It’s time to sign Danault to an extension

[GrandWazoo]

Danault is the only one of the aging group of players who I would have no issue re-signing.

Danault's point totals look nice, but those are thanks to his linemates moreso than it is him driving the play.

I don't agree with that statement. Tatar went from a 0.5 PPG player to a 0.8 PPG player with Danault. Danault creates tons of chances every shift and keep the play in the offensive zone. He doesn't have the smooth moves or soft hands you would expect to a top line player, but he finds a way to get the puck where it needs to be. Of course without finishers on his line, he wouldn't have much points.

Tatar was a castoff who luckily found his way on a shit team with no offence

He would of been buried on other rosters , he simply had a career year at 29

Not taking anything away from his line mates , but he overachieved

Tatar/Danault/Gallagher have been excellent for almost 2 yrs.

Correct , and if thats your top line .....your doomed

 

[Habsy]

I think Norlinder is Petry's replacement. Very similar skill set.

tell that to the Penguins

IMO Norlinder is that PP QB Habs have been seeking, and if the sun & stars align might become Weber’s ideal LD partner

 

[Sal_Butera]

tell that to the Penguins

And the Oilers, Leafs, and soon to be Caps

Our huge mistake, and you can be sure we will make that huge mistake, will be to re-sign Gally.

Bergy loves his character players

MB did not hesitate to dump “team leader / character dressing room guy” Josh Gorges contract after a solid playoff in 2014...

 

[Rolex]

Gorges and Gally are not same level talent.

Gallagher looks like the kind if athlete whose decline could be swift.

I’m a huge fan, he could have been captain. But he may have more value to the club in a trade.

Gallagher for Nylander??

 

[Habsy]

They'd never do it due to age.

How many games have you seen Norlinder play? I think we need to reserve judgment on that.

 

[Sal_Butera]

That’d be my take as well, but gotta admit I’m curious if Shana-plan will feel the heat from ownership and if so, what potential repercussions are, including directives if any for Dumb-ass

 

[GEEMAN]

meh... 3 cups disagree with Sid and Malkin

How many cups , finals , MVP`s has Dano , Gally and Tatar have

Norlinder might become Petry-like in about 8 years.

We have time to wait , Nero isn't going anywhere
