Cmon, you can’t be mad we have a ton of cap space but then also be mad when we give Dadanov, a sought after free agent, a decent contract.

Ain't mad. Just feel it's too high.

Unproven NHL player is all.

 

[Brokin]

Put him on the top line unless they sign Kovy. The heck with the nut job Rad as the guy isn't a big goal scorer and the simoleon's/term he's looking for are off the charts for a guy who could fall off the wagon.

So was panarin. I’m willing to take the chance on a 30 goal KHL scorer.

Put him with Barkov and Huberdeau and he’s good for at least 50 points easy. 28 year old that can actually skate.

 

[I am not exposed]

Good start! Still a lot to do. Hopefully it will be a good day tomorrow!

 

[Egblad]

Glad to see it. Always liked Dadonov and glad he is back.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Hopefully he's not top line, I think is style is better with Tro.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Wonder how this will affect Jagr coming back

 

[Bure1096]

Hopefully he's not top line, I think is style is better with Tro.

Exactly and as I said before, he replaces Jokinen's $$

 

[Bure1096]

I think that ship has sailed.

Agreed. Do you see us being in on Radulov?

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

This is a great deal. Anything over 40 points is great value for that price.

 

[16Skippy]

Glad to see it. Always liked Dadonov and glad he is back.

Same. Not sure why we got rid of him but it's awesome he was willing to come back!

But also, again, who has watched him play in the KHL? In which ways and to what extent has he improved?

 

[Chaos2k7]

I think that ship has sailed.

If so that is another 5million to spend.

Eh. That will take away from that line I think. But we'll see.

We shall see how Panarin looks without Kane won't we.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Starting on the 2nd line and 2PP is a better spot to start.

Another shootout specialist, I think even

Vanek - Trocheck - Dadonov

Would be an upgrade over last season.

 

[BB88]

There's the 1st lines Rw.

Didn't someone sometime guess/mention it would take around a 3y/6.5M deal to get him?

 

[PBPantherfan]

Whew I was right about dadanov

Good news go find us more.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Malgin is Swiss.

So hard to even take Harvey seriously.

 

[BB88]

Malgin is Swiss.

So hard to even take Harvey seriously.

I read that as he's completely guessing but Florida could be a target for him if he wants to come back.
Barkovs Rw, have Mamin/Dadonov/Barkov share the language.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Would love either Kovy or Radulov, but it has to be mutual on their side too. We shall see.

 

[Brokin]

Malgin is Swiss.

Yeah, but his family heritage is Russian and he speak the language as he interpreted for Mamin yesterday. Still a step behind?

Not expecting much defensively from Dadonov and Vanek is a black hole in that regard. Rather have a defensively responsible winger on that line... maybe Mamin?

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Yeah, but his family heritage is Russian and he speak the language as he interpreted for Mamin yesterday.

yeah Harvey isn't getting benefit of the doubt here lol

 

[pantherbot]

Good signing, I think it's a fair contract given what he's done in KHL. He also knows what to expect from his experience in North America, so shouldn't be too much of a transition.
