The last Danault thread on this board.
Hopefully Habs don't make a panic move for a French Canadian player. There's some quality veteran D like David Savard and Julien Demers they can sign. Please no Sergachev for Drouin 2.0.

Brassard seems logical.
Not really. He wasn't trusted to play center in NY. What's the point?Brassard seems logical.
I was thinking to myself: why are we starting a new Danault thread?
Ugh, no thank you. Talk about the most vanilla and inconsequential player I’ve seen. He adds nothing.

every morning phil danault gets up, looks in the mirror and sees Patrice Bergeron looking back at him. He could be his own episode of House.

If that's the objective for next season, then yes, we should sign him.He's a French Canadian and should help Montreal secure a high pick in the 2022 draft.
His value and what another team will pay him are not the same thing. I’m sure he will get over 5 mil perWell to all those that laughed at him for turning down 5M AAV for 6 years, and said all year that he shouldn't even be getting 3M, he's about to get paid and we'll see if they were right or the joke's about to be on them.

Still, he doesn't take hard minutes away from our young centers and I don't want them shell shocked next season. I'd much rather Bonino for a year or two.
Agreed with most of the above.I'm not sure it makes sense to plan for the alternative.
-Montreal's going to be in a division with Tampa, Boston, Toronto and Florida.
-Montreal's going to be in a conference with Tampa, Boston, Toronto, Florida, both New York teams, Washington, Pittsburgh, Carolina and Philly.
-Weber is likely gone for at least the season.
-Montreal will likely be without 2/3rds of the line they've most heavily relied on the last 3 regular seasons (Tatar-Danault-Gallagher).
-Price will likely either be out short-term or be gone to Seattle.
I was higher on this team than some during the regular season and I really enjoyed the Cup run, but unless Montreal can hit a real homerun in Free Agency, I have a hard time seeing Montreal's path to a playoff spot given all the roster losses and competition. Doesn't it make more sense to, instead of making a panic move, keep your powder dry and take a gamble on a Brassard type to take some minutes to make sure the young guys aren't completely overmatched and get a good pick in what is reported to be a very strong 2022 NHL draft?
