Vincent Desharnais is experiencing a real professional drama in this Stanley Cup final.
While he wholeheartedly hoped to contribute to the quest for the precious trophy, he was once again left out for the first match.
This decision is a blow, breaking his heart and fueling deep frustration, although he remains positive. For Desharnais, being sidelined at this crucial stage of the season is one hundred percent heartbreaking.
“I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t frustrating or disappointing. There were lots of emotions going around. My Friends and family told me I didn’t deserve this, and that didn’t help. I was entering a cycle of negativity. I walked away from that because I wanted to find the positive.” (credit: NHL.com)
“I’m proud of the way I reacted because I was able to enjoy our victory in six games. We don’t care if I play or not. I’m part of the Oilers. I played 78 games in the season and 15 more in the playoffs. I helped the team get here and I’m proud of it. »
No matter what he says in front of the media, Desharnais will seriously consider turning the page and considering other options for his future.
The idea of signing with the Montreal Canadiens on the free agent market is becoming more and more appealing. By joining CH, Desharnais could bring his defensive robustness, his ability to block shots and his physical game.
Additionally, if Montreal decides to sign Desharnais, it could open the door to a David Savard trade as the veteran defensive end plays a similar role. (and both are right-handed)
Savard, much older, could be traded, while Desharnais could take his place and bring new energy to the Canadiens’ defensive brigade.
Desharnais could see Montreal as an opportunity to revive himself and feel valued. His desire to play a key role in a team that believes in his abilities could well lead him to the CH.
For Montreal, this is a golden opportunity to trade Savard. The French-speaking media could not blame Kent Hughes for trading a Quebecer, because Desharnais would come and replace him immediately.
By signing a young, solid and motivated defender for the Peanuts, they could not only fill a crucial need for defensive strength, but also prepare for a future without David Savard.
Above all, Desharnais could ensure that Arber
One thing is certain. Desharnais has the best possible attitude for the culture of Martin St-Louis.
“When you’re not playing, you bring intensity to training, something positive. You want to make guys better.”
“When a teammate is having difficulties, you go and talk to him, you smile, you take his mind off things. It’s just being here, being present and enjoying every moment. That’s all I control .”
“It’s part of the game, part of the business. That’s what it’s like to be part of one of the two best teams. »
All the more reason to sign him in Montreal. He will keep smiling, even if he is not playing. When he goes to play, he will work hard. And he’ll be able to take care of the dirty work of throwing away the gloves.
Vincent Desharnais in Montreal to trade David Savard…he’s a “no-brainer”…
