The Ottawa Senators have made their first major splash of the free agency period, signing Russian forward Evgenii Dadonov to a three-year deal, worth an AAV of $5M.
The 31 year-old right-winger has scored 81 goals over the past three seasons, to go with a total of 182 points in 225 games with the Florida Panthers. Dadonov will earn $3.5M in year one, $5M in year two, and $6.5M in year three. He will also have a 10-team no-trade clause.
In a press release issued by the team, Pierre Dorion spoke about the newest member of the Ottawa Senators:
“We’re thrilled to have come to an agreement with Evgenii.
