ANY player who puts up the crappy numbers that DD has this season, especially when you consider the ice time and power play time he gets is, simply put, NOT an NHL caliber player. He doesn't deserve to be in the league, full stop.
The fact that he's a p'tit gars is just a bonus.
No one should be crying racism or bigotry because if anything, DD is benefitting from his linguistic heritage, not being punished for it. If his name was David Smith he'd have never made it out of the ECHL, let alone become a full-time NHL player with a multi-million dollar contract in his pocket. By any measure he's had a successful career impersonating a pro hockey player. But, as the Smiths once sang "that joke isn't funny anymore" and it's time for Bergevin to put an end to this ridiculous charade. DD (inasmuch as he ever was) is no longer a credible NHL player. He needs to go. That's not racist or bigoted. It's just a simple, straightforward fact.
I disagree with the Fact that Desharnais would not be in the NHL if his name wasn't french. I do agree that if his name wasn't french, a lot more people would be here asking for his head this season and it would be deserved since he has a horrible season. If his name wasn't desharnais, he would be playing elsewhere right now.
He and plek are far from great this season. The only reason I'm pushing to trade plek more is because I think he gives us the biggest return. Right now, Desharnais's value is next to nothing.
