Player Discussion Phillip Danault: What's My Line Edition

[le_sean]

@Scriptor still defending Danault? Just got absolutely owned on the defensive side, the only type of contribution he’s able to make. Keep defending this plug.

 

[altmeister]

great play by the selke nominate

 

[Prettyisland]

He sucks. Straight up

 

[SpeedyPotato]

I used to like that player, I now despise him.. just seeing his face angers me at this point. I hope someone replays him his comments after the playoffs saying he didn't want his role to diminish.

 

[A55P2]

Yeah enough is enough. He's killing us.

If Belzile is healthy call him up. Evans takes Danault spot, Belzile take Evans spot.

 

[sandviper]

I don’t hate the guy or anything but he isn’t doing himself any favours. He complained about not wanting to be stuck in a defensive role, and starts the season with his usual line mates in Tatar and Gally. Now he gets one of the leading goal scorers to play with.

I guess what I’m trying to say is he has it pretty good in terms of lines, but he needs to do something with it.

He can't. Even last year most of his points came from good plays from Tatar and Gally. What we're seeing now his him being unable to get out of a slump by himself. If the players he plays with are in a slump he's in one too.

Isn’t Belzile a winger? We would need Poehling to step into the 4th line. Scratch Danault to send a message.

Ah yeah you're right. He might have played center before though because I don't feel like Poehling is ready. There's also Vedjemo who's fast and reliable.

 

[Goldenhands]

Danault was a product of Tatar and Gallagher, the guy cant play with skilled players, just slot him on the fourth line with guys like Byron Lehkonen at this point... Wont get more than 4.5M on the FA market...

 

[sbhatt]

This bum has been playing lazy hockey since the season started...like he's sulking about not being handed a 6 million dollar per contract.

That'd be an overpay by 1.5 mil the way he's playing.

I don't know if Vejdemo can be a good NHLer but he has that defensive role in Laval and could be effective on a 4th line with the Habs. He doesn't seem so physical though

 

[Prettyisland]

Just swap him for Bennett and maybe get a pick . At least that kids not a complete bitch

 

[habdynasty]

 

[kgboomer]

I doubt Lehkonen is at 11th goal slumps, he just had a shorty recently against the Canucks. Danault on the other end.... I can't remember.

 

[ahmedou]

His last goal was a empty net, just saying.

 

[canucklover123]

So who do you guys wanna lineup in playoffs against Austin Matthews when we get rid of PD out of curiosity

 

[The Great Weal]

Just swap him for Bennett and maybe get a pick . At least that kids not a complete bitch

Lol what? Bennett asked for a trade because he wants more ice time, how is he not the same if not worse?

Idk something to prove. Good play off performer. Hits. Fights . Big difference wanting off the forth line and bitching about 2 younger centers that might cramp your style, declining a good contract, then coming out of the gate playing your worst hockey as a hab. But if you think think Phil is worth a dime over 5x5 I’d be happy to take your drug dealers number.. could use a heavy buzz watching him get the most on Ice time on the foreword group

 

[CHfan1]

After the turnover to start the game Danault played a lot better. Need more of that. Nice feed to Toffoli to start the scoring.

 

[expy]

One assist on the tying goal, may be enough worth to get something in return for a trade now?

Difference is that Danault wanted a better chance to produce in the playoffs when he got defensive linemates and got burried in defensive assignments when he's been good for back to back seasons. Bennett is just not that good and wants to play more.

You might need to give me your dealers number with that awful proposal.
