Not bad, was worried Bergevin would give him way too much but he didn't.

Hi.

Is Danault a number 1 Center?

On Montreal probably.

 

[Oddbob]

I Danault about this. Pretty good money for a 1C I guess

I like this, I like it a lot!

Great deal for Danault.

3 years takes him to UFA. Gives them room to let him go if they win the lottery this year and have Hughes-Kot-Poehling in the future. There’d be no room for Danault except on the 4th. If they don’t get a top C in this draft then they can revisit his deal in 3 years.

He will have one year as an RFA after this contract.

Hi.

Is Danault a number 1 Center?

No. Ideally he is a third line center who can cover 2nd line duties if needed due to injury of real 2nd line center.

He will have one year as an RFA after this contract.

Nope.

They bought one year of UFA.

 

[PromisedLand]

Bergevin doing something that looks decent; Is this real life?

 

[thepuckguru]

Nope.

They bought one year of UFA.

Oops, I stand corrected.
