Nice job Vegas.

Nice job Vegas.

Looks like a cap clearing trade to be honest

ETA: wow I thought Dadonov was on Vegas.

 

[banks]

I'm sure Dadonov's buddy, Shipachyov, told him about how great it is in Vegas.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Maybe Vegas will trade for another Russian so he doesn't feel lonely? Dadonov was pretty good the year before last,hope he finds his scoring touch again

Vegas has three Russians parked with the Silver Knights.

I have no idea wtf is going on but this is the best off-season I can remember

Looks like a cap clearing trade to be honest

For Vegas? Dadonov is a $5M hit

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

dadonov is still a top 6 forward. he just struggled on ottawa. he'll easily put up 50 points in vegas

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

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Not half bad for Ottawa

 

[PromisedLand]

I don't get this for VGK. ummm what?

Yeah I thought Dadonov was on Vegas, man what a crappy trade

 

[ItWasJustified]

Flip Dadanov to Buffalo

Dadanov acquisition makes no sense

Why would Buffalo want Dadanov?

 

[OmniSens]

I had no idea Holden was 34 years old. Yikes. At least he only makes $1.4m this season then he's a UFA.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Why would Buffalo want Dadanov?

Who knows.. why would VGK?lol

 

[daethfromabove1979]

How does this make any sense for Vegas? Why give up assets for Dadonov’s contract? Baffling but good for Ottawa.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

VGK is up to something fishy

 

[HanSolo]

This has not been a good week to be a Vegas fan.

Jesus christ.

 

[ItWasJustified]

Who knows.. why would VGK?lol

True.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Not half bad for Ottawa

Another spot for the Senators to move in a youngster and give lots of playing time...Pinto,L Brown, A Formenton

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Vegas got hosed. Dadonov is a buyout candidate.

I think it opens up the possibility of getting another top-9 winger.

 

[CamPopplestone]

Looks like they're Holden out for a hero

 

[sxvnert]

Smart move by both teams.

he looked good when he was centered by Barkov, that’s it. Wasn’t great away from him, and Vegas doesn’t have an elite center. Not really sure why they did this.

 

[MrInvidious]

Love this as a Sens fan. With that being said, I think Dadanov could have a big season in Vegas.

He's not someone who is going to drive play by himself. He's the type of guy who will struggle on a bad team and thrive on a good team. If he gets insulated with high skill players on his line in Vegas, he'll contribute effectively (ala Florida). He got surpassed by Connor Brown easily in Ottawa, though.

Holden is probably not much more than a depth piece but getting an extra third is awesome.

Jesus christ.

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).
