Would the Flames consider Danault as a possible 3C / Ryan replacement?
From
Lebrun’s notebook this morning on the Athletic (Flames we’re not specifically mentioned, just my speculation):
Quote:
He’s 28. There’s still lots of good hockey ahead. But what’s a top shutdown center with limited offensive ability worth in today’s market?
It’s a question I put to a few rival front-office executives this week.
One said that, while he has great respect for Danault’s shutdown ability, he can’t see Danault making more than $4.5 million AAV on the market given the flat cap and his offensive numbers.
Another saw Danault at around $4 million a year on a four- or five-year deal.
