Canadiens' Phillip Danault: Signs two-year contract with Canadiens

Danault agreed to a two-year contract with the Canadiens on Tuesday.

Analysis:

Danault was traded from the Blackhawks to the Canadiens during the middle of the 2015-16 season and ended playing in 21 games for Montreal, posting three goals and two assists. The Canadiens extended a qualifying offer to him just over a week ago, meaning they would've been able to match any offer he received on the open market. Danault is likely going to be in a bottom-six role during the upcoming season, so his fantasy value will remain severely restricted.
