I personally think Danault wanted to leave and the way things were handled ensured that.

He wanted to leave, finish his career under the sun and less taxes, who wouldn't.

Armia reminds me of the Hawks extending Bryan Bickell after his strong playoff run, then reality set in following season…

Yeah, he did want to leave cause media, fans, and even Bergevin miss managed his performance and potential. It's still stupid cause the problem is we undervalued him. Not everyone but a lot of people in the Habs herd.
Mismanaged his performace?
How?
He was by far the most used player the last 4 years of his career here. He's playing the exact same role he is in Los Angeles right now, except with better insulation (Kopitar) and he also gets to play PP.
But let's not act like he wasn't appreciated here.

You sure? Cause I am pretty sure he called out late period penalty in the first (which was Xhekaj I believe) and Curvy Duck. I understood he was annoyed at his team for at these 2.

I don't know why he is so inconsistent but I think he's better against big defensemen, when puck protection is not conditionned by his own reaction time, and when he is able to actually control the puck. He's a good asset for a playoff run but pretty useless in Montreal right now.

He was honest enough to say Dach can’t take the misconduct, but the rest of the « show » he put on post-game was like watching Torterella calling out the refs in fewer words
Some guy in La Presse thought the same this morning. He kept repeating « did you watch the game? » and biting his lip lol

Yeah he lost it in the last seconds but it was a very hard and bad pass in the middle of the skates. Tough one.

One good game and how many bad games? 13 pts in 29 games. 4.5m $ / year
He's a center and he have only 7 assists in 29 games.

Wow ! You wrote that really ? .... Really ? Lol
How many years it took for many of to see how frustrating this player is? I mean, I saw a player with so many tools when he's on his game. I mean, this player have everything : speed, size, puck protection, power of his shot, winning battles in corner and some hockey IQ. But what's happening with him? Where is all those qualities gone 19 games out of 20? What's happening with him? Does he need a psychologist? I mean, he is a bigger mystery than the big bang theory or the secret of the Caramilk.
But another secret is why posters here just realise he's frustrating and not giving enough. A player like Evans we can understand because he seems fragile and weak like Tory Mitchell was. But Armia no, he's built like a Sierra pick-up with the 5,7 liter Vortec engine.
more sun and nicer weather period For sure. Taxes not a big difference though in Cali.
Shitty actor,why the fake anger.lol. like he cares about winning.
Why didn't he challenge the second goal,goalie interference.

Robertson knows how to tell a story and has stayed humble, which make him very relatable. Too bad we lost him to the Peg.

Criticizing officials doesn’t accomplish anything anyways. If the Habs want changes to how referees are evaluated or how they call games, it won’t happen at a coach’s post game presser.
At least Marty didn’t speak to it in more overt terms. It’s up to Marty to remind reporters that he’d rather take questions about factors that the team actually has control over.
But he’s no risk to shoot which allows the d coverage to focus on the other 4 players eliminating our advantage.

He wasn't appreciated here. There were posters on his case everyday. The game threads were bashing every shifts because he didn't scored. He was badly bashed in OT if he was on 3 vs 3. I was one of the rare to defend him. Me, Habs Halifax and few others. It was hard for me, I received tons of cheap shot comments. But I didn't care. I've been raised in the most toxic family the QC province has produced so these comments were nothing for me.
I was happy for Danault to leave the toxic Habs team. Owned by a stupid beer owner rich by his heritage. Managed by a stupid bully typical quebecois style who doesn't recognise the talent he have in his hands. And he reward Armia and Evans instead of Danault. He gave way too much to Price and Gallagher. He signed Hoffman and Dvorak. He did the Sergachev-Drouin trade. Signed Drou way too much money even if he hasn't showed he deserved that amount of money and term. He replaced Markov by Alzner, etc.
Danault is at the right place. He's in a team who drafted Kopitar, Doughty and Quick. It's a team who won two Stanley Cups. It's a city of high tech, intelligence, money, movies, television, beaches and high skilled people in every domains. Montreal to compare with is a place of losers. Sorry about Montreal but this city is on a decline. The province is falling because it's aging, it's taxes struggling, it's drugs problems, mental illness and a dark future.
I'm happy for Danault. Good for you Phil! Tu vas avoir du fun a LA, lâche pas!

All for inflating the stats of vets to make them easier to move but some judgment should still be exercised. Not all vets deserve the ice time, it hinders the meritocracy approach that looked to be in place and it robs upside rookies of ice time and experience.
Is it worth giving a lug like Dadonov ice time just to hope that instead of 6-7th round pick, he might garner a 5th? A whole season of undeserved minutes, for that?

If he wanted to leave the way things were handled then he wanted to flee Bergevin. How did that work out?
If management was the cause of his departure, I suspect that the current management group might have offered ample reason for him to stay.
