Phil Danault - Called in Sick against the Flames? Asked for a trade?

[MonkeysUncle]

This team is making me sick, so I won't be coming to work today. I would like to request a trade to another NHL fandom.

Not suprising, imagine alor of players are how long can this go on for, wouldn't be surprised if players are Hiller isn't man for the job, style of play wise and culture wise

Wow, Phil does not seem like the kind of guy who would ask for a trade, regardless of his dire things are. This is… surprising, to say the least.

Moore and Phil to Toronto for mathews....

His hockey IQ is aces, he knows a disaster when he sees one.

Apparently he called in sick because he couldn't see...


playing another game for this garbage team

Interesting............. Walsh seems upset with Marco's post. He is either mad that this is public knowledge now, or that the guy's sources do not have the facts and it is indeed a rumor. Sadly, he did not actually did not deny it, so we are left wondering.

Haven't had team drama since the ToddFather randomly picked on Kaliyev after the Kings went on a 8-1-1 (in their last 10). Then I remember it hurt the chemistry so much they couldn't win a damn game in January or something and it finally led to his firing.

So yeah, thanks Danault for getting this Fire Hiller thing started!

Danault asking for a trade is the best possible outcome. The problem is a team with no long term Center depth needs to get a Center back in a trade. Phil is has 11M remaining on this contract (minus what he’s already been paid this season).

This definitely would put a huge hole at Center. Which is why I hope it’s not true. (Plus I like Danault.)

However, our current center dept is Kopitar, Byfield. Danault and mostly Turcotte. None are producing offensively very much. Defensively Danault is the least of the problems with this group.

If Danault goes, does Laffy get minutes at C if a trade doesn’t bring back a C?

Maybe Phil doesn’t like his reduced minutes?

Re the “calling in sick” stuff, they are on the road, in a hotel, where the doctors are also. I think it’s pretty obvious that he was sick, informed the coach, and stayed away from traveling party.

Maybe he was quiet quitting this season. I don’t know. The problem is we don’t know if it’s even true or what his reasons for wanting a trade would be. We can speculate it’s the coach or the system or whatever. But until he or his agent says, we don’t know.

If they do trade him they need a center back in return. We can play Helenius on the 4th line, Turcotte on either the 2nd or 3rd line, the new guy on the other of those 2 lines, and Byfield on the wing with Kopitar & Kempe.

Well that picking on Kaliyev thing turned out to be justified.
