Here we are now four years later, and even though Danault may have been somewhat missed by the team in the early years of the rebuild, one could say that today, the Quebec player wouldn’t really have a prime spot in Montreal.
Especially when we compare Danault’s production this season to that of Jake Evans.

It’s a strategic, dangerous act by a repeat offender who likely hopped the boards with this act in mind.
