Depends on the extension $ & term for Danault.

We don't need Danault we need Bertuzzi far more, Detroit already has it's future 3C with either Veleno or Rasmussen and we'll be drafting our future 2C with either Perfetti or Rossi.

Wings pass, not even close

You can make an argument for not liking a trade, but calling Danault a 3C is ludicrous. He's a quality 2C "at least", and an argument can be made that he's even a 1C. Look at his 5v5 stats at NHL.com and you'll see that he ranks very high amongst all the C's in the league, top 10 in a few offensive categories.

He lacks PP creativity/production, probably prevents him from being a true 1C, but he's a 2C easily.

First off i've never said Danault was a 3C, Just said that Detroit has their future 3C with either Veleno or Rasmussen and that will will probably draft our future 2C with either Perfetti/Rossi. So in other words Danault isn't a need especially not at the reported $6 million he's asking for.

Danault ranks 13th in the NHL in PTS/60min by a center at 5v5... no DET center in the top 50

Danault ranks 8th in the NHL in PTS by a center at 5v5... Larkin was 29th.

Danault ranks 4th in the NHL in AST by a center at 5v5... Larkin was 21st.

Not to mention he won 54.5% of his faceoffs.

An argument could be made that Danault is better than any C you have on your roster right now. Debatable, but a debate can at least be had. To say you don't "need" a C like that is a little out there.

For the record, I really hope the habs don't trade him.
