Daniel Joseph Paille (born April 15, 1984 in Welland , Ontario ) is a former Canadian ice hockey player who played 657 games for the Buffalo Sabers , Boston Bruins and New York Rangers in the National Hockey League between 2000 and 2018 on the position of the left winger . Paille celebrated his greatest career success in the service of the Boston Bruins by winning the Stanley Cup in 2011 .

Career

Daniel Paille learned to play ice hockey in his hometown with the Welland Junior Canadiens of the Ontario Hockey Association. For the 2000/01 season he then moved to the Ontario Hockey League for Guelph Storm , where he played until 2004. In his rookie season for Guelph, he was the top scorer of all rookies in the OHL in seventh place. A year later he was invited to the CHL Top Prospects Game . In the 2003/04 season he set career records for goals (37), assists (43), points (80) and penalty minutes. This made him the OHL player with the eleventh best point yield. In the playoffs he was able to confirm these performances. Paille ranks second in the Guelph Storm for career goals (116). He was selected 20th in the first round of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft by the Buffalo Sabers.

The following season he was appointed to the roster of the Rochester Americans from the American Hockey League and scored, among other things, three underpaid goals and two hat tricks for the Amerks , the Buffalos farm team . In the 2005/06 season he was initially back in the American squad, but had his first NHL appearance on December 21, 2005 against the Florida Panthers . This was followed by 13 more missions for the Sabers. On January 14, 2006, he scored his first NHL goal in a game against the Los Angeles Kings . The rest of the season he spent again in the AHL with the Amerks, which, however, missed the playoffs.

The 2006/07 season he began in Rochester, but due to injuries to the Sabers regulars, he was repeatedly used in the NHL. In February 2007, Paul Gaustad was seriously injured, so that Paille got a regular place with the Sabers. In the following two years Paille was part of Buffalo's regular squad, but was given to the Boston Bruins shortly after the start of the 2009/10 season . In return, the Sabers received draft rights for the 2010 NHL Entry Draft . The transfer was justified by the fact that the Sabers had almost reached the salary cap of the NHL, the salary cap .

With the Boston Bruins , Paille won the Stanley Cup in 2011 . After six years in Boston and a brief stint at the Finnish club Tampereen Ilves at the beginning of the 2012/13 season , Paille did not get a new contract after the 2014/15 season and was initially looking for a new employer. He found this in September 2015 when he signed a professional try-out contract with the Rockford IceHogs from the AHL. After almost two months he received a permanent contract, although he left the team again in January 2016 when he signed a new contract with the New York Rangers . There he came in the rest of the season both in the NHL squad and in their farm team Hartford Wolf Pack in the AHL.

At the beginning of the 2016/17 season , the winger moved to Europe and joined the Swedish club Brynäs IF from the Svenska Hockeyligan for an initial year. At the end of the year, his achievements brought Paille an early extension of his contract by two years until the end of the 2018/19 season . After all, he won the Swedish runner-up with Brynäs at the end of the season in spring 2017. In the 2017/18 season , the Canadian only played 14 more games for the Swedes after he was seriously injured in a Champions Hockey League game by Thomas Larkin from Adler Mannheim . As a result, Paille terminated his current contract in August 2018 and ended his active career at the age of 33 due to the consequences of injury.

International

Early on in his career, Paille represented Canada in junior tournaments, such as the 2001 U18 Six Nations Tournament and the 2001 World U17 Hockey Challenge . In the Under-20 World Youth Championship in 2003 he was assistant of the Team Canada U20 with which he the silver medal won. A year later he was the captain of Team Canada, which won the silver medal again at the U20 World Junior Championship in 2004 .
