“Rider” without competition according to Danny Dube

I’ll be honest with you: when the Canadian took over Evgeny Dadonov from the Golden Knights (in exchange for Shea Weber’s contract), I had some expectations for the Russian striker. Without seeing him as a contender for the Hart Cup, I loved the idea of ​​adding his offensive capabilities to the group to support younger players.

However, after four games in CH uniforms (two during the preparatory calendar and two in the regular season), I must admit I haven’t seen anything of it yet. I don’t remember a single menacing shot from him or any sequence in which he popped for the right reasons.

and last night, Danny Dube was there with a comment that perfectly sums up what I’ve seen of Dadonov in some games : He plays like a rider who doesn’t have a particularly strong sense of competition.

Our colleagues at HabsolumentFan also reported the news.

Canadians Hockey | Analyst Danny Doby criticizes Evgeny Dadonov, who, according to him, cannot remain in the squad if he continues to play in this way.

Sooner or later, I expect Dadonov to put in some offensive performance. However, so far, he’s a black hole in the attacking area and the fact that he’s not a very good defensive player means he doesn’t bring much to the formation.

Dube also notes that if it continues like this, he doesn’t see how Dadonov will be able to earn a spot in the lineup in every game. I admit I was surprised to see that It’s Rem Petlake who’s going to make way for Jonathan Drouin this evening : Guys like Dadonov and Mike Hoffman probably deserve to step aside before Pitlick, if you ask me.

Martin St. Louis recently spoke about the desire to establish a merit system for positions available in crimesAnd the fact that guys like Dadonov and Hoffmann are still in the lineup is surprising. They can recover and should be put in the window a bit to get other teams interested by the transaction deadline, of course, but how patient should CH have with them?

In short, it will be necessary to see if Dadonov will be able to pull himself together in the upcoming matches, but so far, let’s say he is not convincing. Let’s hope that the past does not guarantee the future.
