the reality is this
if he is in your lineup your in trouble
there is no DD PLAYING ON ANY CONTENDER AND NEVER WILL
go down the list Boston, LA, Hawks , etc...
their dd`s are in the minors or not in thier system and will never be key guys in their lineup
8-10 players need to be flushed out before we can even think of being a contender one day
we arent close and the quicker we start the better we will be
Look I don't know in which LA-LA land you live in but there is no player that needs to be ''flushed out'', you don't FLUSH OUT players to better your team, your players either improve because they are in this process (Pacioretty, Gallagher, Galchenyuk, Eller, Subban, Tinordi, Beaulieu, Bournival etc.), or when you have players who have declining production you either trade to get better players or you wait for your rookies to come in and do the job in a couple years. That's how you build teams like Chicago or LA...
The habs have finished 2nd in the East and 4th overall in the league, There is NO need to *FLUSH OUT* 8-10 players and David Desharnais will be playing this year to either stay or leave the club ( There is at least a dozen clubs that would line up ready to have him on their roster ) More so in the 3rd C capacity, when summer comes.
* When Galchenyuk is good enough to become our number 1 C, Pleky or DD will have to go and then we will have to make the decision, whoever between DD an Plek gets the best job done will get the spot.
