Are you mental? You just gave danault 5 years at 7 million.

People do that with RNH Hyman etc. quite often

They don't get called 'mental'

(I mean I criticize it but not so harshly)

If one acknowledges analytics, context, etc. then it becomes easy to justify Danault getting so much please check out his SKATR chart it's exquisite

Dan-o is also such a smart & tactful player ✔

Go ahead and explain your outrage a little more please. Danault is regarded as the best two way center in the league by the leagues top superstars. The caps need a guy like that in their top 6. Given our team’s systems, I would also expect him to produce offensively.

If you want to be polite and rational and explain what you think he should get, go ahead. I’d appreciate not being called “mental” because you disagree with a number on the screen.

Sorry, very tired and saw danault getting that contract i couldn’t tell if it was a joke.
Yes he’s very good, maybe even elite defensively but he doesn’t drive much offensively. On that line maybe he could. I’d just hate giving 7 million dollars in a flat cap for the next couple of year to a shutdown centre. I agree that the caps could use a very good shut down centre, but for 7 million my goodness. I love watching him work every night, but I wouldn’t quite be as happy at 7 million. If you want to put that much value in 1 defensive centre go ahead

No worries, I get way too into the arguments on here for no good reason lmao. It wasn’t a joke, but I see what you’re saying.

Danault is 28 and would be an amazing second line center for the remainder of the Ovi-Backstrom era in Washington. I was putting a lot of stock into his defensive capabilities when trying to come up with a number for his contract. He’s also a reliable half a point per game player over the course of the last few seasons. I think he could be a 50 point guy in DC, especially between Mantha, Ovie, Wilson, Oshie, Sprong, etc.

Maybe 5.5x5 for 4 or 5 years is more reasonable? Or 4 years only so his contract expires with Ovie and Backstrom and we start the rebuild then?
