A player who regularly played against Christian Dvorak had this to say about him
Christian Dvorak is certainly the flavor of the day in Quebec, he is a member of the Montreal Canadiens since last Saturday. In fact, before, during and after his acquisition, we have not stopped praising the new second center of the Blue-White-Red since he is almost a perfect player. We are not the only ones to rave about him, even his opponents, including Max Comtois, admire the way he plays.
Here are the words of the Quebecer about Dvorak:
"He's a guy who is very tough to play against and doesn't take nights off. A lot of people talk about how good he is defensively, but you can't discount his offensive skills. He has a good shot and excellent vision for the game."
He even pushed the note a little harder, which shows just how little known and underrated this player is:
"He's going to be extremely good in Montreal. In Arizona, Dvorak was playing on a rebuilding team that was struggling to make the playoffs. He wasn't surrounded by a lot of people. If he's used well by the Canadiens, you can expect production up to 60 points."
60 points? Wow! That's a bold prediction, but not totally in left field. I keep telling myself, Dvorak is not only a dominant player on the 200 footers, he holds a phenomenal upside offensively, something Phillip Danault doesn't have inside his vault.
We love Phil Danault, even though he left the team, when beforehand, his desire was to wear a Habs uniform for his entire career. That being said, Dvorak will be able to play Danault's role of being sent out against opposing trios without Dominique Ducharme getting nervous. On top of that, he will contribute to the offense by scoring important goals. Let's not forget that he lifted a Memorial Cup in 2016 and he was very dominant during those highlights.
In short, once again, we give a thumbs up to Mr. Marc Bergevin, a very proactive general manager!
