This past Saturday, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman brought to light the impending NHL measures directed at the Ottawa Senators regarding their management of the trade involving forward Evgeny Dadonov to the Vegas Golden Knights. The trade from the previous season had been marred by controversy, with the Golden Knights' attempt to send Dadonov to the Anaheim Ducks, and it appears that the Senators may have a share of responsibility in this confusion.
Friedman stated on Hockey Night in Canada,
Dadonov had a list of teams he would not accept a trade to, a condition negotiated in his contract. It seems the Ottawa Senators may not have been entirely forthright regarding whether Dadonov had indeed submitted such a list.
The NHL's investigation into absolving Vegas from any culpability in this unfortunate situation is likely to shed more light on the sequence of events.
Stay tuned for further updates as this evolving story unfolds.
