So we have it on good authority that the Rangers were indeed in on the bidding for Montreal shutdown center Phillip Danault when the free-agent market opened at noon on Wednesday, but dropped out when the bidding yielded a six-year offer of an average annual value of $5.5 million per season from the Kings.

 

This was a judicious decision from general manager Chris Drury, who is confronting a cap squeeze of considerable proportions for 2022-23. Morten Harket, lead singer of the band, A-ha, may not agree, but better to be safe than sorry as it pertains to the 28-year-old who probably doesn’t bring quite enough offensively to slot in as a second-liner and projects as a third-liner for a championship contender.

Whether or not someone thinks Danault was worth that contract and should have been signed, they should appreciate that Drury has his limits and stuck to his guns on it. He seems to be doing the same thing with trades (Eichel). Gives me hope he isn't going to budge there and overpay if a deal happens.

 

It seems unlikely this came down to a term issue after they just gave Goodrow 6 years. They must have felt uncomfortable with the AAV.
