I know that Coconuts need a good source of water and sunlight to reach their maximum size or volume.What a ridiculous question.......How does anyone answer that?

Hell never prove he can play there.... unless he plays there.It’s simple - if he gets a little stronger, proves he can handle playing 2c on a regular basis and is productive he should play there. If he does not demonstrate this, he should play 3c while he continues to develop. That’s my opinion. Common sense I thought.

Did Danault ever prove he was adequate for the top 6? Cause Ive never seen it, and hes 25 now.
I really wonder why NY and Vancouver didnt wait to displace Brock Nelson and Jay Beagle to play Pettersson and Barzal. At first it was because they were 19 and not 18 and now were talking about bulking. Talking about Kotkaniemis development is like talking about QCs secularism bill, theres one side that looks stupid as hell.
My post says that Danault has never proven that he could play in the top 6Seriously, That’s what my post says. IF he proves he can handle 2c on a regular basis and is productive he should play there. It’s pretty obvious that he needs to be a little stronger to compete at 2c and I am sure he is working on that any many other aspects of his game now and will continue in the off season. Obviously they would give him a chance to earn (play there) 2c and with some time they would know if he is ready or needs more development time on the third line.
I don’t think I can explain it any more simple then that. Not really a complicated concept.
Well, he's top 50 in points for centermen this season. If you want to argue he isn't an elite 2nd line center, go ahead, but he's a legit top 6 guy at this point.My post says that Danault has never proven that he could play in the top 6

Barely top 6 for centers WHILE playing 18 minutes a night and playing with Tatar and Gallagher, yeah, no, he's not a top 6er, not anymore than Kotkaniemi.Well, he's top 50 in points for centermen this season.

Dude you need to take a break, you're not seeing things clearly. Top 50 in points for position, playing 18 minutes a night is basically the textbook definition of a 2nd line center.
I love Kotkaniemi, but it's clear the kid is getting worn out in the home stretch of the season. It's okay though, he will be great. I know the wound from Galchenyuk is pretty fresh, but this is not the same situation. Claude has trusted and played KK at the C position for the great majority of the season, and he will continue to do so next season. You can't just ignore that, focus on 1 or 2 must-win games where he didn't, and claim it's Therrien/Galchenyuk all over again.
47th for points
95th for goals
57th for ice-time
80th for shots taken
44th for hits
47th for ES ice-time
61th overall for p/60
Quite the top 6 C, yeah. QOT is probably top ten, too.

Interesting that these didn't make your list. And this was just with 2 minutes of looking.

One would say 6 per team, so 6*31, but just two years ago there was only 6*30 top 6 spots, and in a year there will be 6*32. To me, there's the top 6 players (Stops at around where Tatar is) and then there's the good enough to be top 6, provided the players can carry him to respectable numbers. Danault would fall in the bottom of that group, as he's showing, he's around Shaw, Drouin level.How many top 6 forwards do you think there are in the league?

Those are 4th liner statistics. Nobody cares. McDavid doesn't need to win faceoffs to be the best player on the planet, its overrated. Blocking shots means you don't have the puck.
ES scoring is jacked up by QoT and ice-time, his p/60 is 61th overall, add in that he plays with a top 10 RW and Tatar, and the value tanks really low.
I want to develop him, no better way to develop a skill player using him, as *drumroll* a skill player.He needs to earn the spot weather he bulks up or not. Why are you so quick to give opportunity to players who don't earn it? Let me guess, you are focused on point totals only?
You are a bit too early with the Danault vs Kotkaniemi swap. Remember, we are fighting for the playoffs and we are not a rebuilding team. If we were in full rebuilding mode, you might have a point, but we are not in a full rebuild
You can bring all the stats , all the good things Danault do, but will never be able to change his one track mind ; when Danault do good things "it's because he plays with Tatar and Gallagher , so he gets no merits". If the line plays bad it's all on Danault .He's 29th in even-strength points despite being 47th in even strength ice-time. That should tell you all you need to know. You trying to handwave that achievement away because he gets ice time with Gallagher and Tatar, who are by no means superstars, is hilarious. And P/60 is not a good tool to use in his case because he gets a disproportionate amount of PK time vs. PP time.
Anyways have fun continuing to hate on him for some bizarre reason.
Stop it. Any team with Danault as their 2C is in trouble. He’s a very very good 3C, that’s it that’s all.Well, he's top 50 in points for centermen this season. If you want to argue he isn't an elite 2nd line center, go ahead, but he's a legit top 6 guy at this point.
