Don't love this for Ottawa tbh. Don't get the 3 years.

I liked him the short time we had him. He played well in Vegas. Let's see what the dollar amount is because I have a weird feeling we had to overpay in term and money to make this happen. Solid player though!

2.6 is too much. As I thought we had to overpay. Not a fan of the contract, including term.

Terrible signing. Otawa basically has no money for Pinto at this point. Backing themselves into a corner.

They have lots of money ($4.5 million) to sign Pinto to bridge deal, or move Joesph and sign him longterm.

Mi Amadio! He's a good "intense situation" scorer who we will miss. Excellent pickup at a good price.

They have a smidge over 4.200 to sign Pinto but this isn't EA Sports - so they aren't going to run a 20-man roster. Realistically they could maybe do 21, which brings them to ~3.400 left to sing Pinto if they keep Joseph. If that's not enough, they have to trade Joseph which makes the Amadio signing even.

I don't hate Amadio. I hate the position it puts Ottawa in, and I'm not a huge fan of the dollars/term either.

Amadio is a comparable player to Joseph, but makes 400k less, so it really feels like he’s just Joseph’s ideal replacement to make room for Pinto. Every dollar counts here.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



I will miss saying his name when he scores

Makes 400k less. Every dollar matters at this point.

1. It's 350k, not 400k
2. Saving 350k may not be worth the pick we have to attach to Joseph. We'll have to wait and see.

 

[KevinRedkey]

350k saved from Joseph to Amadio cost us a 3rd round pick.

Nah Amadio at 2.6M is solid and should have happened regardless of what we did with Joseph.

Perron at 4M is the headscratching deal.

I get why they did it. We have a very inexperienced bottom six, but I think we paid him 1 mil more than we should have.

It's literally what happened. Joseph was replaced by Amadio, which in turn saved us 350k but cost us a 3rd round pick.

Whether or not that's a good deal is the debatable part.

We signed two top 9 forwards yesterday. One made sense (Amadio), the other did not (Perron).

The right move would have been to keep Joseph and sign Amadio. Joseph is left-handed and could shift over to LW to make room for Amadio.

I think we badly needed someone like Perron. He's overpaid and on the decline, but Giroux can't be the only mature, experienced guy in the room (that can still play). The new regime probably walked in on the first day and realized how immature the dressing room was.

You can sign mature experienced players for dirt cheap to fill out the roster.

There's lots of them still available. Perron wasn't the only option.

How many of them (that can still contribute) are lining up to sign in Ottawa? I'm sure they would have loved someone like Corey Perry but he decided to stick with the team that was a win away from winning the Stanley Cup.

There's going to be plenty looking for jobs. Many will be on PTOs, some may get two-way contracts, but most would jump at the chance to sign in a place with the terrible depth we have down our lineup.

Gregor is more of a replacement for Joseph than Amadio, and that's a $2M saving

 

[ZYXWVUT]

if he gets an opportunity to play with some of their talent, I bet this ends up as a fantastic signing.

Joseph got 35pts and averaged 16:28 per game.

One of these is Amadio and the other if Gregor:
12pts and 11:23
27pts and 13:23

It's pretty east to see who the Joseph replacement is, of the two.
Pretending it's Gregor (and Perron frm another poster) is strange to say the least.

Comparing play style, Gregor is much more like Joseph.

 

[Wondercarrot]

Joseph had a nice 6 month stretch in Ottawa, outside of that he was fast and ineffective.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

I don't mind this deal. Amadio can likely sub for Joseph and be a fantastic utility guy but 2.6M is a lot for a bottom 6 dude, basically a replacement player.
The 3-year deal is also a little ?. These types of players are like service employees (to use a tenuous analogy) you know they won't be around long so just sign Amadia to...one year at 2.6 or 2.0?
Then replace with another dude next year. Paying for anything other than elite talent is a fool's game GMs should never engage in.
