Looks about right. Although the one nitpick I have will be the Danault contract probably requires a Full NTC & more term. I know seeing a 7 or 8 year contract would look scary for the future, but that might be what it takes for him to stay with the team. Or else we might see the AAV more in the range of 5 - 5.5 mill aav.

Additionally Danault mentions that the looming contract negotiation impacted him negatively and interfered with his game. If you basically guarantee him 8 years with a full no move clause - I do believe he plays his consistent playoff caliber game without having to worry about having to relocate his family. He gets to relax and spread his roots at home & I could see a world where his offensive output and playmaking ability is reinvigorated.

Glad to see Danault and Drouin being part of the team. I wish they have a success year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Yes I is ridiculous that Tampa was allowed to circumvent the cap and when other teams (Toronto and Montreal) started doing it at the deadline they got warning that there would be an investigation if their players returned conveniently for the playoffs. They are over the cap by 19 Million that means they should have to play without 2 of Stamkos, Kucherov, Headman or Vasilevsky in order to be cap compliant. How far do you think they could have gotten without any 2 of those Guys? I bet they couldn't make it out of the first round!</div></div>

Montreal didn't even put anyone on LTIR until a few weeks past trade deadline. They did not attempt to go over the cap.
Maybe Toronto had a thought to do so, but I don't follow Toronto.

As for Tampa bay yes; If Kucherov is not even a member of the Tampa bay lightning, they are still a top tier team. More skill than Toronto, more speed, one of the best goaltenders and defense cores in the league. If kucherov wasn't on the ice, someone else would of been and I would think it's very likely that they would still be in the Stanley cup finals. The games would of played out differently but they'd still be in the finals.

Tampa is leagues ahead of any other team when it comes to depth, talent, speed, scoring and defense.
Not even Colorado comes close to them.

Without Kucherov listed on their roster; they would still be the top contender in the league
