Over the last 5 years Dvorak has 79 assists, 51 of them primary assists for 64.5%.
Over the last 5 years Danault has 138 assists, 82 of them primary for 59.4%.
While Dvorak's got the higher primary%, Danault has almost 1.74 times the assists of Dvorak.
Yes, Dvorak is a good offensive player, and yes he has a better shot that Danault. To this point in his career he has not had "way better offense" than Danault at the NHL level.
Again, not suggesting I'd take Danault over Dvorak. Nor am I suggesting that Dvorak won't join a new team and pop offensively. I'm just simply pointing out that to this point in his career, Dvorak has not shown at the NHL level that he has "way better offense" than Danault.
Slightly better? Possibly
Arguably better? Sure
Way better? No
