This afternoon, Marco D'Amico reported that Philip Danault, whose name has been rumored for the past ten days, asked the kings for an exchange. And forward, Whose flu is it now? enough suspectwould have Hubs as one of his favorite destinations.
No, it's doesn't that means he will definitely come to Montreal. However, he would like to return, and the Habs have talked to the Kings about it.
However, it should be noted that Dano's agent is the colorful Allan Walsh, who is not afraid to make his name known.
And in response to the information D'Amico shared, Walsh seemed quite furious. In response, he said that the journalist did not take the time to confirm and that it was all “shameful”…
But he never actually denied it.
You never bothered to check on me. Shameful, attention-grabbing reporting. #NotAnInsider https://t.co/Dke4rVfCNP

We know that an agent's job is to protect his client. So it's safe to assume that's exactly the purpose of Walsh's walk: to take some of the heat off his client's shoulders.
And since he did not deny it, then it is logical to assume that all this is true: if it were not so, he would call it nonsense or something else. But the only question here is how the information was presented.
Clearly, this is the hottest topic in the NHL at the moment. Dano, after all, could leave at any moment… and the NHL's transaction freeze (which begins Friday night) has everyone scrambling to get this problem resolved in a timely manner.
Kings don't will have to trade him by Friday, we agree. But at the same time, if this drags on, it is also not in the interests of the Kings.
