Confirmed Trade: [OTT/VGK] Evgenii Dadonov for Nick Holden and 2022 3rd round pick

[CupInSIX]

Is he being flipped to Buffalo?

We know he can score. Does he at least have a strong possession game? This guy is getting 5m instead of re-signing Janmark or going with Krebs/Dugan. He doesn't strike me as the type of winger they look for.

 

[Shane Diesel]

Ok

 

[razor ray]

This.

Dadonov struggled this year for ottawa. But the whole team was a dumpster fire to start the year and there wasn't much time in a shortened season for him to figure things out afterwards.

He never looked terrible. He showed flashes of what he was in Florida. He's bwtter than he played with rhe senators.

I wouldnt be surprised at all if he returned to form with Vegas. He's not a bad player, just wasn't a good fit with the senators.

These trades just go to show you that general managers don't judge a player based on one season to the extent that people do here

How dare you put a logical post on HF?

 

[missionAvs]

I don't get this trade at all honestly.

 

[DuklaNation]

Ottawa can replace him with their young guys. Smart move to dump Dadonov.

 

[jetsforever]

Huh, seems a bit random

 

[armani]

Good trade for the Sens. I am surprised that Dorion got the return he got back without any retention, won't be surprised to see Daddy succeed in Vegas PP1 or PP2.

Ottawa Pierres for the Win!

 

[Brazen331]

Unless this is all a precursor to an Eichel trade and Dadonov is a replacement for a winger they're trading (my guess is Tuch).

Dadonov plays RW mostly, right? VGK already has Stone, Tuch, Smith there. A W has to be moving you’d think.

Would make more sense to trade Smith, cap wise but yeah. Could be.

 

[Liver King]

How was Holden for you guy?

 

[Golden_Jet]

Good move for Ottawa, Holden and Vancouver’s third round pick.
Surprisingly no retention

 

[Kcoyote3]

Hey look another trade Seattle could have made by selecting the BPA in expansion.

So far had they taken Dadonov, Dillon and Zadorov they could have flipped for:

Nick Holden
2022 2nd
2023 2nd
2022 3rd
2023 3rd

instead they got:

Joey Daccord
John Quenneville (no longer on team, UFA)
Vitek Vanacek

 

[Puikiou]

Stone, R. Smith, Tuch, Dadonov on Vegas' right side. Something has to give. They might not be out of the Eichel sweepstakes (Tuch++).

Big win for Dorion here regardless.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

This is amazing!!!

 

[NYR94]

I guess another winger is on the way out? Otherwise how many wingers does Vegas really need--Stone, Pacioretty, Reilly, Marchessault, Tuch and Dadonov?

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Ottawa can replace him with their young guys. Smart move to dump Dadonov.

It would be hard to play him ahead of batherson and brown as it is. Both guys had great seasons.

 

[yogibear]

Wow, i didn’t think Ottawa could ever dump Dadonov’s contract and certainly not for that kind of return.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Imagine what MAF must be thinking when they used his cap space to return Dadonov?

 

[Karl Eriksson]

How much cap space does Ottawa have now?

 

[Chevx]

If Tuch is part of the Eichel trade (alongside prospects and picks) and Danault is also signed, where does this leave Patrick? And what are the top3 lines with such moves? Pacioretty, Eichel, Stone - Reilly, Karlsson, Marchessault - Dadonov, Danault, Patrick?

 

[Canadian Game]

So Vegas moved their Vezina Trophy winner to clear space for Dadonov with no retention? Lol

 

[Pandaman11]

I get it that Vegas got rid of Fleury's salary

But why replace it with Brossoit + Dadonov?

I disagree with this, he's a vet. We had multiple rookies figured it out after the start. He looked terrible on our PP, worse than when we had Legwand and Gomez playing the half boards. If he was in his 20's I'd say bounce back season could be possible, but he's was product of his linemates in FLA. He could out up higher numbers in Vegas, but that doesn't mean much if his game stays the same as last year

 

[Bevans]

Dad was a free agent last year, and now Vegas pays full price for him, even after a bad season.

From this, can we infer that Vegas wanted Dad last year, but he chose Ottawa instead?

Mind blowing that perhaps two players (Phaneuf and Dad) chose Ottawa over Vegas.

(Said as a life time resident of Ottawa).

Something isn't adding up.. VGK is gonna do something big I feel... very very strange acquisition
