You're coming off a your 3rd year off an ELC- you got 2 options- sign a fat paycheck and take 8 million to play top 6, top 2D pairing.... your family will be set for life money wise, your children and grandchildren will be rich, you will have the best house on the block and nicest clothes. More importantly if you get injured half way through your 8 year deal, you wont be left bald and bankrupt because you have been forced to retire...
Now would you rather take a 10% cut compared to similar players, settle for 6.5-7M and potentially lose 8 to 10M over 8 years, BUT this gives the team more space to find better players to play with you and potentially win a cup if not multiple....
What would you do?

Your options, if I understand correctly are:
1) 8y x $8M = $64M - or - 2) 8y x $7.2M = $57.6M - difference - $800k per annum / $6.4M life of contract or 10%
I would take the 8x8 seven days a week, twice on Sundays. Giving the management $800,000 per year "wiggle" room (10% less) will have very little difference on what the team can or cannot add. It's up to the management to make the cap work to build a winner.

Target Danault as a 3C?

I get the feeling he will be very expensive and one of those contracts a team will regret giving him. The magic might not work in a place other than Montreal. I could easily see him getting $5M for a long-term deal and underperforming, especially as he ages into his 30s.
It would remind me of Benning signing Sutter to the deal he did, except Sutter was 27 years old back then and Danualt is already 28.
