Look at the numbers...
Saku Koivu GP=29 G=7 A=16 Pts=23 +/-=0 PIM=24 PPG=2
Pierre Dagenais GP=20 G=7 A=5 Pts=12 +/-=1 PIM=6 PPG=3
IMO Dagenais is here for one thing: help offensively. He is not such a threat defensively neither...
You can not expect all players to be good on all fronts. Since he is in the lineup, the team has been producing more steadily offensively and winning.
Rivet is a defensive threat! Look at the games that were lost against the Flyers, the Caps and the Leafs! Guess what: Rivet was on the ice for the three winning goals! Don't tell me you expect Rivet to compensate with his offense!
My humble opinion...
