Grim 5 Report post Posted July 17, 2005 Yzerman, Zetterberg and Datsyuk will eat up much of whatever cap space is left. Maybe Dandenault is the odd man out. Being an RFA, his rights might fetch something significant... from lets say Montreal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToddDaGod 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2005 He's actually an UFA, a certain number of years played and under the leauge average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlakChamber 8 Report post Posted July 17, 2005 While he's certainly no all star, could we really trade him and have it be an upgrade? Dandenault's fast, should be cheap, and he can play offense and defense, which is nice if someone gets injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seth 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2005 ya i actually gotta totally disagree here... i believe dandy is a really good verstile player who is worth his pretty penny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larionov_8 12 Report post Posted July 18, 2005 Yeah he's not Lidstrom but I'd say he's good enough for only 1.1 million Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim 5 Report post Posted July 18, 2005 so what if he's fast... do the Wings desperately need that utility 7th defenceman? If MD is indeed a UFA then he's as good as gone. Les Canadiens would gobble him up in a heartbeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanBarnes! 293 Report post Posted July 18, 2005 Yeah, probably a little late to trade him now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted July 19, 2005 If the rule stayed the same, Dandenault has to declare to be a Group VI UFA. Until then, he's still an RFA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fightfan24 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2005 Either way they are not mentioning him for a roster spot at all, same with Schneider... I think all the juggling of Dandenault and him never getting settled have hurt his value, but in a league with such watered down talent he could be a comodity with those wheels.

Yzermaniac192005 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2005 I'd hate to see dandy leave...he's always been speedy and hes not exactly small, so i dont think the wings will be looking to trade him...hopefully he sticks around though because its hard to find somone who can play just about any position and do it well too.

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted July 28, 2005 He's never scored more than 10 goals in a season. Do we really need him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardcoretom21 71 Report post Posted July 28, 2005 definitely, he's quick, and he plays a very smart game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
al48 1 Report post Posted July 31, 2005 definitely, he's quick, and he plays a very smart game you mean except when he completely stops playing and forgets to touch up the puck on a delayed penalty thereby allowing Adam Oates to come swooping in to ****** the puck up leading to a goal?

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted August 4, 2005 Might as well close this one...seeing as it's highly unlikely we trade Dandenault anywhere now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
