PLD because why not

To answer your question of why not; because columbus has free will.

Danault is not a top line center. More of a top 3rd line center. Serviceable 2nd. Swap Kulak for a 2nd or a prospect if similar value and you have hit the value.

CBJ declines though. PLD may want out. But he’s signed. No leverage to force a trade. They don’t have to move him. And CBJ would get better offers if they put him on the market.

seems like a good deal for the bjs if they had to make a move. im sure they would much prefer to keep pld.

Caufield is our future and with the cap and Seattle draft , so Montreal might get rid of Tatar or armia because they have to be able to afford to sign them.

Fyi, as per Dom Luszczyszyn's model, Danault's (1.9) and PLD's (2.2) projected wins value are very much comparable, and both land into top line C category. True, Danault's points totals are underwhelming, but that says a lot about his defensive acumen.
