Again, why is that relevant? He might ask to get McDavid salary it does not mean he deserves it nor will he ever get paid that much.
Stop the bullshit with his 'fans' comment. I don't give a shit about Danault, he could be traded tomorrow or waved and I would not be sad but based on his role on the team he has been doing an ok job and he is clearly NOT what I would call a problem or at least not even 1% as bad as his haters claim he is. He has been scapegoated by people around here because they always need a guy to hate. The hate is reaching new height, the guy is just an average NHLer and he has been good value and yes the habs are a better with him in the lineup than without him.
Let's agree to disagree. You seem to completely ignore the defensive side of the game.
15/20 goals, tame down your expectation. He is not that type of player. My expectation are 10/15 goals and around 40 ish points but being a shutdown type of center.
Again, it's a team balance and his role is to help defensively so his wingers can 'cheat' more offensively. I swear if his wingers was Byron, Lekhonen people would still complain. He has been poor offensively and he needs to step up. He his losing money by the day for his next contract. He is still more valuable in the lineup than outside.
And how much do you realistically pay a player like that, keeping in mind that said player has already turned down 5 million a year?
This is correct, I’d actually say he’s an above average defensive NHLr and a below average offensive NHLr so it evens out, a perfect #3C on a contending team. The hate comes from he doesn’t see himself as that and his coach doesn’t see himself as that so now he gets the 2 best wingers to try and get him out of a funk that’s not a funk, it’s the way it is. Muller had him playing where he belongs in the bubble and we saw Suzuki and KK play their best hockey. PD spat the dummy thinking he’s what Claude thinks he is - and why wouldn’t he when it’s reinforced with lineup like tonight.
Easy peasy. Let the market decide. In his head he might be worth 6M or whatever the reality will sink in when he sees how much he receives on the open market.
It's not easy man, that's the point. This man came out after the playoffs talking all kinds of ish. About his role, what he would accept, what he wouldn't. He bet on himself completely, which, althought admirable, has turned out to be very unwise. He turned down a 30 million dollar contract (wow, wtf MB) and clearly views himself as a great offensive player.
lololool imagine trying to make his first argument, where he doesn't come off emotionally inept and insinuates KK will play against AM34 in the playoffs. You do realize they were on together because Toronto tried to exploit him. Why do you think Julien put Lekhonen there along with Armia.
Lol, I asked a simple question of who will we want to play against AM34 in playoffs, nothing more. You might have missed it because you were blinded by rage seeing PD with that many minutes on the ice.
I'm not even trying to defend PD lmao, all I did was come in here and thank posters like yourself who bring me a good laugh
No more estate left in that in head thats forusre
