Peace be upon you
Honestly, I could not care less how he produces, I am just glad to see our owner actually spending money for a popular UFA for once.
It is a good sign for things to come.

For a sniper he’s completely whiffed on a few decent chances lol

The goals will come; I'd move him to the 2nd PP unit since Tkachuk plays the position he normally would.
Tkachuk-Norris-Stutzle-Batherson-Chabot
Dadonov-Galchenyuk-Stepan-Wolanin/Reilley-Brown
Tkachuk-Norris-Stutzle-Batherson-Chabot
Dadonov-Galchenyuk-Stepan-Wolanin/Reilley-Brown
No kidding...that grade A chance with a few minutes left to tie it against the Leafs was a brutal miss...last night 3 fans in a row?
He did look better last night but yikes...he doesn't seem like much of a threat. He needs to get those feet moving.
Please remember that this is DadBod. It's gonna take a few more games and maybe a switch to a lighter post-game microbrew.

Oh, it’s just a weird pet peeve reaction of mine when I see “complimentary” player as in one who gives out a lot of positive compliments.

They dont play same position. Tkachuk plays infront of the goalie, Dadonov is the bumper up hey. We saw it work to perfection a few times but missed pass or whiffed shots. The first PP personnel are perfect as is. If anyone should be replaced, should be Norris but they are def trying to incorporate him with the other guy assets on that PP so im fine with him sticking there.
Having looked over Dadonov's goal highlights from previous years, I'm not sure where this 'Sniper' reputation is coming from. 90% of his goals are from near the crease like Tkachuk. He's definitely a complimentary piece on a good line. I think a more comfortable Stutzle will be a good match.

Tkachuk is net front he is the bumper............
Yeah Norris is handling the puck too much. Would much rather see Stuetle on the half wall on that pp.
PP1
Tkachuk, Stuetzle, Batherson, Dadonov, Chabot
PP2
White, Galchenyuk, Stepan, Norris, Reilly
Tkachuk and White - Net Front
Stuetzle and Galchenyuk - Right half wall
Batherson and Stepan- Left half wall
Dadonov and Norris - Bumper
Chabot and Reilly- up top
Would allow the sens to follow up the pp with Paul Tierney C Brown giving them the best chance to carry the momentum after the pp expires.
PK Paul, Tierney, C Brown, Watson and Stepan. That way everyone has a role and the ice time is divided up.

I wonder if Galchenyuk is ever given a chance at the first PP unit. For all his flaws he's was consistently a better powerplay producer than Dad (until last season).
Dadonov has been struggling for a bit now, going back to the all-star break last year he has 9 in his past 27. Hopefully, it's just a cold spell but regression can come quickly at 32 years old.

I don't think Dadonov will "unlock" until Jimmy is completely up to speed. It's pretty clear it's not working with Stepan and I don't think any of our centers are going to complement his game particularly well. I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up being a bit of an off year for him as DJ tries to find the best for him. He's not like Connor Brown or Nick Paul who can slot in all over the lineup and be able to play their game, he's a little more reliant on his linemates to create opportunities for him.
I certainly haven't been disappointed with him yet, because I've still seen flashes of the talent and ability, but the production is going to need to follow sooner than later.

The one thing I'll say is that Stützle looks much more confident and impactful when he plays the left hand wall like Batherson. Stutzle on the 2nd pp setting up Gally wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, but I do agree ideally he is on the #1 pp unit.
I also think DJ likes Norris on that #1 PP because he's the only natural C.

Such an awesome play to fend off the defender, take his time (with the defender flailing right behind him) and make the calm pass to the point. I was quite impressed and it calmed me big time. I think his offense is coming.

Right? He just seems to make the simple right plays. Obviously not at Alfie's level but he facilitates play for all of his teammates in a calm manner. Very valuable when you have a bunch of youngsters going balls out for offense.
I don't mind if he doesn't score a lot as long as he plays like that.
