I would rather have Kapanen, Riikola, ERod, and Jankowski minus Hallander and the pick than Dadonov.

What's the deal with those poops that require an entire role of toilet paper to wipe and even after the bidet and a shower, you never quite feel clean, it's a mess of a day, you just feel like you need your entire nether region sand blasted and sanitized by a professional.

Arbitration eligible rfas have to have a ton of value to a team for the next two years For teams to tender them...
Goofy gms hand out stupid contracts to middling players and it drives the cost of the ones that actually produce at a ok pace...
Kahun is a solid player, but no one wants to see him get a guaranteed contract of silly value locked in... not tendering guys like that means you can still negotiate a fair contract with them and keep them. Sure you risk losing them, but if arbitration spits out some insane 4 or 5 million dollar contract, you are losing them anyhow...

Has anyone pointed out how insanely lucky Kahun was last season? Guy shot 13.8% and had an 11.4% on-ice shooting percentage. If I'm the Sabres I do not want to be in an arbitration hearing with that guy.
I'd like him back but with a realistic idea of the calibre of player he is.

Really? Erod and Jankowski are forwards that produced worse than Ruhwedel last year. Dime a dozen.
Dadonov's the 11th highest scoring RW in the NHL since returning from Russia 3 years ago.

Undrafted Euro players hold little value if they don’t break out. Teams just don’t seem to value these players that much and not having much patience with them. If he was drafted 8th overall or something, that would be total different story.

I don’t mean for this to come off as a
criticism of Dadonov because I wanted him here, but I really question if he is what a contender would want given that he just chased money and term to be in Ottawa.

When our biggest problem was 3rd line scoring for playoffs.
As for the " he disappears for stretches" ...who doesn't other than the elite players in the league? I dont see him being much different than Kapanen. Who we gave up 5 first round picks for.
Kahun had too much flash to his game. Some of those goals were disrespectful.
We want all the top grinders for tip ins.
As for Chicago trading him, they were just probably trying to sell high. Him being 24 already and had one good season, they probably figured they could get more out of Maatta than we did(which was the case). Buffalo getting rid of him? No idea why even with the other RFAs they had. Unless he wants 6 years 5 mil.
The Pens still need to add a player like Kahun for our 3rd line ironically. If we want McCann/Jankowski to succeed then having that playmaking RW who can also score is exactly what we need. Hopefully we bring him back sometime during the season . He could just wait things out. Unless Preds or Bruins offer him a deal. Maybe the Sens now too since it looks like they want to add more talent now. Panthers are only other team. The rest dont have the cap space.
Or we could have not signed Erod and Lafferty, moved out ZAR(Im sure Guerin would have taken him) giving us another 2.4 mil. Let Ruh go instead of keeping him when we signed Riikola. Dont need both. Thats 3.1 mil to go with the 2.5 we already have. Could have signed Kahun for 3.6 mil. And still Had 2 mil left for the season.
Top two lines
McCann - Jankowski - Kahun
Tanev - Blueger - Sceviour
With Poulin possibly getting a chance. But in the meantime there is Angello and others. We didnt " need " to keep Laff and sign Erod. We have plenty of similar players in WBS. Angello, Militec, Drozg, Bellerive, etc. If we had injuries they could have been the ones getting some NHL games in.
We still dont know it they only traded him due to all of the injuries and wanting Sheary + Erod. This was before covid and Guentzel likely to miss most of playoffs.

It's pretty funny that everyone loves Hallinder now. Especially because we traded Hållander.

I don't think the money or term are at all unreasonable for someone with his track record. It's a pretty great deal IMO.

Seems pretty fair for both sides if you ask me
I imagine their plan (both the Sens and Dadonov) is to trade him to a contender at some point in the first 2 seasons. As long as he doesn't get hurt or completely fall off playing in Ottawa, should be pretty easy for them move that contract.
Edit: ...pending COVID situation, too, I guess.

Even funnier how the Leafs media make him out to be some high end prospect that they stole from the Pens. Like mates, he’s maybe going to be a 4th liner if he’s lucky.

I don’t know if anyone loves him, but giving the Laughs the 15th overall pick AND him for Kap was inexcusable. If this was the price Dubas wanted, JR should have hung up his flip phone and went back to his 4:15 pm PF Chang’s dinner.
He was in our top 3-5 prospects.
Those same people that undervalue him are the same homers that would be praising him in the prospect thread happening right now.

Eh. It’s a fine deal. I just wouldn’t want us taking a three year five million dollar risk on Dadonov.
It’s pretty obvious why he went to Ottawa. Most cash and term he could get.
