Player Discussion: Marko Dano

[JohnStaymoose]

My take on Dano. The guy has been through a lot for still a young player and he has maintained a great attitude throughout it all. I don't see him as a everyday NHL player but he provides depth within our organization especially now with Vesalainen jumping back home to Finland. Maybe getting more ice time and solidifying himself into the Moose lineup will give him the confidence to boost his game, it's encourging to hear him mention he's cardio and that he's working on that which is great seeing it's one of his weaknesses. The guy needs consistency and unfortunately he hasn't had much of a chance to find that with being in the Press Box and the waiver issues. Kids got a good head on his shoulders and has taken each bump with class and I wish him the best.

He's still got a one-way contract so making $800k per year in the A, probably gives him better chance to get a few more years of NHL contracts than eating popcorn in PB.

So is Sipowicz. Now he's just waiting for Ehlers to be put on waivers, dream day come true

Dano just needs playing time, essentially no game ice time for two years doesn't exactly help a player, let Dano play with the Moose for 20 games with regular ice time to find his game.

Our two 4th lines aren't exactly ever finding the back of the net with neither line even getting any half decent scoring chances, both lines are strictly perimeter lines, the plus is that both are usually in the other teams end more than their own!

FWIW Dano says he's happy to be on the Moose...

I keep forgetting we got him back
Good interview, seems like he's okay with the situation and hopefully he can get some minutes and get back up to the big leagues

He does seem to be a good kid with the right attitude, and it would be nice to see him succeed somewhere. I can't say the same for a certain prospect with a mile wide sense of entitlement currently playing for a team that rhymes with Broker it.
