I didn’t watch any of the playoffs last season (just followed via online threads and articles), so I didn’t get to watch Danault play. When we signed him I was initially shocked at the term and was concerned for about an hour. Then I started seeing the logic in having him slot guys into more appropriate spots and give Kopitar a break on D. I thought this was all fine, but I still wasn’t hyped, just curious to see how it would play out.
After watching him play a few games… holy ****, I ****ing LOVE this guy! This dude goes balls to the wall AND has such high hockey IQ it’s pretty astounding. They’re definitely not the same player, but this really feels like a Mike Richards-esque acquisition. The dude oozes culture and is essentially the encyclopedic definition of “hockey player”. Even if he underperforms offensively, Danault will still be one of the most exciting players on the team IMO. Huge kudos to Blake and co for targeting him, I can’t wait to see how he and the team grow with each other.
