Dadonov had 5 straight years of 20 goal pace before this.

Weird career. Brief stints in FLA in his early 20s, and then returned to the Panthers at age 28. Only made it to the COVID play-in round. Then cashed in to a bad OTT team. But then it must have seemed like he hit the jackpot taking his big salary years to low-tax VGK...until that team struggled and tried to ship him out to a high-tax bad-team. He dodged that bullet and then got traded to an even higher-tax bad-team.

He's still never played a real playoff game...with his rollercoaster career I wonder if he'll get hurt or something before April.
