2021-2022 fair offer for Danault

Created by: Wreckless
Team: 2021-22 Montreal Canadiens
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 14, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Let’s ignore all of Pageau’s previous playoff success and only focus on this year to compare him and Danault, two Quebecois shutdown centers who both reached the final four in the playoffs this year.
Pageau reg season: 14g 14a 28pts +10 16:47 toi 56.7 fow%
Danault reg season: 5g 19a 24pts +9 16:52 toi 52.5% fow%
Pageau playoffs 3g 10a 13 pts +10 18:08 toi 55% fow%
Danault playoffs 0g 2a 2 pts -2 19:02 toi 52% fow%

Pageau signed pre-Covid under expectation of an increasing cap for 6x$5mm. $30mm total contract value.

I’d give Danault $27.1mm, but spread it over 8 years, not 6, to compensate for the fact that Pageau is the superior player, especially when factoring in that goal scoring (even when it comes in the package of a shutdown center) comes at a premium.

Give Danault the same limited NTC that Gallagher has and nice signing bonus money in the low escrow years of the new CBA.

Final kicker, the Habs can coordinate an endorsement deal with Danault and Boston Pizza or Dominoes or whoever else to make up whatever $ he might leave on the table.

Holy moly stop trying to trade Drouin + a prospect for top players. It's not working.

I would love to sign Danault to that contract, but unfortunately I don't think he will accept. From the rumors, I think it will be very close to a 5 million AAV, similar to Pageau's contract. Those numbers help to try to negotiate it down though. Anything under 5 million AAV and I would be satisfied.

Pittsburgh would not part with Letang if they are going for another Cup run. As long as Crosby's there they plan on winning. Why would they trade for an underperformer in Drouin and retain cap on Letang.
