Speculation: Rumour, Trade, and Free Agent Speculation 2017-18

[KingBogo]

I don' blame him. Why resign the guy to play a few games. I have no clue why there not cycling out guys. Give Hendricks a game or 2 off especially back to backs and play Matthias. Dano can substitute for your guys who aren't 100%. It' gotta be really upsetting when your third lines has 10 goals total and you can' get into a game.

The team needed to have enough signed players at every position to meet the expansion draft rules. My suspicion is Dano was the player they really wanted LV to take but they won't bite and pushed for more.

And I'll apologize in advance if this opens up the XD debate

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Don't you mean if? Pretty sure Dano doesn't pass the PoMo sniff test.

Losingest coach of all time struggles to identify talent on roster. Shocking.

Good for Dano for refusing the stint. He has nothing left to prove in AHL he's shown to be a good 3rd liner with potential for no.

So does this mean Dano is getting traded soon?

Maybe if they can find a taker. Don't imagine he has much value especially considering where ever he went have to be kept on the roster as he isn't waiver exempt. A team with injury problems up front might be interested.

Nothing left to prove in the AHL? What exactly does his .57 points per prove in the A?

Kids not holding a job in the NHL, he has just about everything to prove.

I'd also think he'd want to actually get some game action in. See it for what it is...a conditioning stint. If Mo sees him not in good enough game shape it is unlikely he gets any game action in the NHL. Also hard to move him with no eyes watching play at any level.

 

[nobody important]

yes. there was an article yesterday or the day before about Dano in the freep. he said he turned down a 14 day assignment after consulting with his agent.

He needs a better agent. One that will think for him. What a stupid decision. Shit like this is going to cost him a career. At least, a highly paid one. I was feeling some empathy for the guy but not now. He can peel and eat shrimp from the PB buffet till the season ends now.

 

[EnglishJet]

In my opinion, you never turn down a conditioning stint. Dano should have gone down and played his ass off and forced PoMo (or another team looking for a depth forward) to take notice. He's all but buried himself with this decision.

All he's shown this year is that he can take stupid penalties at bad times.

He's also only scored 52 points in 94 AHL games.

We have a bevy of guys in the AHL that are playing better than he ever did down there. Petan, Roslo, Appleton, Lemieux is well on his way.

Hell, Spacek is almost at the same PPG ratio as Dano.

But yes..... Dano has proven himself yugely! What an insult to offer a conditioning stint with one of the best teams in the AHL where he'd get some big minutes and a chance to showcase his skill set.

 

[Maukkis]

Where is Dano going to get ice time from? Matthias, along with twelve other forwards, are in front of him in the pecking order, and they have no reason to waive him at this point. Unless guys start picking up injuries at an alarming rate, Dano's days with the Jets are pretty much numbered.

None of those guys have scored at a 1.89 points per minute in the NHL over their careers. Dano is right in a range with Teuvo Teravainen, Thomas Plekanec, Patrick Maroon, Andrew Ladd, Reilly Smith, Dylan Larkin, Sam Reinhart, Brad Richards, Jakub Silverberg between 2014-15 and 2017-18. He is 165th out of 414 among forwards with over 100 games over that span. So over he's career he's scored as a bottom end 2nd line player.

Everyone wants to discount what he did in Columbus as a 19 year old rookie. Fine. LAST SEASON he scored at 1.62 points per minute. 206th in the league among players over 30 games played last year. So while playing with garbage he was upper end 3rd line scorer. Not that this was 7th on the Jets.

Go look at Tomas Tatar's AHL stats. AHL stats don't tell the full story in some situation. Players that depend on hockey IQ to score points (Tatar, Moulson, etc) tend to score better in NHL that AHL. And some players that have great natural skills but little IQ don't always translate their lofty AHL numbers to NHL (Jason King for example).

It's not an insult to Dano to offer him a conditioning stint. Never said it was but nice try putting words in my mouth. But Dano is a proven NHL scorer at least the 3rd line level with nothing left to prove at AHL level so he didn't want to go. Good for him on the confidence in himself despite Maurice have little read on how to maximize the talents of his roster.

 

[Adam da bomb]

Hope we get something for Dano and don't let him just walk, but, is there any value in another 7th round pick?

 

[10Ducky10]

His an RFA after this season so I expect Chevy to re-sign him for under 1m per...that or trade him.

Sign him to ride pine? That's real nice of Chevy.

 

[BigZ65]

Hate how Maurice buries guys in the press box. When we actually need them they won’t be in game condition, will suck for 2-3 games getting up to speed and will probably get injured. Everyone on the NHL roster needs 3-4 games per month.

Is that what other teams do?

Who should he sign to ride the pine?

Hoped with Lemieux, Roslo and co up, Tanev would be in the pb or Hendricks if he signed a two year deal.

Where on earth are you getting this 1.89 points per minute?

Dano’s stats are meh at best, and when you subtract his Columbus stint, which is the sole reason his stats are average, he is not in the same class, no where close, to the players you compared him to.

 

[Adam da bomb]

I nominate HOlden to be Dano's pr guy and get us a 3rd round pick for him.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Queue the trade rumours again

 

[MrBoJangelz71]

Interesting, what reason would there be for bringing him up, other than a trade for Hutch?

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Or an injury to someone

 

[10Ducky10]

Comrie maybe?
Hutch didn't heal properly?

Dano had a higher points per minute than Larkin last year...I'm not going through the rest, but he scored at a high end 3rd liner last year while not getting any real chances. Dano is a proven scorer that Maurice just hates for no reason at all. It's not the first or last time Maurice will do this, but to think he is infallible is just ridiculous. Those "meh" stats last year blew Tanev, Copp, Lowry, Armia, Hendricks, Matthias etc out of the water. Offensively and in terms of possession. They all bring different things, but having those guys are guaranteed players everyday players (except Matthias) while Dano can't draw in is quite frankly ridiculous and stupid from every single level.

Dano is one of those players (like Tatar and Moulson and Marchessault, etc, etc) that don't look good but quite simply continually get the job done in effectiveness and you really have to watch the minor details to see why. Many old school coaches are just not interested in that type of player and would rather look for "pace" or "grit" or "hitting".
