Player Discussion Philip Danault

[Top Corner2]

I liked him in his draft year. Seems like a nice mix of skill & smarts. Probably a B prospect at this point, but should be ready soon.

Ceiling is a good third line player.

Smart, good defensively (positionally), but has no offense. Like DLR.

Good start but Berger needs to really roll up his sleeves and start acquiring 3rd liners and bottom pairing dmen if he wants to get this team ready for next season.

Bergevin was with the Hawks when he was drafted so he must know him pretty well.

Bournival who can win faceoffs.

 

[Wats]

Less injury prone Bournival? His F/O #s are pretty bad in NHL so far but he's still a rookie.

We are truly collecting all the top bottom 6 players in the league. Great time ahead!

Midget, bottom 6, midget, bottom 6, midget, bottom 6 ...

Strong face-off? That's not what the Stats show

 

[Habitant#1]

$10 says he plays centre ahead of Galchenyuk

Strong face-off? That's not what the Stats show

Here's something the stats show: 32 NHL games.

Let him get used to the size and speed (and experience) of his opposing centres. He's 44% as a rookie. Way better than Wenneberg, Bennett, Spooner, Eichel, McDavid...

We couldn't even get a 2nd this year for both???

Is this a joke?!

 

[Le Tricolore]

So a good bottom six guy to replace a good bottom six guy? This makes sense.

Chicago doesn't have a 2016 2nd round pick. Maybe there weren't any better offers. I can't say I'm disappointed. We got a young player and a 2nd round pick.

One thing MB knows is bottom 6ers and he's a hometown player to boot. Hopefully he shows he's good enough to be a regular. Bottom 6 is jammed, exiting stuff:


Desharnais
Eller
Mitchell
Byron
Flynn
DLR
Carr
McCarron
Hudon
Andrighetto
Danault
DSP
Lessio

 

[Skip Bayless]

Mitchell's replacement

 

[Fazkovsky]

Start the garage sell and get mantra or pearson

Midget, bottom 6, midget, bottom 6, midget, bottom 6 ...

6'0 does he really weight 160 pounds at 23 years of age ????

Either he has no muscle or his bones are thin

Andrighetto, Hudon, maybe McCarron, and Desharnais i wouldn't call bottom 6 players. But it does seem a bit ridiculous at this point trading for a player like danualt, not saying he's bad, but not really the type of player we need.

Who knows maybe he'll surprise me.

 

[DangerDave]

Sounds like MT's kind of player. I guess we found our new top 6 forward

 

[David Suzuki]

How did we not trade Weise for a 40 goal scorer is beyond me
