Quite literally a 'jack of all trades' for the Kings
Logs around 18:00 TOI. Deployed in all situations. Wins over 50% of his draws.
Can play up and down the lineup.
If the team needs him to provide better than secondary offense he has a role in the top six
If the Kings require Danault to shut down a top opponent's line, he is a solid checker with sound three zone awareness and detail.
Provides some push back physically at times. Competes. Plays the game the right way. Nothing exceptional in one category. Also no real deficiencies in his game.
Trustworthy
