oh man that danault contract......

Close to what, a golf course?

That’s a very good contract for him lol. He’s probably gonna want more term. I think you’re underrating him a bit.

he asked for 5-5.5 this offseason. 6.5 for a guy with very little offensive ability, but good defensively.

He rejected a 5.5 mil contract, he was probably asking for more, and as a ufa there will be a lot of competition. And he has a fantastic offensive impact, insanely underrated. playing with drai he’ll thrive

We dont need a second Martin Jones

Yeah I just picked a random team, they might take a chance on him. They traded for dubnyk lmao, so you never know. Plus they’re getting marody and jones

...but the cigar is still in Groucho's mouth 👓👨🚬

Why is there no grouch marx emoji ☹

Anyhow these contracts don't seem to get them there

It's funny tho if he switched situations with RNH this past season he'd have way more points than him and naturally better in other regards too 🤷‍♂️

Only 9 fewer points as it stands

😕

For Danault I would do 5.75-6

He’s worth more tbh

over payment on nuge, Danault and Larsson. The three should be, 5.75, 5, 3.75

Agree with you here. Also, it's not gonna be that easy to get rid of Neal, Turris and Koski.

Maybe nuge and Larsson, but danault is taking a discount if he accepts a 4 year deal at 6.5. He’s a top 20c

he's not good enough on offence to warrant it, he's top 10 defensively, but top 40 overall because of the lack of offence. He will be paid like a 2/3C. I'd go 5x5 on Danault and he'd be the 3c behind Drat and McD, moves Coleman alongside Drat

Danault has outscored Nuge 5v5 for 3 seasons running and he doesn't play with McD or Draisaitl (Nuge only had 15% of his total EV ice time without one). I'd rather pay 6M to the #2C that can score 5v5 and win 55% of faceoffs. Oilers need 5v5 players and Danault is one of the best currently.

Danault's last 3 seasons: 30g 94a 124p (16, 45, 61)
Nuge last 3 season: 66g 99a 165p (37, 44, 81)
Nuge has outscored Danault in both total points and EV points, I'm 100% for the oilers getting Danault for his faceoffs, defence and abliity to step up to the top 6 incase of injury or loading up the top line. Nuge will get more money because of the higher offensive ablitly and good defence. He's also more versitile as he can play C or LW. Danault doesn't produce enough offence to warrant a 6mil + contract and based on this season, Nuge doesn't deserve it either.

You need to look at analytics a little more

Not sure how you can state Nuge has more EV points then Danault. Last 3 years Danault has 112 EV points and Nuge has 92. One of these players doesn't play with Hart level line mates and has much higher Dzone start%. If I had to pick between both of them its Danault especially if Tippett is going to go to Dynamic Duo on same line for half a season again. Pretty sure every NHL center can play the wing so saying Nuge is more versatile really doesn't stick.

Look for your self lmao, last three seasons at 5on5 nuge has had 34+33+14=81 and danault has had 22+29+10=61. idk why you're arguing with me, I want Danault on the oilers but if it's gonna cost 6 give that money to nuge.

LOL So Nuge gets all 5v5 time but Danault stats are only from "close" such a joke. RNH 5v5 close for last 3 years is 50 points.. once again lower then Danault

Yeah I would only do this if they threw in a pick to offset Koskinen
