Rumor: Marinaro: Philip Danault turned down $5M/6 years

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Lack of top end talent or guys who have that potential beyond Suzuki and very questionable group of top-4 LD seem like the obvious ones to me.

Kotka has higher potential than Suzuki. But not by much

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Bruins would be a great spot for him. Slides right into Krejci’s spot. I don’t think Bruins re-sign Krejci.

Bergeron
Danault
Coyle

Would look good in Boston

 

[YoSoyLalo]

I danault why he would turn that down

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

I danault why he would turn that down

Cause the French Media and his dinosaur coach have Phil’D his head with the fantasy he’s a #1C

 

[Maitz]

I dont care loosing him on FA to be honest... I like Jake Evans more going forward

 

[Maitz]

Danault is not a 2C if you ask, they guy has no offensive upside, he is a really good 3C tho. He just thinks he’s a offensive center for reasons I can’t understand

I think I am twice as good as ROY use to be in net . I am willing to bet you I would change my mind real quick once I had to face NHL shooters . For me to continue to argue results would be delusional on my part . If Dauault is arguing results he will become a head ache pretty quick .

gross

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Danaults best value is a mid round first or packaged for a top 15.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

So that's Marinaro's modus operandi?

Wait a 3 or so weeks when the original news of Danault rejecting a 5 x 6 contract dies down and then go public that Danaut refused a 5 x 6 contract?

We've known this over a month now.

Some insider.

 

[Nihiliste]

Interesting. Mackinnon called him the hardest player to play against in the league. If this year sets his value more appropriately, maybe the Avs can pick him up in the offseason.

 

[RasmusAndersson]

I’m honestly quite surprised at how many Habs fans wouldn’t re-sign him. I get he’s not a 1C but he literally plays head to head against the other teams top line every single night and still does fairly well, still averages 50 points per 82 the past few seasons, and is in his prime. And then considering what Mackinnon said that shouldn’t be taken lightly given how good his underlying numbers are too. Shutting down top guys is absolutely invaluable and lets KK and Suzuki focus more on offense. Ya he’s not a 1C but his underlying numbers are honestly great and he plays a crucial role. I’d sign him to that contract on the flames for sure. Take some of the matchup pressure off of Lindholm Tkachuk and Johnny Money

 

[Captain Controversy]

Oilers could use a 3rd line C for the playoffs. Much like DD trade back in 2016-17.
Maybe Tyler Benson for Denault?

 

[Roshi]

PA or agents should warn players how dangerous Dzingeling in contract negotiations can be.

That might end up costing gazillion dollars for Danault.

He didn't 'announce' it or say it in any way as if he was breaking it. He was asked about the Habs and brought it up on conversation. There's no operandi, just take a deep breath.

...and it would be great if Danault was actually doing that this year...but he's not, his defensive play has been mediocre at best this year and he's providing a negative impact on his line offensively...honestly, he's been playing like he doesn't give a rat's arse...

 

[Greek_physique]

Seems to me like he's very similar to Pageau..so not sure how much more he wants.

 

[Ezpz]

As a rental Danault is still worth a first+. He's got Mackinnon calling him the hardest player to play against in the league; GMs eat that shit for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

 

[Rebels57]

What's crazier to me is that Bergevin wants to pay a guy that should be his 3C $6 million while he still has glaring flaws with the rest of the roster.

That's Bergevin in a nutshell. For every great move there is an equally terrible move around the corner.

oh ya the AHL bound kid for a, check notes, hardest Center to play against from Mckinnon.

 

[YP44]

Could a deal between Calgary and Montreal work to avoid quarantine?

Monahan + Bennett for Denault + _____

As a fan of neither team not sure what the blank would be.

Tyler Benson is good. He has amazing vision and he is getting better.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Crazy he turned that down. He’d be lucky to get 4 x 4 at this point.

Come on now... at least losing him on the FA market gains the Habs a contract spot. Benson is useless we have many better prospects than him

Habs wouldn't be able to pay what Monahan is worth to the Flames and, honestly, don't need him...Bennett + Kylington for Danault
