Quick Quotes from Phillip Danault on Joining LA Kings

July 28, 2021 By John Hoven


Quick quotes from center Phillip Danault on joining the LA Kings:

Danault on signing with LA Kings – It was a pretty obvious choice to be honest. They showed the most belief in me and understood what I've done the past few seasons. And they laid out my role moving forward.

— John Hoven | The Mayor (@mayorNHL) July 28, 2021

My two-way game has always been my greatest asset. I try to make some passes and contribute to offense too. Playing behind Kopitar is a great idea, and taking some pressure off his shoulders against the opposition. — Danault

— John Hoven | The Mayor (@mayorNHL) July 28, 2021

Conversations with Danault said he met with Luc, Blake, McLellan, etc. to discuss his role. They talked about his role and the opportunity to mentor the younger centers coming up.

The Kings really want to make the playoffs this year. And I want to touch that Cup one day too. — Danault on his decision to join LA via free agency

If I can't score enough, I can stop a few going in on the other side. – Danault on people who chirp his lack of offense

Danault on what Luc said to him — He talked to me in French at he beginning, so he got me right there.

LOL

I think you need three good centers to win, so 2C or 3C isn't that big of a deal… other than maybe a little bit of ice time. — Danault

— John Hoven | The Mayor (@mayorNHL) July 28, 2021

Danault on lack of conversations with #goHabsgo — A little disappointed. I understand that part of the business. I'm not mad at them. They went with young guys and other contracts. Montreal treated me really well. Molson was great to me and my family. Great run to the Cup Final.

— John Hoven | The Mayor (@mayorNHL) July 28, 2021

Danault on Kopitar — He plays a great two-way game. His offense is inspiring. He can teach me some tricks and details, including on faceoffs. I've only played against LA a few times, but he's a true role model and I can't wait to be teammates.
