Danault does not have offensive upside. He’s exactly what we see 40-45 pts max and that’s playing with talented forwards.
No way he gets more than Gallagher.
3 million a year, 4 years is generous
If he can pt up 40 - 45 points as a 24 year old, it's definitely possible for him to do better in the future.
... Gallagher signed his deal when the cap was lower, so it was a higher percentage. Gallagher took a lower cap hit for the assurance of a lower deal. No way a hear and soul player who was on pace for 30 goals is worth 3.75. He's a bargain, not market value.
imo Danault is already better than Eller, and on the upswing. The conversation should start at 3.5.
