no coach would use a 50 pts player as a 3rd line C...
nowadays, 50 pts per season nets you a 6M contract at least, who in their right mind would pay 6M+ for someone to play on the 3rd line ?? I mean BC, you sure you arent Marc Bergevin ??
So if you were GM, would you use Danault on the second line to justify his salary??
Even if Kotkaniemi were to have a breakthrough and be on the way to 60 points at $925,000?
By the way, Pittsburgh used Jordan Staal as 3C and he got 49 points twice and 50 points once for them. So yeah, if the Habs had two better C, Danault could be a #3.
I made a mock up of the Habs CONTENDER lineup for 2021-22, with salaries. Danault fits as 3C, but ideally we would trade Drouin for help on D and maybe draft one more player that could hit the roster for 2122.
