There it is. Farewell Phillip

 

[Drift]

Didn't see that coming

 

[Gurglesons]

Interesting.

 

[hamzarocks]

Hollywood Danult

 

[JoemAvs]

I mean that is actually shocking. About the last team I expected Danault to sign with considering their myriad of center prospects they have to fill out the roster after Kopitar. And I actually really don't like it for the Kings.

 

[benedictTavares]

Sucks he was a heart guy for MTL.

 

[ctmagic]

Wow

 

[seafoam]

Holy shit that's a lot money.

 

[Gravity]

Odd fit but sure. Enjoy LA!

 

[A1LeafNation]

He got his asking price.

 

[Mitch nylander]

This could turn out bad. Next Frans Nielsen?

 

[Yog S'loth]

ahhhhhhhh maaaaaaan

I was really hoping the Kings would stay out of the boat anchor-swallowing competition

 

[Clint Eastwood]

LA wins the "We overpaid Danault" offseason award. Congrats

 

[banks]

Didn't see that coming

I, too, Danault see that coming.

 

[SnS]

Damn. Didn’t expect the team, at all.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Nice! He won his bet! He got paid and terms!

 

[780il]

Well that came out of nowhere

Kopitar - Danault down the middle is pretty pretty good defensively

 

[EdJovanovski]

Weird considering their center depth
Convinced the Rangers are going to get Eichel now

 

[seafoam]

Odd fit but sure. Enjoy LA!

Yes it's definitely odd to try and fit all 33 million dollars in his pocket at once, I agree!

 

[Vukotal Recall]

Thanks for the playoffs. you were a beast.


ps Holy GOD that is a bad contract

 

[KingsHockey24]

Hellllllllll no.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Shocked it was the Kings who sign him.

 

[Quinnisinoverhishead]

They have so many centers in the pipeline. Don't get it.

He's a really good defensive center. Pretty much every star that has played against him has stated they hate playing against him. MacKinnon, Matthews, McDavid etc.

Just not sure of the offensive upside. Wonder what it will be $$ wise. If it's 6M+, that's a lot for a defensive center unless he becomes a 50-60 point guy consistently.
