League to Harshly Punish Canadian Team for Illegal Trade
The NHL is set to punish this Canadian team for an illegal trade which occurred last season, as confirmed by an NHL insider.
Elliotte Friedman Reveals the Senators Will be Punished for Illegal Trade
Last night, Elliotte Friedman revealed that the NHL was taking action against the Ottawa Senators for a trade which occurred last year, where the Sens traded Evgeny Dadonov to the Vegas Golden Knights. If you recall, the Knights tried to move him to the Anaheim Ducks, a move which did not go through and was a particularly messy situation.
Now, it appears that the Senators were at fault for this, and will be punished for it.
Severity of Punishment Not Yet Known for Illegal Move
Obviously, this is a big deal for the NHL. The League needs to protect its players by honouring contracts, and GMs need to have certainty that they know everything that is in a player's contract prior to acquiring them. While we don't know exactly what the punishment will be for the Senators, Friedman thinks we can expect an announcement soon.
I think we're going to get a clear explanation of what occurred and why Vegas wasn't at fault."
This is an interesting drama for the NHL that doesn't happen very often, but when it does it has huge ripple effects!
