Evgeni Dadonov hasn’t really been on anyone’s radar going into last weekend, but as a replacement for Denis Gurianov, he has potential. His numbers are off a bit this year with a mediocre Montreal Canadians club, but he’s shown himself to be a regular 20 goal scorer over his career.
Dallas is his fifth team over the last four years, which does throw up a few red flags. However, its been a while since he’s been with a playoff contender, playing with middle six talent, so there is potential upside to his game. Certainly, the Dallas Stars had given Gurianov an opportunity to find a slot - one that he never quite took advantage of.
