Giving up 1 year of Chiarot for 2 years of Eller (a player who management knows everything about, no surprises) at the same cap hit, When you have 2 LDs in Norlinder and Guhle who should be ready in the following season is good business to me.
if you give up on chariot, you down grade our defense,
if chose eller before danault, you down grade our center core...
plus Norlinder and Guhle are not nhl ready... they will have to play in laval (same for caufield except if he dominate) cause they will be in great hand in Joel Bouchard (Just look at kk before and after laval 😳)

Fair. I just think that if Tatar walks, MTL have the options internally to deal with it, while Danault walking forces them to add someone either via trade or FA.
If Tatar walks, top 6 wingers are Anderson, Drouin, Toffoli and Gallagher. 3rd line wingers are Lehkonen and Caufield.
This is it, it was my point but you explain it really well 😁 plus after the season, if tatar have super great stats, we can trade is right to a team who will want to be first in this run, like a 4th pick i guess
