Player Discussion Christian Dvorak Part 2

[OldCraig71]

I'd take Danault over him but he's in the same ballpark.

You'd take Danault over McDavid.

Yeah, and Dvorak has good hands, especially around the net. And Dvo has a good shot. He's just not a play driver. But I think he could produce playing with a playdriver.

Like half the habs. A couple of play drivers and the team is very different.

What is up with his mouthpiece

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Dvorak is good defensively, that goal was on Wideman and Arber behind the net... Lost battles for no reason

No. Dvorak is not good defensivly. Dvorak is in the minus stats most of the years. Minus 11 in 2020-21, minus 19 in 2021-22. Danault is always in the + stats year after year, facing the best lines. Dvorak was facing lower lines fron 2020 to 2022 and he get the minus stats. My eye test see Dvorak is a slow skater and Danault is a fast skater with endurance. Big big difference.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

The Dvorak opinion is high at the moment. Because of his hat trick, one in an empty net. And one a lucky bounce on a skate. Let's see how you guys predict his numbers at the end of the season. And let's see his plus and minus stats, facing a lower opposition than Suzuki and Dach lines.

One question : how fast Dvorak skate on a level of 1 to 10?
Dvorak can check Matthews or McDavid and be efficient?

Great game.

Dvorak isn’t that bad and using plus minus as an argument is equal to using by a banana in a sword fight

 

[26Mats]

As Rick Tocchet, who knows a thing or two about scoring goals said after Habs acquired Dvorak, “he’s got real good hands, and quick release down low from the dot towards the net”, which is why Dvorak was positioned down low on Yotes PP

Before Dach and Monahan came, I wanted Dvorak either in front of the net or in the slot on the pp unit with Suzuki and Caufield. I still wouldn't mind him there, but now Dach and Monahan have changed things.

I disagree. Danault have a name in NHL. Dvorak is only barely knowned here. His fanclub is very very very limited. And for a good reason. Beleive me on this. He soon will be forgotten.
Dach and Monahan are ahead of him. And probably next year another one will shadow Dvorak. Dvorak have the chance to have Gallagher and Anderson on his line.

I would agree for a simple reason : boost his stats to send him elsewhere.

I’d say Dach and Dvo are on par on the depth chart but that’s just an opinion and Danault defensively is a rare breed so if you use him as a measuring stick then all of our centres suck defensively lol

At least you admitt Danault is a rare breed defensive C. There is barely ten like him in the league.
Sometimes they are usefull in a long season and in PO.

What are these rumours around Dvo to the Flyers? A friend of mine reads the tabloids and brought this up. I haven’t had much time to follow rumours like I used to when I joined this site. Cheat sheet anyone?

It's just the media speculating the Flyers could be interested in Dvo because Sean Couturier is out for 4-6 more months.

Just fans/media searching for things. Flyers off to a good start with Torts and they need a center. If the Habs are willing to trade for cheap and be able to create cap, there might be a deal there.

2nd rounder and B+ type prospect would be my min asking price. If another team jumps in the mix and likes that price, highest bidder gets him.

At the moment, Flyers have $2.87M in cap space. Salary in and salary out would be tricky

 

[The Great Weal]

Minnesota makes the most sense and they would probably pay more than other teams.

IMO, Flyers would have more interest in Monahan vs Dvorak, given expiring contract (Couturier will be returning) & ability to slot him on the Wing when Couturier returns by end of season / playoffs

Reasonable to assume that yes. But we are not in the busines to trade players for cheap and we are not really tanking on purpose either. I think the Habs are content with our centers at the moment but if there is an offer we can't refuse, we will listen.

One more question... If the Habs trade either of Monahan or Dvorak, who is playing 4C if someone gets injured? Adding Monahan made a lot of sense and that goes past getting a extra 1st rounder.

I’m not advocating dealing Monahan , only stating who I believe Flyers would target

I know. It makes sense. I think they will chit chat but not be too serious about it. GM's like to make calls to see if they can acquire for cheap all the time. Feel out process

As long as Habs remain part of the herd (US Thanksgiving now only 3.5 weeks away), there will be no clearance sale by HuGo.

They might trade some wingers for cheap but they are not trading any D or C for cheap. They know the market value for sure

 

[rik schau]

Looking better every game,showed a bit of nastiness too,good stuff.

Was this already posted:

Major last-minute announcement for Christian Dvorak and we now know why he was not traded

Despite numerous rumors and despite the fact that there's really no room for him anymore with the Montreal Canadiens, Christian Dvorak has still not been traded

www.habsfanatics.com

Dvo injured right now, so probably won't be traded, and won't be ready for the start of the season.

 

[NobleSix]

Pretty nice that they waited until the middle of summer to get his surgery done.
