Dear Capfriendly, you can't think that PLD is Garbage top-6 center and that Danault is available. - Signed LA Kings fans.

Danault who has a NMC is the last place LA would look to move for cap space.

They have 4 centers that can play in the top 6 — Kopitar, Byfield, Danault, and Dubois. I don’t see Byfield staying at LW long-term, so this is just an option for clearing out that logjam at center. They can then utilize that cap space to target improvements for either defense or goaltending.

Also, never said anything about Dubois’s abilities as a player, just his contract length/commitment. If anything, this opens up more opportunities for Dubois to bounce back.

You can disagree with the value, but I’m just looking at something different. I agree that it would likely take an overpay to get Danault, but I also feel like CAR is a place he would waive for if it comes down to it.

Trevor Moore - Phillip Danault - Viktor Arvidsson and then Kevin Fiala has been our most consistent and reliable line for the past one and a half seasons. We won't be breaking it up.
