Amadio @ $2.6 million to be the 10th forward who can slot up to the 3rd line in case of injury is totally fine, if a little underwhelming because of how vanilla he is.
That being said, on a Senators team that literally has to go 11/7 for long stretches because they have no cap space the money would have been better served elsewhere. This team as a whole has terrible depth but you can't convince me that Highmore/Reinhard/Jenik/MacEwan are THAT much worse than what Amadio has done this season and they would all be able to do it for the league minimum.
I would hope a re-vamped bottom-six is a priority for Staois in the off-season and part of that may be punting on this Amadio experiment.
Perron obviously fits in the same category but I can at least understand that one a little more from Staois' POV because DP has shown more offensive ability than Amadio ever has and is theoretically a guy that can slide higher in the lineup if needed.
Not to completely bag on Amadio who has had some good stretches, but even at his best I think he was the F9 on this team and, personally, knowing how close to the cap this team is/was I'd have filled out the bottom of the lineup for cheaper.
