Confirmed with Link: Dadanov to Vegas for Holden and a pick

[Golden_Jet]

Holden 6’4 and 212
Pick is Vancouver’s third

 

[HSF]

Cap room for Ottawa....

We have cap room

 

[Icelevel]

Only thing is 34 yrs old.
But money saved and daddy gone is great.
Extra spot for a young forward and extra money for.....a young forward.

 

[DJB]

Wait we get the pick?!!!?


God love you Pierre McGuire!!!

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

Post the Dorion galaxy brain.

Anyways, most teams wouldn't need to make this move, but he has no other choice.

 

[Micklebot]

I'm good with this, I think Dadonov could fit well in Vegas and rip it up but he just wasn't a fit here, Holden is ok and fills a short term need, but we got lots of salary relief which is awesome

 

[DaveMatthew]

At this point:

Chabot - Zaitsev
Brannstrom - Zub
Holden - Mete
J.Brown

Holden and J.Brown rotate in and out based on performance (and Mete moves from RD to LD accordingly).

 

[SixthSens]

Wow, we get the Canucks 3rd this year too.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

We have cap room

even more now.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

I would've been okay giving Daddy another chance this year, but not going to complain about this.

Given how his contract was back-loaded, part of me thinks that the finalized deal is going to have us sending them the pick.

 

[Sensinitis]

Time to add Eichel boys

 

[Canadian Game]

Crazy deal. No idea what Vegas is thinking here. Clearly they’re gambling on Dadonov.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Dadonov didn't really add much, so to get a 3rd round pick and a decent bottom 4 dman out of it is pretty good. Holden will presumably hold down the fort until Sanderson is ready.

 

[SensFan1010]

Are we moving white/pinto to rw?? Whose filling in our 3rd line rw?

 

[Rodzilla]

Cap space cap space yeah we don’t do anything with it any way.

shut me up Dorion

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

At this point:

Chabot - Zaitsev
Brannstrom - Zub
Holden - Mete
J.Brown

Holden and J.Brown rotate in and out based on performance (and Mete moves from RD to LD accordingly).

Nah more like this

Chabot - Zub
Holden - Brannstrom
Mete - Zaitsev

 

[Micklebot]

And a 3rd... Holy cow I was expecting like a 5th or something, not bad at all.

Now make use of that fried up cash for something worthwhile, if we waste on Stepan 2.0 all is lost

 

[IranCondraAffair]

A 3rd isnt that bad. No retention even? Were laughing. Thats the same thing Schmidt got.

Taken as a whole we got 1 year of decent play from Dadonov as a stop gap for 3.5M and watched him get outplayed by Batherson and Brown...so we turned him into a 3rd.

What can we really complain about?

 

[aragorn]

Great move, I doubt Holden plays much & maybe some idiot will take him at the TDL. Now who are they making cap space for?

Chabot - Zaitsev
Mete - Zub - Sanderson eventually takes Mete's spot.
Holden - JBD/J. Brown

- Brannstrom starts in Belleville.

 

[Masked]

Best part is that it opens up a roster spot for a RW.

 

[DaveMatthew]

Are we moving white/pinto to rw?? Whose filling in our 3rd line rw?

Formenton can play RW.

Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson
Stützle - TBD - Brown
Paul - White - Formenton
TBD - TBD - Watson

In contention for 2C: Pinto, L.Brown, acquisition
In contention for 4th line: Kelly, Crookshank, Tierney (if he's still here), Bishop

If Sokolov breaks in, Formenton goes back to LW.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

I don't think it matters if Holden is even good or plays. Seems like a huge win to shed the contract (if Dadonov doesn't return to form. I didn't think he was terrible)

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

Are we moving white/pinto to rw?? Whose filling in our 3rd line rw?

Sokolov....

 

[Liver King]

How the hell did we do this?

 

[Shruggs Peterson]

I like this move. Vegas went from moving Nate Schmidt out a year ago ago to bringing in Dadonov. Interesting for them
