Confirmed with Link: Habs trade Shea Weber to Vegas for Dadanov (Mod warning post #987)

[Dirby Kach]

I don’t like it

why? you can flip dadonov for an asset at the deadline or earlier

 

[Deebs]

 

[Colezuki]

We also don’t need to carry more LTIR on the payroll, which we’ve been struggling with for years

 

[covfefe]

So we get a declining 20/20 scorer in exchange for a player who can no longer tie his skates. And people don't like it. Right.

 

[Scotianhab]

I think the plan is for Dadonov to have a decent season and then trade him 50% retained for a pick at the tdl

This exactly. Could also help replace Anderson this season if he’s traded. Dadonov could fetch a nice return at the deadline.

 

[Milhouse40]

Woah....what kind voodo is that....getting rid of Weber<s contract and getting a 25 goals scorer we will be able to trade at TDL for a return.....This is obscene

 

[Kosseca]

so many winger now....

 

[waffledave]

Oh he is only signed 1 year. So he's traded at the deadline. Actually not too bad I guess.

 

[McGees]

 

[MrNasty]

So does Dadonov then go to Anaheim like he was supposed to at the deadline?

 

[ReHabs]

I guess Dadonov can be traded after.

Weber’s contract is worthless isn’t it?

 

[Anthony5967]

Habs fans saying they don’t like it. Are you kidding? Weber is never dressing again in the NHL. Dads is going to fetch montreal a solid return at the deadline if he’s good.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Sure. This works.

Thanks for your time Shea!

So we get a declining 20/20 scorer in exchange for a player who can no longer tie his skates. And people don't like it. Right.

And we wonder why, people laugh at the Habs fans are some of the smartest in the league!! lol

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Trying to add a skill winger they can sell at the deadline that can skate with Wright. Makes sense.

 

[Schooner Guy]

That's interesting. Dadonov has 1 year left at 5M. He's coming off a 20 goals 43 pt season.

Dadonov for a 2nd at the trade deadline.

This is likely just one move in a bigger overall plan.

 

[Draft]

AND he's left handed. Nice.

 

[bcv]

Very low cap hit if he's bought out.

Otherwise he's a vet that play with the young guys and pot in 20-20. Could probably be flipped for an asset at the deadline.

 

[Ezpz]

I like it Dadonov is a flippable asset and with only one year left we can retain at the deadline for a haul. Guy was a beast after the trade from Vegas got reversed too, really motivated him down the stretch.

 

[McGees]

The big surprise is Weber when training camp starts in Vegas...

 

[MarkovsKnee]

This is amazing! We save cap this year. Clear all cap space by next year.

I knew Vegas could be interested!

Sweeeet HuGo!

 

[Colezuki]

Yeah this doesn’t bode well for Carey but great news for us cap wise

 

[Spring in Fialta]

This exactly. Could also help replace Anderson this season if he’s traded. Dadonov could fetch a nice return at the deadline.

Don't think Montreal has - or should - have any intention of trading Josh Anderson.

 

[llamateizer]

Does this means Drouin out?

 

[Sterling Archer]

Who is moving out to make cap room?
