Player Discussion Phillip Danault - Damn-oh ! Edition

[Tyson]

He developed into more than that and I'm pretty sure he's not done yet.

I think another 50-55 point season an argument can easily be made he is a solid 2nd line center. Great player

Those guys are the centers I think are top 6 Cs, and at the age where they got their spots.

Theres Kuznetsov, Krejci, Point and Couture who got it later, like 21, 22. When is it too late ?

Do we admit that Kotkaniemi just isn't as good as these guys and say that Bergevin blew a tire by drafting him, or is Kotkaniemi good enough and he should play at 19, like every single ****ing elite center that is playing in the league right now ? At one point you need to commit.



How about Gallagher set a career low for assists ? What about that ? Literally his worst career APG, and by quite a landslide, too.

Lool bro you're trying too hard...

Just admit Danault is a decent player! We will not be mad...

Is this all that you have to say ? Ive just showed you Kotkaniemi's peers, Ive showed you you're wrong. And this is your answer ?

 

[ECWHSWI]

One should always strive to improve oneself regardless of endeavors or profession,no?

sure, that in no way mean he/they will improve though.

 

[ECWHSWI]

yup, 70 pts two way C right ?

Was two points short of his best season and you want to complain about his lack of assists. Well, he was too busy being set up to score goals.

No he was not. Youre never too busy to score goal, and you certainly don't put up fourth line assists numbers while scoring 30+. Thats just ridiculous. Danault has killed as much offense as Desharnais did in his worst years. Hes just not an offensive player, and to be fair, thats fine, Eller wasnt either, and I loved him, but sadly the treatment both players got is really different.
