This season, Evgenii Dadonov was seen as dead wood in Montreal. There was no passion in his game and his future in the NHL really seemed to be coming to an end. The trade between the Montreal Canadiens and the Dallas Stars, which took place on February 26, involved forward Evgenii Dadonov. While this deal looked promising at the time, it's clear that Stars general manager Jim Nill was better off in the long run.
