I would’ve preferred a different move, but between this and not doing anything at all, it was a logical trade for Hughes to make.
If you remove this season (where Danault obviously didn’t work with his new coach), Danault remains a pretty effective player.
The fact he’s signed for only 1 more season after this year makes it a perfect transition move to Hage if things go smoothly with the young man.
I don’t know which other options are/were out there and the pricetag attached to them. But I wasn’t a fan of giving up too much for a Kadri (whom I hate) or a O’Reilly as they didn’t really fit into what should remain the objective for this team: start your cup competitive window in 2 years.
Love the trade and I’m glad Danault (who never should have left imho) is back. He’ll fill a glaring need as a left handed centreman.

New blog!
Interesting that you talk about the kids, as the Habs traded for Danault last night before the roster freeze.
This better not mean less playing time for the kids, specifically Kappy (unless it is to give him a little less PK time).
I suspect Beck is going back to Laval, not Davidson.
What does the lineup look like?
CC / Zuk / Bolduc
Slaf / Kappy / Demidov
Anderson / Danault / Gallagher
Texier / Evans / Voleno
DavidsonBottom 6 is probably fluid, but they better not play with the top 6.
Will be interesting to see what happens if/when Newhook and/or Dach come back.
I do not think Laine plays another game with the Habs.
The Danault trade happened a few hours after I sent the blog for posting.
Because of course it did.

Also, Texier has 1 move in the shootout, he used it last week, has been scouted, and for some fucking reason MSL sends him out there to do that one move that 100% of the people are expecting,I didn’t mind the selection all that much but I was expecting Texier to try another move, that one looks kinda dumb when it fails lol…
I guess it depends on the execution, Suzuki was able to use the same move for a while before goalies started catching on.
Really enjoying that K(i)DS line.
I’m still wondering if Kapanen is the “real deal”, he’s probably the one who’s impressed me the most so far simply because I was not expecting this kind of production from him.
Slaf also seems to have found another notch to his game, as he completes the line really well with his physicality.
If there is one foolproof indicator that expectations are different this year for the Montreal Canadiens, it’s the fans’ reaction to the team’s play.
[See the full post at: Canadiens Inconsistent, But Good Enough]good blog as usual, Hugo 👍
any particular thoughts on the Danault trade?

Looks like Evans might be out for a while…
*sigh*
Was it something last night?
Knee on Knee hit.
