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

[Vachon23]

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

Never like Dadonov simple as that

Hope we can flip for an asset the earlier possible

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

I love this trade! Even if its a big nothing burger.

 

[waffledave]

I thought Dadonov was signed for a few more years. This is a great move. He's going to be a big deadline piece.

 

[LaP]

Did we add something? Is it 1 for 1? If it's 1 for 1 wow that's a great trade. Dandonov is not a terrible players and this is his last year of contract. If we overplay him and we retain at the tdl we might be able to get a little something for him.

 

[Xss]

Good trade if they can flip dadonov next season

 

[FloJack]

Does this means Drouin out?

Was he ever really in?

 

[Deebs]

 

[Colezuki]

Also does dadanov potentially replace drouin or Anderson in another potential trade

 

[Captain Mountain]

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

They could retain 50% now and probably get a good piece. He's been a reliable 20 goal scorer over his NHL career.

I don't get this move for Vegas...

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Dadonov could have a huge bounce back year playing big minutes on our tanking roster, he could be a valuable asset at the deadline

 

[Gainesvillain]

I did not have a Weber/Dadonov trade on my bingo card. I like it though.

 

[L4br3cqu3]

People whining over this, really ? We dropped an anchor of a contract for a 'cap dump' that had 43pts last season, won't have that many points here but whatever, last year of his contract and we just have to trade him at 50% at the TDL. Could also mean Hoffman/Drouin are traded.







Unless some still think we'll compete next season, of course.

 

[Weltschmerz]

Dadonov at 50% will have more value than Droin at 50%.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

I don't get this move for Vegas...

From my understanding they shed 5mill in salary with dads and get to LTIR webs

 

[Pickles]

What a great move. The fact that we got anything back at all is amazing.

 

[Maitz]

You can flip Dadonov at the deadline at 50% for a middle pick

 

[Deebs]

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Does this means Drouin out?

He's still young, he can still explode, he will have a great season under MSL, watch out.

 

[DavePeak]

Getting rid of Weber’s contract without giving anything in return? Well, that is interesting!

Thank you for your hard work, your crazy slap shots and your mean stares to our opponents in your time here Shea!

So, is P.K. coming back next season?

 

[Redux91]

I dont get how people dont get it?
Hughes didnt want the LTIR anymore plus it restricted us in the offseason because sheas cap hit is ON the cap on the offseason
Get an expiring deal, and a LWer that can hang and play for 1 year, as a stop gap while we rebuild, cant be worse than Hoffman or drouin ffs lol
And if he is as bad? ALSO great!

Good work HuGo

 

[Angler]

I have nothing but respect for Weber.

I like this deal though. He’s a useful player that can be traded down the road if needed. If not it’s only 1 year. At the trade deadline he won’t cost much in cap space and is low risk for the buyer.

How many teams are on his no movement list?

 

[Golden_Jet]

I don't get this move for Vegas...

Doesn’t it give them a lot of LTIR flexibility.

 

[Ezpz]

Who is moving out to make cap room?

Dumping Weber for him opens us up to 1.9 mil cap space. We're not negative anymore. That being said I'd guess Petry is still on the move, and probably Drouin as well.

 

[BLONG7]

Does this means Drouin out?

My god, we can sure hope so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HF would crash the servers then..............lol
