Confirmed Trade: [MTL/DAL] Denis Gurianov for Evgenii Dadonov (50% retained)

[Baksfamous112]

Weird trade for Dallas. Decent for Montreal as Dadonov had no value. They can take the rest of the season and see if Gurianov can fit it and then decide whether to qualify or not

So, can Drouin be next?

 

[PriceIsGod]

It’s like trading two trash bags in hopes you’ll go through the others bag and find something kinda useful

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Weird trade and don't really want Dadonov. Guess we save 400k

Gury is really fast, has a good shot that he doesn't use, or can't get into position to use

He's been given so many chances with every line and just can't put it together. Hopefully a change of scenery helps him figure it out

Good shot, with 2 goals this year. His shot is massively overrated. The last 100 NHL games he shoots straight into the chest. Dog shit shooter, dog shit player, dog shit defensively, dog shit IQ.. but yea he can skate fast. woot woot

I predict that Gurianov will be a minor piece in the trade for PLD this summer.

 

[NewtJorden]

A bad player for a bad player. Fair trade i guess.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

It's all about cap savings bubba

Yeah they kinda failed to mention the 50% retention part at the beginning. The difference still isn't huge.

His QO is way too high, he will never get it. He will sign league minimum in the summer, then be in the KHL in a couple years.

Seems like a cap clearer for Dallas

How so ? Dadonov is making more than Gurianov.

Edit: I missed something.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

When Montreal covers 50% of his hit, we are saving $400k.. as per the Tweets and reports and news and capfriendly, and

I didn't expect this to be the case. I didn't know Gurianov made that much. Saves only 400k but that could be useful. Also Dadonov is a good project to try. He was great for Vegas down the stretch last year. So yeah, underrated move imo

 

[krutovsdonut]

i guess the guri is still out on these guys.

Habs retains 50% on dadonov

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Change of scenery for both players and a fresh start.

 

[Agalloch]

So, can Drouin be next?

It would take a double retention for him. I don't see him being traded.

I expect a PTO next training camp... and ending like Galchenyuk.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Good shot, with 2 goals this year. His shot is massively overrated. The last 100 NHL games he shoots straight into the chest. Dog shit shooter, dog shit player, dog shit defensively, dog shit IQ.. but yea he can skate fast. woot woot

I know he can't score, but he does/did have a fast shot. He was one of the better shooters in his draft class

He just doesn't know how to get into position to use it. Just skates right into the goalie, or loses the puck lol

I only read the title.

Dadonov started playing much better this past month, so could be one for Dallas.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

I think is a cap savings and "good guy" move by Nill to both rid himself of Gurianov and give him a chance to do well with a change of scenery on a team with some solid young players.

 

[Freaky Styley]

I feel like this trade and the Nieddereiter one would have got roasted on here if a fan proposed them. Good deal for MTL - no risk, good reward

 

[Some Other Flame]

Damn good deal for the Canadiens

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Dadonov only has 4 games of NHL playoffs experience.

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Yikes this is the best Jim Nill could do? Theres a lot of better forward names still available that Nill could have acquired.
