That's an overpay for Danault, both in term and AAV.

Danault will want top 6 minutes

He declined 5x5 from MTL so he's obviously wanting more. It's an over payment that's the price he's asking for

You give Danault $5,500,000 for a 3rd line role? Get someone else who can play on that 3rd line.

Nuge is better and cheaper. I wouldn't pay Danault that kind of money, he simply doesn't bring enough offense.

You realize he turned down 5mill x 6 right?

After his playoff performance shutting down top lines in almost every round someone is gonna fork over a tonne for him. He is one of the best shutdown centers in the NHL rn and whoever pays him is gonna have a solid guy.

Agreed. Get someone older on a cheaper contract like Getzlaf, Bozak, Staal…. 2ish MM.

Can't produce offence though. He's not worth that much even if someone pays it.
