TVA Sports relays a report from a podcast of Guillaume Latendresse and Maxim Lapierre that suggests that the Montreal Canadiens are planning on offering a 5-year contract worth $5 million per season to Phillip Danault.
They mention that Danault would be looking for a 6-year deal in the range of $5.5 to $5.7 million per season.
Danault, 27, is eligible to be an unrestricted free agent after the season. He is a strong even-strength producer and one of the best defensive forwards in the league. In 71 games last season, he had 13 goals and 34 assists.
