I will go first.
Dano. Dano was not reliable in his own end. I know a few posters shared that view. Then he had that last game with Chicago, had like a 2 min shift, didn't get off, 3 times. Then slammed his stick on ice and coasted to bench. I went nuts in the GDT as it happened and said no way does he play again this game or next. It was noticeable live as it was happening. He didn't play again that game, or the next. Then he was sent down, then traded. The Chicago Blackhawks don't want that type of player. They traded it for an asset they wanted, 1LW, Ladd. If we win a few rounds who knows, everyone would he saying ala Vermette that he was the difference.
Dano is what a 3rd line all O guy. 24 pt pace last year at -7. I know I am not crying that he is gone.
So I don't think we "misused" hosed or other wise screwed him by "Q-ing" him. at all.
Dano made his bed and slept in it. Fine.
Put me in the camp of going with Q over all this angst.
