That's my usual MO...and I'm doing that with Tatar....but a 2 way, Selke calibre pivot who has anchored one of the league's best possession lines for a few years is quite a valuable asset.

Dano is the most valuable trade asset... by far;
solid #2 pivots are a lot rarer than useful wingers

Question IMO is whether Danault would be open to signing a $5M-$5.5M long term deal with CBJ, if so I could see a deal eventually materializing for PLD.
No other team in the league is able to part with a proven 28 & under C capable of playing 16+ TOI, as part of a package, and the fit with Torts would be perfect.
Add Poehling + 1st and I think a deal gets done. Assumes CBJ is dead set on a C coming back there way of course, and they’re not interested in a pure futures package

Totally convinced regime was never going to that number if he is the third C moving forward
Its time to let the kids play and see where they are at . No issue with Dano but he is what he is and not thrilled with extending another 29 year old to a mega deal .
If Dano has to play a top 6 role in 2 years ....WE ARE IN TROUBLE
Not enough , need to include a CC and not RP
RP right now is worth another 21-22 year old who hasnt proven anything but has some upside

No other NHL team can match that offer w a proven youngish top 2C. Unless Jarmo is ok with not getting a C back in a deal instead willing to go with Kakko etc.
Add to it, we no longer live in the age of the hockey trade - there’s obviously an internal spending cap imposed on every US GM.... it’s a pure question of solvency for CBJ.
How badly do they need to make the playoffs this year based on ability to survive as a franchise, and not go under? I suspect futures deal is a no-go, they need NHL ready talent who can contribute immediately towards that playoff goal, but affordable enough to meet their salary structure.

It’s on RDS and I think the Canadiens are streaming as well!
If its a solvency issue the wiesel better handout some Zona millions
Looks like this league may finally not live in a fantasy world where multimillions were given out to hit a black circle object
I’d go with Browns-Steelers.
