The Montreal Canadiens cannot afford to lose Phillip Danault as he enters the final year of his deal. Not resigning him would be a big mistake.
After being poached from the Chicago Blackhawks in 2016, Phillip Danault has grown into his own with the Montreal Canadiens. Marc Bergevin pulled off one of his biggest heists when acquiring Danault, giving up Thomas Fleischmann and Dale Weise for Danault and a second-round pick that turned into highly sought after prospect Alexander Romanov.
