Tomas Tatar, or Philip Danault. That’s been the question this season for the Montreal Canadiens. Despite having gone through wildly different career paths in the NHL, both players now find themselves in the same situation, in regard to their future in the Canadiens organization.
A former first round pick of the Chicago Blackhawks in 2011, Danault was acquired by the Canadiens at the 2016 trade deadline, along with a second-round pick (Alexander Romanov) in exchange for depth forwards Dale Weise and Thomas Fleischmann.
