Wikipedia has him at 183lbs. He's also listed as a center

I hope it does.
We've had some reasons for optimism before for this.
But this is the best chance yet to do it.
Connor is the potential ignition cap to create an offensive explosion.
If he can push people down the lineup it will improve the 3rd and the 4th lines theoretically. Is this the year Dano gets the right linemates and more minutes and breaks out? Or does the bench become crowded and further limit his opportunities?
Maybe not
He has all off-season to get lean and fit. Might also protect him from injuries.

I'm all for a fire hydrant build if it is actually muscle.
Orlov is listed at the same. Komorov at 210. Clutterbuck at 218. Crosby, Skinner and Gagner are listed at an even 200.
His agitating style and net front game could be helped by mass - but only if it is clean.
Agreed.
Even if Dano is very stocky, watching him play and train in camp indicated to me that he lacks quickness and conditioning. He'll need to improve both to maximize his effectiveness, in my opinion.

Man if this guy could break through this season it would be great. Hopefully him and Petan are deployed correctly with some good linemates and can break through and gain confidence in their game.
Go Dano! Would love to see him show up at TC in top notch shape - I know there are many that don't like his unorthodox style, but I think he's a very useful top 9 piece that can score.
Other players hate his ****-eating grin too when he gets in their grill.

Physique wise, definitely seems like he retains his weight/muscle in his lower body.
Players who don't require waivers for the upcoming season:
Ehlers (1 year or 6 games remaining - whichever comes first)
Morrissey (1 year / 77 games remaining)
Petan (1/80)
De Leo (1 year)
Kostalek, Lodge (1 year)
Poolman, Phillips (2/60)
Comrie (2/79)
Laine (2/87)
Connor (2/140)
Nogier (2/150)
Lemieux (2/160)
Niku, Appleton (3/80)
Roslovic, Spacek, Harkins (3/160)
I think that's it. Everyone else - including Dano, Lipon, Buddy Robinson, Andrew Copp, Hellebucyk and whoever else isn't listed above would need to clear waivers at the start of the year.

If Dano gets in shape, as he appears to be working at, I think Maurice will like him a lot.

Still think a Perreault - Petan - Dano 3rd line would be a huge force for this team. This line could get prime matchups and get some points on the board. Maurice would still have his Matthias/Copp - Lowry - Armia 4th line for defensive responsibilities as he clearly wants a "defense" line.

Unfortunately that might mean Petan is the odd man out
Yes please
I'd be good with these two lines as the "bottom 6".
I think you could also try...
Perreault-Lowry-Dano
Copp-Petan-Armia
That Petan line was very effective for a short stint. Lowry might offer a stronger defensive presence than Petan with Perreault and Dano, giving up a bit of offense for defense, but balancing out the bottom two lines.

Options a plenty. And the best part is Matthias, Petan, Copp or Dano will be the 13th forward instead of Thor. So A) there is no big drop off with our first injury and B) it allows for competition night in and night out as there is a quality player waiting to take your spot if youre not producing.
Yup, and you have Roslovic waiting in the wings to add another very bright young talent to the mix.

That was a real Savvy pick by the Jets, he is a guy that has the ability to play with very talented players, I always felt he would be a great third line centre with the skill to move up in case of injuries. He will start with the Moose IMO but will be an NHL regular very soon.

I have to wonder if his exercise program is going in the right direction if he has suddenly gained nearly 30 lbs! That won't do anything for his speed/quickness and stamina.
