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

[bleuetbio]

I mean you moved him but are spending $400k more for a worse player. Congrats?

Helps the tank though even more I guess.

At least, It feeds relationships between GM. Montreal helps Dallas on that one, maybe will helps the tank later

 

[MrHeiskanen]

It's a good gamble for the Habs.

I'd rather see what Gurianov can do than get a 4th round pick.

He is an RFA with a $3M QO.. I'd rather a pick.

 

[BeaverSports]

Gurianov has great speed and a wonderful release, but very limited hockey sense. I’m not sad to see him go, but also not sure the return fits. DeBoer is familiar with Dadonov, though, so maybe that is part of this.

Habs have plenty of picks.

Lots has happened then this season
Last time i checked, Gurianov was good!
- playing well and producing

I admit i havent followed him at all this season

19-20 : 26 goal, 11 assist, 37 point pace
20-21 : 18 goal, 27 assist, 45 point pace
21-22 : 11 goals, 31 points, in 70 games

Kinda hasty to trade a player who has struggled for half a season...

Dadonov : 185 points for the Panthers in 3 seasons, scored 20 goals, 43 points, in 76 games last season for Vegas.


Kinda strange that they both would have all of the sudden started to suck

 

[MXD]

Montreal using a retention on Dadonov means they won't be much active at the deadline.

They have two spots left and they have two TDL targets that are actually healthy.

 

[BKarchitect]

Captain Hughes, this is Private Gurianov reporting for Tank Service sir!

 

[HansonBro]

Dallas just traded for him, actually. Let me see if I can find the post about it.

This is his 5th team in 4 years

Well Dadonov will soon turn 34. Not to mention, he's a complementary piece, and absolutely NOT a play driver.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Dadonov has had an odd up-and-down career.

Ages 28-30
225gp, 81-101-182 (66 pt pace)

Rest of career combined
238gp, 47-54-101 (35 pt pace)

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Good value for the Habs imo

 

[BLNY]

He is an RFA with a $3M QO.. I'd rather a pick.

What kind of pick would Montreal have got? A 5th? Maybe? The odds that 5th round pick, or worse, amounts to anything are slim. Gurianov may not work. He may not sign another NHL contract. He aligns with part of Hugo's philosophy of obtaining prospects or young players that they believe they can work with. IMO, this is less of a gamble than a mid to late pick.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Dadonov is one of the softest players ever to don a Habs jersey. Why would Dallas want him? Strange.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Dadanov sucks, would rather have Gurianov. He's been passed around the league like a cheese platter.

 

[Wats]

Montreal using a retention on Dadonov means they won't be much active at the deadline.

Why's that?

 

[loadie]

Maybe MSL can help Gurianov with his game, if not, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out this summer

You have 20 games to "work" with Gurianov, then you need to sign him to a $3M deal.. you are renting a player while not in a playoff position I'd rather a 5th and have a 0.005% chance of an NHL player than a guy who is gone in 60 days but you do you.

(Assuming a pick is even on the table, which it probably isn't TBH)

 

[Wats]

Can he be a decent 3rd liner?

We don't have to qualify him and can resign him at a cheaper contract if needed.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

I'd rather picks but that was never happening

 

[bleuetbio]

I thought dadonov would have 0 value. Is gurianov a bust or what?

Montreal certainly didn’t lose this deal but oh boy are there some strange overreactions about a player who has gotten so bad that he is on pace for 3.5 goals and plays 9 minutes a night.

Gurianov won’t hurt your tank at all Habs fans. No worries there.

Dadonov with retention has value, the deal gives more space (half a million) to Dallas to make more moves and they gives someone who seem to not be in the plan anymore for someone who get a fair chance to rebound. Worst case scenario, Dadonov becomes a healthy scratch and you still save money.

Montreal can give a lot of chance to Gurianov until the end when Dallas doesnt have the time to deal with that on a playoff run.

So its a scratch my back and I will scratch your later IMO.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Can he be a decent 3rd liner?

No, he is one of the worst and dumbest defensive players in the league.

He had two skills: Skating and shooting.

His shot is all but useless in the NHL game because he is so dumb he can't find open space, so he has one skill and it is skating fast.

 

[Starry Knight]

Can he be a decent 3rd liner?

Not really. He's been the clear weak link on the team as the 3rd line RW next to Seguin and Marchment.

 

[LokiDog]

But how can this be? Neither was held out for trade reasons - I thought the rule was you had to sit for 3 weeks this year to accommodate the newest stupid trend in the NHL.
