I don't understand why anyone thinks that Koskinen makes sense, even as a cap dump. The Sens very clearly do not have the space to add a goalie. They arguably shouldn't have even re-signed Forsberg.
Also given the fact that they aren't protecting Logan Brown, and that Abramov is going to Russia for two years, there's absolutely no reason to leave Dadonov exposed. He had an awful year from a production perspective, but his numbers for CF%, GF% and xGF% were all great. He drastically underperformed relative to his positive on ice impact, and he would have to be actively trying in order to not bounce back next year. He'll hit over 20 goals (which he was still on pace for, and he'll be a 40+ point guy easy next year. I really don't think there's much to worry about, especially considering the Sens are actively looking to make some splash in adding a top 6 C, and the fact that he's going to get to play with an even better version of Tim Stützle next year.
Edit: yeah that contract would be horrendous for Drake Batherson. He might do 4.75×3, but there's no chance he does it over 8.
