What are your thoughts on the Amadio signing
0:03
Um, you know, he's, uh, can score 30 points a year, right
0:09
Looking at his history, nothing flashy, won a cup there with Vegas
0:13
Uh, if I've got this right, I think he scored, uh, 10 points in 16 games
0:19
That's not too bad for a journeyman and a left winger. Uh, so I think, you know, he's a solid bottom six guy and, um
0:27
that's what's required here. Um, you know, solidify that bottom six and try to get their scoring up by
0:36
If I recall the stat correctly, I did, I calculated it. I think the bottom six only scored about 5% of the
0:43
Senator's points last season. So you got to have more than that, uh, to win in this week
0:50
That doesn't surprise me at all. And I will add Nick Jensen won the Stanley cup in 2018 as well
0:55
So they added three Stanley cup champions yesterday. Um, Dayton, what are your thoughts on a Mario
1:03
Um, yeah, I like him. I think, you know, I was mentioning that
1:07
Catholic, uh, Kelly, those guys, you know, are sad to see leave, but you
1:13
can find better replacements for them. I think that's a Mario. He is a better replacement than both of those guys
1:18
And he's essentially taking over for them in the third or fourth line. So no complaints contracts, maybe a little bit higher than I would have
1:27
liked, but I think it's worth with, um, what he brings to the team
1:31
He had in case anyone forgot 10 points in 16 playoff games in 2023
1:37
Um, which is wild for a bottom six forward. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, I remember him playing a lot more than just five games with Ottawa
1:47
but I, I guess I'm wrong. He was only has five games with Ottawa, um, that year that he was
1:53
um, claimed off waivers, but. I don't know. I remember like a 25 game stint or something
1:58
I remember being really impressed by him, but I don't know. Um, but yeah, he's a really good defensive bottom six winger
2:04
Um, he's great in his own end and obviously he can chip in the 25, 30 points
2:09
Uh, again, like you said, Dayton 2.6 is a bit high for my taste
2:13
Um, I would have been happier around like 1.7, 1.8, but you know what
2:18
I have nothing to complain about that deal
