a role that typically demands more offence, but that's less Danault's fault than it was management's for leaving us no option.

I'm not sure he's a fit with this club, but yes, I was also a little surprised how he was completely being written off due to his play under ducharme.
Could it possibly be because so many posters here "love" to pounce on any negative fact to validate their opinion?
There is absolutely no way the Habs could have iced a team this year without getting someone to replace KK and/or Danault.

Had a similar conversation with someone today. They didn't realize LA is riding a three game losing streak and are 4-4-2 in their last 10.
Even if the rebuild takes 2-3 years, Danault would still be useful as a 2-way center so I still think we should have kept him over Gallagher
I agree but I was not a Danault basher. Perhaps because I've coached and managed in three sports including hockey, I have always appreciated team players and defensive prowess.
I never believed Danault should shoulder the 1C burden. The fact that he had to was MB's fault.

Well that's for sure, fo so many reasons. C is more useful than W on average, taller, bigger, stronger, better IQ, better defensively, cheaper, not injured nearly as often, not a ******* whiny little *****, etc.

Smart move by Bergevin. Dvorak solid player. We actually gave up 2-2nds for Dvorak. As Canes pick be 30 or so.

I still don't know what we have.
He's had a very small sample size under MSL. My biggest concern isn't the points, but the lack of footspeed and how that affects his defensive game. But he's got some offensive skills. If his footspeed doesn't allow him to be a 200 foot. Enter, he may be a good top 6 winger that can take draws, especially on the pp.

Armia Dvorak Gallagher already did. Every combination of X - Dvorak - Armia has worked so far.

Those three are pretty compatible, they have the same type of game and the same type of speed. It's way too pricey of a line for the actual production but at least they tend to win their shifts and keep the puck on the other side of the ice.

Under MSL he feels about how he was supposed to. He looks like our Danault replacement. They do different things but fill the same lineup spot. Ideally 3rd line C who can play on the 2nd if you are bad or if there are injuries.
I hoped for more and believe he could have brought more but if he is this then the trade value wise is pretty much a wash. See JG pageau deal.

That's definitely Dvo's role with the team, but Danault isn't in the same tier as Dvo and JGP. He's a legitimate #2. He would be wasted as a #3. Suzuki has 36 even strength points... Danault has 43. He's just too damn efficient 5v5 and on the PK to play a 3rd line role.
Spring in Fialta
A malign star kept him
I think he was definitely worth an extremely low first and considering his age and contract, I have no idea how anyone (not saying that this is your case, just in general) could think the upside to trading him is higher than his worth to the team.

I would like to see him and his Frankenstein emotionless face on the first PP wave. I like his play in the crease. He's better than Gallagher, Anderson and Armia at goalie screening and it's beneficial to Caufield (and to Hoffman if he decide to play)

an ok third liner with a fine contract. I think he would have been traded if not for his untimely injury.
If Hugues does want a team built around speed he isn't a good fit. It wouldn't make much sense to trade Lehkonnen and keep him in the end, although he's a center which has to account for something.

The trade in the end worked out well but there was no guarantee. If Carolina had as many injuries as Montreal there could have been a 1st overall given away. And i agree there is no point in moving Dvorak. Won't get equal value. And there are 4-5 others that are more important to unload.

Since MSL, Dvorak has turned into solid player. Made a nice play on Evans goal. Next season Dvorak will put up decent numbers and could bring a Chiarot type return at trade deadline.

Did you see why Evan's and Dvorak were on the ice at the same time?
Was one of them playing wing?
I ask because when we get a 2c (probably in the draft) two of Evans, Poehling and Dvorak will have to play wing if they want to stay in the top 9. I think all three would actually be on the wing.
