sbhatt Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Solid move. Hope this means we are about to shed an overpriced/underachieving winger...or even a completely useless winger (Drouin), and Dadonov is the replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Dadonov obviously doesn't fit into the Habs long term but he can be flipped at the next deadline as he will be useful for a contending team. He has scored 28 goals a couple times, 25 once. A very good trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe only one year left on Dadonov contract Dadanov will play and eat up cap space ... Weber will LTIR and if the GKs manage their cap well free up Dadanov's $5M cap hit for another player ... although they are resigning themselves to being in LTIR ... OR ... they think they can move Weber with another contract to clear more space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 Dadonov could be a great fit with Suzuki caufield. Or he could be Wrights wingman Hes great defensively and could insult the youngsters. I dont understand this trade but its a huge win for Hugo.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 OMG, I thought we'd have to give up assets to shed #6's contract. This rocks. Thanks you, Shea Weber, for distinguished and powerful service to the CH. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems shortsighted to now need to manipulate the LTIR rules for four years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Drouin and Dadonov top 6 ice time, give them a ton of PP time. Then deal them at the deadline with 50% retained salary. You could get a return as good or better than the Lehkonen deal at that point. Trade hoffman now... but the guys with just one year on their deals... pump em up first and then dump em.

I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan89 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Dadonov Drouin Byron Should all be traded at the deadline as they all have 1 year left Petry Gallagher Price Hopefully sooner rather than later. Man i was hoping for this rebuild 4 years instead of that retool so we could of gotten more for Weber and Price. But man if we finish last again and get the first pick and get Bedard along with Wright I would be one happy habs fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzer Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Cool. Definitely not unexpected that Weber was moved, but pleased at the outcome for the Habs. Definitely seems like a trade asset at the deadline next season. Next up, Petry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that some feel that 2023 propsects Matvei Michkov and Adam Fantilli are as good or better than Wright ... so first overall (Bedard) would be ideal but top 3 might still yield an exceptional talent ... and the 2023 draft is supposedly deeper than years' so anywhere in the lottery may be better than the same spot this season.

Meller93 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Well, at least Vegas will have some cap space mid season to make a trade deadline deal for a solid vet like say.. Dadonov 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Wow, that's so unbelievably weird. I was looking at trades and singings and I saw an old post about Dadonov about the GK failed attempted to trade him to the Ducks. Apparently, when the Sens traded him the Vegas they forgot to submit his no trade list to the NHL. When Vegas traded him to the Ducks the NHL approved it because they didn't know that the Ducks were on his no trade list. Once it was realized they had to undo the trade. Then 15 mins later I see a post saying Dadonov was traded to the Habs. I dont get why Vegas would make this trade, unless Weber's health has greatly improved and he might be able to play for them. Either way, Vegas just saved $500k. Weber is owed $6 mil and Dadonov is owed $6.5 mil, but has a $5 mil cap hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Dadonov trade was for Ryan Kesler to give you a sense of what Vegas' intentions are. That said, I am surprised they did this move as they're locking themselves into four years of LTIR unless they think Arizona is going to take the contract off their hands a year or two from now. Weber's health hasn't improved, that much is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas is not a "real dollars" team ... so actual salaries are likely moot ... it is about clearing cap space by moviong out an "active" contract for a LTIR contract ... but because of the term remaining on Weber I suspect/expect the GKs will move him to another team (my bet would be Arizona) and add another contract(s)/prospect(s)/pick(s) to sweeten the deal ... ultimately freeing up more cap space.

Dadonov makes $6.5 this season, while Weber's contract is fully insured, so they don't have to pay any of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
