So that we may finish high in the standings and do well in the playoffs. You forget about that. The players are used properly.
DD only makes 3.5M. So yeah our center getting the most O-zone starts isn't a star player... His cap hit reflects that. But we're still spending close to the cap. That means that our strength is elsewhere. On the wing with Pacioretty, or another center in Plekanec. On D with Subban and Markov and in net with Price.They have higher cap hits and are better players. DD is a support player in a crucial role. Ideally you'd want a star player in that spot. But we don't have that player at the moment.
Eventually Galchenyuk will replace DD. Perhaps even this season. Would be great if people could stop crying about the present situation so much because there's not much MB can do about it but wait until Galchenyuk grows into a better player. AG will have the whole camp to show what he can do at center.
DD is hardly bringing the team down. He's actually contributing to our success considering how low a cap hit he has. But instead of seeing him as an asset people cry non-stop about his presence on the team and how terrible he is. It's almost childlike how some of you get on his case non-stop. Try to move on.
When DD gets traded or leaves via free agency, I wonder which poor local player will the HF blood hounds turn their attention to.
and you wonder why people arent happy with the whole thing ?
