Yes more goals from Danault would be nice, but that's not what makes him so valuable, yes you win games by scoring goals but you also win them by preventing them, and as far as Centers go, you'd be hard pressed to find a bunch of shutdown centers that are better than Danault. He's also a good passer, he does have some offensive instincts, and I believe he still has room to grow as far as offense goes, I get your point, Montreal can't afford to overpay Danault, but 5.5 wouldn't be an overpayment for one of the best defensive centers in the league, that can score at a 50 point pace. Danault is in Selke conversations and could be a finalist one day, he's a very important player to the Montreal Canadiens, and while I like Ryan Poehling and Jake Evans, I don't think they are ready to take on as big of a role that Danault currently has.
