    Auto fire GM for this? Yikes.

    In retrospect it becomes even more insane by the day the Blackhawks didn’t lose at least their first round pick for their disgusting organizational conduct.

    Apparently protecting a sexual predator rewards you with a generational talent and misunderstanding a clause will cost you a first round pick.

  3. This is absurd….. I’m on board with the punishment, but the fact it came this many years late AND the fact the league has punished other teams far less for worse things (looking at you Hawks).

    So what was the new info that came to light to make them go back 2 years?

    Dafuq? … but Chicago gets Bedard for their “blunder”?

    I completely agree with this decision. It restricts what Vegas was able to do with the player. It’s possible they wouldn’t have taken on his contract in the first place, if they had known about his no trade clause. All the Sens had to do was be honest. If they aren’t punished other teams will cheat too.

  7. I don’t know, I can see why they are blaming the Sens here, but why not just call the player’s agent and ask about the list?

    “They said x about your M-NTC”

    “What? No its actually y”

    “oh”

    Somehow, Florida gets punished for the sexual assault more than Chicago did.

    Florida sleeper agent Dadonov doing his part to cripple a division rival.

    If this is the punishment for a trade blunder than the Blackhawks should’ve been prevented from picking the first round for five years

  11. Am I dumb why would this even be on Ottawa shouldn’t Vegas have to ask for his no trade list?

  12. Dis-Ducks-Fan-1130

    Can’t wait until the 4 players for the Team Canada issue get revealed. Wonder what they will get and from what I hear, there is atleast 1 current NHL player in that group.

  13. Sens lose a first for not disclosing the no trade eams list on a trade, and Chicago gets to keep their first for the sexual abuse scandal..

    But yet we suspened someone for betting with the countless betting ads/apps

    That’s fuckin so dumb. You’re telling me a multimillion dollar professional organization with tons of lawyers, I’m guessing, doesn’t review a players contract in the span of ~8 months??? If anything, Vegas should be punished for not knowing the terms of the players on their roster. Even if Ottawa straight up lied, absolving Vegas is asinine to me.

    Fuck the Sens, but this is ridiculous

    Man with this and the excessive Pinto suspension I’d say Garry has it in for the new owners in Ottawa. Guess he wanted Ryan Reynolds to get the team.

    They should have just made it so that the sen’s pick drops down to 32 instead because this is just salt in the wound for Sen’s fans already.

  17. WaffleStone

    so does vegas get the pick or is 1 less player getting drafted in the first round

  18. I don’t understand the inconsistency of punishment in the league. How is it Vegas and Ottawa got punished completely different for the same situation.

  19. okokokoyeahright

    I imagine the new owner to be shaking his head and wondering ‘WTF have I just got into?’

  20. Every-Citron1998

    TIL messing up a trade is embarrassing to the NHL but covering up a sexual assault is no biggie.

  21. And Chicago didn’t lose theirs after covering up a sex-abuse scandal, and was rewarded with Bedard.

    Make it make sense.

  22. silentmatt1

    Sens could have sexually assaulted Dadanov and gotten less punishment

  23. uhm_i_dont_know

    Sorry this might be a dumb question, but is the onus not on the Knights to have read the contract before trading for him?
