How is it suspect? He recently had surgery that will keep him out for the better part of the season. (Assuming you are referring to Murray).

He really shouldn't have dressed in the PO if he needed the type of surgery that likely has him missing the season.

There was talk of a buyout, but that doesn't do the team any favors for next season to carry 2m of dead space, so it looks like they just shuffled another off to Robidas Island.

sounds like Vegas screwed the pooch on doing their due diligence unless the Sen's lied about the NTC. Classic case of buyer beware.........
They did lie.. may have started as an oversight, but then when it came to a head they lied and said Dadonov didn't submit his no trade list, when in fact he did and he/his agent had proof they submitted it.

I can't help but laugh when I see the Eastern Conference standings and how the incompetence of that clueless GM :dunce:of theirs is finally be exposed for the fraud that he is.

View attachment 761157

Last in the East with Crosby. Malkin, Letang and Karlsson..

Leaf Nation is finally starting to see what others knew for years.
By taking a non playoff team and having them sit out of the playoffs 9 games into the season?

It might end up being a terrible season for Pit and you could end up being correct but it feels a little premature to gloat. Also who cares? He is gone from Toronto. Why continue to celebrate/hope for his demise?

While I appreciate the endless entertainment this is giving me, I don't blame the Sens new owner for being a wee bit chippy about this. Glad he's taken a few shots at the league today

How does the NHL not have a central database will all of the info of every players NTC, limited NTC etc?

Because the NHL is always hilariously 2-3 generations behind every other major sports league in the world when it comes to stuff like that. Beyond embarrassing

Good to know, however I still think Vegas or any other team should do their due diligence and not take one’s word for it. That’s why you have lawyers on retainer…….

If they actually hire Chia, Christmas has come early for Leafs fans. What a disaster
My Christmas list has a new PM at the top………

The due diligence for VGK was supposed to be asking, on the trade call, Ottawa if there was any NTC’s attached to the contract, which they did. The got fraudulent information in a reply, as part of a formal process. That’s not on them.

Feel a bit bad for the poor bastard that bought them, but not very.

Always get it in writing, I’m surprised this type of language isn’t in the trade paperwork…….

I’m sure it is now, and they register these things centrally I think now too. But it shouldn’t have been necessary, even if it is otherwise logical.

“Does the player I’m acquiring have a NTC?”

Like, you’re asking a fellow pro GM, the players GM, as part of a formal process in which they are compelled to truthfully answer, and they get the answer wrong? I say again, this is not VGK’s fault. It’s indefensible, there is no excuse for Ottawa/Dorian.

Agree with almost everything posted above. Good on Andlauer for firing shots at the league and their dinosaur ways and shrouds of concealment. And why the hell did it take this long to resolve the Dadonov situation? Dude was (almost) traded early 2022.

He'll likely get fined because Gerry is soft, but I'm sure he doesn't care.

Dorion committed so many fireable offences over the years that this change was long overdue. Zibanejad/Brassard trade, Duchene trade, the goaltending fiasco with Murray and then Gustavsson for Talbot, not extending Paul, did us a favour by taking on Zaitsev, etc lol
