Only concern with trading Dady is this: will it decrease the probability that he signs here again with a team friendly deal. If no, it would be a ggreat idea to get him some playoff experience if we fall out!
Great deal at 3yrs x 4 mil but his next deal will be worrisome.
5 years at $7 to 7.5 million is a bit scary imo.
He is pretty durable though, only missed 7 games in the last 2.75 years
He's a good 2 way guy, a lock for 25+ goals, 60+ points but he has his flaws.
If he could ever finish on his breakaways, he'd probably be a 30-35 goal guy.
Barkov and Huberdeau have cooled off and Dadonov has disappeared for a while now, as decent complimentary players tend to do though.
I understand it's more likely he re-signs in FLA out of him and Hoffman but if we do re-sign him, we definitely have to move one of Yandle, Matheson or Stralman imo.
First part of the season, it was heavily favored to re-sign Dadonov over Hoffman but for me, it's more of a toss up now as Hoff has been way better in the last 20-25 games.
Long term, I prefer Tippett with Huberdeau and Barkov over Dadonov, very conflicted if we should move him if we're sellers. He'd probably come back as he seems like a shy guy who is very close with Barkov and now Bob but if he finds success with the team we trade him to, he may be gone for good.
