Devron Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 It’s an overpayment no doubt about it. Defensive specialist shouldn’t be making 5.5. Hell of a player I get that but.. Big Loss for Montreal. Overpayment for LA imo if that makes sense lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my point that he's more overpaid than Sutter - and he actually had better years. You don’t pay Danault for his points. You pay him for the points that other teams star players don’t get when he’s on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how you slice it, this is a steep price that Vancouver just should not be involved in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they’re convinced the Evans and Poehling are ready to carry the mail in the bottom 6. They also picked up Paquette. But yeah. Hopefully they get someone a bit better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Habs are done. They finish sixth in their division. That horrid person they have for a ?GM doesn’t last till Christmas. They had to keep Danault. He’s their best forward, if not player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You used the correct form of “their”. The rest of this is all crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoosh Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I’m a fan of the professional hockey team that cursed the words and meaning 6x6. And I still think this was waaay too much for a guy that has been around for a long time, and has a total of 55 goals. Everyone knows goals alone dont cut it but thats what fans wanna see and they ultimately win games too. Way too big of a commitment any way you try to look at it.

oldnews Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The combination of: - not ponying up 5.5 for Danault and then... - spending 4.5 on Hoffman for me might be the worst turn of events I've seen today. I like the Habs - so I'm not impressed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good chance, they pick in the top 10. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There fans need to suffer too - but they already got there two cups in this century; whereas, Vancouver is still talking about the Vancouver Millionaire.

Elias Pettersson Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 That's almost $1 million per goal. I'd love to get paid $1 million per goal... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like a 4~M player though so for 5.5 its a no well 6th on Selke voting gets you the same as not in the Selke voting and Sutter is a very good 4c for 4.5 mil less and 5 years less lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all had strong years last year but I’m betting Brown was a flash in the pan and will regress. Doughty is still a strong dman and Kopitar will be the same. When it will hurt them is in 2-3 years when those players really decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoppning the opponent from scoring 1 is pretty much equal to scoring One. With that Said, the Suttsy Contract is miles better but Danault is miles ahead skill-wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Why are people comparing him to Sutter? In the three years leading up to his 4.3 million dollar contract in Vancouver he averaged .37 points per game and had poor underlying defensive stats. Danault has averaged .6 points per game (nearly double Sutter) the last 3 seasons and has much better underlying numbers. Even if we put them as equal defensively and look straight at numbers, over 82 games you would be paying Sutter $143k per point vs $112k for Danault. The cap has also increased 15% so If you tack that on we paid Sutter ~5 million or $164k per point, a 47% premium. I am not saying Danault is a good contract, just nowhere near Sutter bad. To be in line we would have given Sutter about 2.9 million. As for their current contracts they aren’t in the same realm and not at all worth comparing. But bang for buck Sutter is a better deal on his new contract, worse on his old contract. Edited July 30, 2021 by canucklehead44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lies, damn lies and statistics. Analytics has it's place, but this isn't baseball. What I judge Sutter on is the eye test. It's very apparent that whenever Sutter is out of the lineup our PK and shut down lines look like trash. Sutter was the original Danault, although his play has dropped off in recent years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
