Confirmed Signing with Link: [OTT] Evgenii Dadonov signs with the Senators (3 years, $5M AAV)

[Mogo]

They might not have wanted to. Dadonov is a solid scoring winger: good wheels, doesn't pass on too many shots, and tends to pinch early in transition (not quite a cherry picker). For whatever reason, during his tenure, he's been in the dog house of every coach we've had in Florida--regularly demoted to the third line. Whether it's a good call with the Panthers' scoring issues, new management might have just asked Q whether he was worth signing.

Dadonov has never been effective in Florida unless plays with Barkov

Kick him on the way out! MEOOWW

over paid. not a good signing.

Of course all this simply costed cap room, and it's 3 years. not a fan of this move.

 

[Fisticuffer]

Had him in my pool the last couple years and he did well. Slipped some when he wasn’t with Hub and Barkov though.

 

[Sens9292]

Your point being? Never said he should sign in Florida

glad we agree

From what I can tell, a large part of this is caused by a) small sample and b) a really low on-ice sh%.

I’m not suggesting he will be a 70pt guy, but I think he can put up 20+ g and 50+ pt for sure

Just out of curiosity; did he provide a reason why starting to spend in 2021 and not before?

My guess and I could be wrong but the Vegas and Seattle money will ease 35 million off the debt. Once the bills are paid after a covid season I think spending might crash to a halt.

Well, some players are a product of who they play with. Let’s see how he does without Barkov.

Calling it now -- Ottawa will win the Cup within four years...

What are the odds that Dadonov is traded before year 3?

99%

 

[Dick Whitman]

I guess Dadonov doesn't care about winning. Will be interesting what he can do without Barkov

What? Over the last 4 years, Ottawa has been a more successful franchise than Florida. They've shown an ability to build and rebuild with success.

 

[thadd]

Compared to what other players are going for, he REALLY cashed in. Very well done!

Something along the lines of being on a tight budget while we lose, and spending when we start winning. I think it was to allow our prospects to mature.

I expect him to open his wallet for Tkachuk soon, for example.

If they win the cup no problem with restarting after that.

In fact that would definitely help reviving the fanbase and fill the arena for years to come so sign me up. Don't really care if they tear it down after.

Who is this? Did the Sens hire a new Analytics guy?

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

You know its a good signing and Ottawa is trending up when rival teams fans change their narratives from "sucks to be a Sens fan with their situation" to "he's nothing special, Ottawa gonna fire sale soon"

Some people just have to be party poopers.

If i had to hazard a guess, I'd say that vastly increased TV revenues from the upcoming US TV deal. Anything that is common, equal revenue vastly helps the weaker revenue teams.

 

[Newsworthy]

It's only three years. Wish him the best.

 

[Stubu]

The old "Who's your Dadonov?" became "Whose Dadonov are you?"



I'll just go get my coat...

 

[SensFan1010]

I think this move cements that the sens wont sign Duclair, I think they will leave that 2nd line RW spot open for batherson and see if the kid can finally make some noise in the nhl

I liked Bath,s game in his second callup,his game looked far more polished...Think he will do well

It's called lying.

 

[NinjaKick]

seems like a fair deal to me for a 25-30 goal scorer... good for the Sens
