Confirmed with Link: Dadonov (50% retained) to Stars in exchange for Gurianov

[Whitesnake]

That's an interesting take because Anderson, RHP and Suzuki are doing well.

I just don't want RHP and Anderson broken up. I would keep them with Suzuki, but I'm fine with having them play with Dvo or Dach to see what Gurianov can do with Suzuki.

We konw what those guys can do. The project here is not to see how they could evolve. It's to see what Gurianov can do if paired with top end player.

 

[eklund the clown]

I hope he's not making us better, that's all I care.

lol

 

[morhilane]

Gurianov with the hat trick on Tuesday just to piss off the tankers

He's going to be -4 thought...so all will be well.

He should be put with Drouin too. Perfect place for him since he can't play defense.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Man, its not a huge win or a huge loss for any team.

Dadonov is better than Gurianov.

There were no 3rd pick out there for Dadonov.

Our management team would rather gamble on Gurianov than a 4th pick kower.

Safe, no-risk bet. There is a potential reward but i would not get my hopes too high

Agreed on this take. Its likely the Habs walk away from DG unless he somehow finds his game in Montreal. Either way, he won't be earning 3M next season.

Dadonov was maddeningly soft. Just painful to watch.

 

[Colezuki]

Once Curvy Duck is back from his mysterious LBI him and Gurionov could form a good line. Both have size, Duck is a great playmaker, Gurionov has a wicked shot. Both have size.

Both have size.

Does the line have enough size though

 

[yianik]

It's like what , 1 in a thousand Gurianov can turn it around in Montreal under MSL ? But we paid 0 for the lotto ticket. So great trade.

 

[The Real Timo]

Dallas Stars forum managed 2 pages worth of comments on this trade. Most are happy to see Gurianov gone. Guess they will about him same we feel about Daddy or Drouin.

I don't know Gurianov well enough.

Ylonen seems like a potential bottom sixer. Maybe Gurianov is a bottom sixer, maybe more.

It would be nice if Dach would get healthy to give us another offensive option at C. I have no confidence in Dvorak as an offensive C. Actually Dvo is another player I want to see get a shot with Suzuki to see what type of numbers he can put up offensively. But that won't happen anytime soon with all the injuries we have at C.

Both have size.

He's out indefinitely, so might be waiting a bit, or never.

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

Intrigued by the trade, especially when you consider what we traded to get Dadonov originally, Weber's contract. The Denis Gurianov of 2019-20 had massive promise, with 20 goals in 64 games of his first near-full season, as well as 9-8-17 in 27 playoff games. Hopefully the DG v1 program is still archived somewhere and his revision control can revert back to that version. In other words, can MSL hack the old password and reload that prime software?

You realize we are not making the playoff right ?

 

[le_sean]

Now, can Hugo get off its collective keister and get someone who can police the game when needed, so that a 22 year old rookie doesn't have to be it each and every game and then have surgeries? That would be great. Thank you.

A player that polices the game like Laraque? Waiting for a notary to confirm that the opposing player has given legal permission to fight? Please this isn’t 1995.

 

[calder candidate]

Wont get qualified, will go back to Russia, we lose cap space power.

Ylonen has almost the same number of points in 18 games.

Gurianov Poolparty Kravstov, all the same combat

A pick wouldve been better.

Well see!

Well see but I rather roll the dice on a Gurianov than a 4/5th round pick…

 

[Tetragrammaton]

It may come down to cap space.

We should have a lot of available cap space no? Drouin and Byron is almost 9 million

Remember how much fun Brad Staubitz was in the closing weeks of 2012?

 

[26Mats]

Yes, but it's important to see what we have in Anderson, whether to keep him or showcase him.

He's been ver mediocre for most of his time here. But he's consistently been good so far with RHP. I'm not breaking that up.

 

[The Real Timo]

OMG! Stubby was awesome. I would love us to have another one like that on a 4th line.

Byron isn't counting against the cap. Caufield needs a raise. And then, we don't know what types of moves HuGo are planning for the UFA and trade markets.

 

[Walrus26]

It's clear Hughes is a Jedi, using Jedi mind tricks for trades.

These ARE the scrubs you're looking for.

 

[Kwikwi]

How many Armias do we neeeeeeed MOWWWWWWRRRRRR

 

[Runner77]

I hope he's not making us better, that's all I care.

If he’s making us better, we’ll find out soon enough in the Schedule thread.

 

[Wats]

This gives hope maybe 50% Drouin might return something.

 

[The Real Timo]

Lol... we split Drouin and get double return

 

[Whitesnake]

ON top of everything, it makes games worth watching for the hope that we see a good Gurianov....until....maybe...it doesn't. Keeps the interest alive.

Also until proven otherwise, I have just as much hope in the new scouting group than I had in Timmins....which means.....not a whole lot. So I prefer guys like Gurianov to a mid-draft pick.

I think we shall draw all the right conclusions after methinks
2 shifts.
