There is still no official decision on the trade between the Anaheim Duck and Vegas Golden Knights, though some sources have indicated to Jesse Granger of The Athletic that they believe it will be voided. Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet tweeted a bit of an explanation, noting that not only did the Golden Knights not receive Evgenii Dadonov’s no-trade list, but they and the NHL were also “led to believe” that the list had not been filed properly and thus expired.
That is not the case, however, as evidence has emerged to show that Dadonov properly filed his no-trade list, which includes the Ducks, on June 30, the day before the clause would have expired had it not been given to the Senators. Important to note in this situation, and something that is often misunderstood is that though Dadonov could still technically be traded after the “deadline” should this deal be voided, he no longer would be eligible to play at all in 2021-22, regular season or playoffs.
- When Jake DeBrusk inked a two-year extension yesterday, some believed it would lead to a fresh start somewhere else later in the day, given that his agent immediately told members of the media that a trade request was still valid. In fact, agent Rick Valette told Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic that he was “hoping Jake would have a change of scenery” at the deadline. He also wanted to be clear that DeBrusk still loves the city of Boston and will be completely focused on the Bruins’ Stanley Cup run for the rest of this season.
- When Tyler Motte was moved at the deadline for a 2023 fourth-round pick, some wondered why the Vancouver Canucks would bother, given how well he has fit into the team’s bottom-six. Motte is a pending free agent and according to Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK TV, he didn’t want to leave the organization at all but was asking for a contract with an average salary over $2MM. The 27-year-old has seven goals and 15 points in 49 games this season.
So this Anaheim/Vegas issue is really Ottawas fault then? Both VGK and the league believed the list had been voided because there wasn’t one, but Ottawa basically didn’t file it properly?
Ottawa was too busy courting Pierre McGuire to worry about contractual clauses.
i would like to thank the sens org for taking mcgire off the USA airwaves… . postseason wont be the same without you mcguire!
to bad theyll fill those shoes with some chick that talks to muchh about things she doesnt know about
to clarify im not anti woman and i consider myself an ally
i am saying that my science and herself declared female wife who doesnt watch or like hockey as much as me isnt going to tune in to a game because there is a all female broadcast team. just as I will not watch a real housewives of the NHL if it excisted
“to clarify im not anti woman” as you go on to prove that you are, in fact, anti-woman.
Get this crap off of the comments section.
calm down rollie
Too many people are offended by someone’s comments views these days. That’s where you fall.
Watched the Kings vs Predators on ESPN+ last night. There was a woman Broadcaster who was really bad, out of sync, dead air. etc… Even Ray Ferraro couldn’t save her! Yikes…
Does DeBrusk owe people in Boston a lot of money or something? Has he been avoiding a process server over a paternity suit?
It’s pretty clear no one else wants you, Bud. The Bruins just extended you.
Maybe love the one you’re with…
its been awkward with 74 in boston since his first goal. apple doesnt fall far from the crybaby tree
Guarantee Vancouver re-signs Motte
Vegas knew all along and tried to jam the trade through at the last minute to a brand new Ducks GM. Very shifty, but that’s how they conduct their business
Weird way to say “I didn’t read the article.”
