Only reason for either team (beyond ooo French), is that Dach has cost certainty for the next few years while Laf will likely be looking at a short term bridge.
If both players break out next year, Dach will provide value while Laf will be demanding a huge contract and possibly another short term one.
Dach has the potential to be a better deal in the short term, while Laf will likely be getting paid close to what he is actually worth.
Both players at a point per game for 4 years, Dach will be at least $5M cheaper.
