Because he's going to have a better chance to win elsewhere, with better wingers and likely make more money due to tax savings.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>willinbulgaria</b></div><div>WOW - going into a season with Danault as your #1C does't smell like success.
Have we not learned anything in the last two decades with guys like Plekanec, Desharnais, Koivu?
These were/are good centers but they were never true #1C's - the limited success they did have only clouded our perception and because of that we never really made a push for a true #1.
Our last true #1 C was Damphouse that was over 20 years ago.

With 10M in cap space - go out and find a true #1 C to hold the fort until Vilardi is ready .

Lastly, what has Danault done to warrant such a salary? coming off his ELC and a RFA - he should be getting no more than 2.5M/year. If he wants to sign a bridge deal (2-3 years), I'd say lower that number to 2M.</div></div>


Other than Tavares (who we won't be getting), there will be none available. Hence why the trade for Vilardi who will be that within 3 seasons.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>willinbulgaria</b></div><div>So 1 40pt season (he's not gonna get 40 this year) warrants a 4x + salary hike?
Yeah, you can argue if he wasn't injured he would've gotten 40 pts again - but coulda, shoulda , didn't is what it comes down to.
I really believe that Danault over achieved last year by playing with Radulov - had it not been for that - and the need to thrust him into the #1C position, his numbers wouldn't have come close.
He's also not been able to elevate Patches game playing most the year with him when Patches was able to score 30+ goals consistently with the likes of Desharnais and Plekanec.

And just to give you a point of reference, Plekanec (which is who I equate Danualt to, but Danault has less skill) only received a 2.75M 1 year contract after scoring 3 consecutive 20+ goal seasons. After Pleks first FULL year with the Habs, in which he scored 20 goals and 47 pts he only received a 1.6M/year contract (2 years).

Sorry, but I just don't see the reasoning for awarding Danault the kind of money that's being suggested here - and I don't see him sticking long term on this team (maybe as a 3rd, eventually a 4th line center) - if we ask (and pay) Danault for more than that (2C or 1C), then we're just running into the same course we did the last twenty years with Pleks, Desharnais and Koivu - who were all great as #2 and #3 centers, but definitely were not #1C.</div></div>

Eller got 3x3.5 with less production. Also, Danault has leverage due to Montreal's lack of centre depth.
