Danault was actually the 26th pick of the 2011.
His offensive production is actually right in line with what he’s done at the AHL level while in Chicago’s system. I buy into him as a 30-35 point producing 3rd/4th line player but I really doubt he ever becomes more than that. He just lacks that creativity and offensive vision needed to be a top 6 player. Can he fill in and provide value at times? Definitely but that’s about it.

Tim Kennedy was claimed by Carolina when Buffalo had to put him through waivers. Although he is now Hurricanes property, they loaned him to Rochester, Buffalo’s AHL club. He will not be eligible to be recalled by the Sabres because his contract is owned by Carolina.

Citing juniors stats as proving anything is ludicrous. Virtually every NHL player was a top player in junior.

I thought Stamkos was due back approx. March 15th. The NHL/TBL website has him out approx 4 months, date Nov 15 (+ 4 months = March 15th.) March 15, 2017 there are 13 games left. Those who know how Stamkos is, he will be prepared to come back asap. The writer said a couple of months yet to put on skates. That would make it February, and March would be a 3rd month (a full month to get back?) He will keep what he can in good working order until he could skate, I’m sure. You can bet he hates to see his team struggling to try and win games and he’s not there to help them get to where they want to be. He was in excellent health, playing his best, and great scoring (top on TBL team this season when he went down). I would think he’d be back sooner than what’s being said above. We’ve had so many injuries this year (last year, and 2015 right up to the SCF against Chicago) to our forwards and defensemen. It seems like we get players back, then boom we lose a couple of more that same game night. We all know how much he wants to lead his team as captain to SCFs and win the SC. I know he will physically and mentally ready to come back and lead his team, I’m not holding my breath that he won’t be back healthy after playoffs have started, especially seeing where we are in standings today. We are fourth in standings in the Atlantic division, only two points behind Boston Bruins and Ottawa Senators (although the Senators have only played 37 gms, TBL 38gms, and Boston Bruins 39gms.) We are 8 pts. behind MTL 50 pts (who are #1 in our Atlantic division.)
It doesn’t sound as bleak as you make it sound for our Tampa Bay Lightning team. I like my outlook better…but who knows…strange things happen.
