TSN: Senators lose 1st round pick in '24, '25 or '26 as penalty for Dadonov fiasco

[Mingus Dew]

Probably the end of Dorion's NHL career, not just his time as Ottawa's GM.

 

[mogambomoroo]

As fan of another team, this was a bullsh*t move by NHL. In no way or form should Ottawa get this kind of a punishment, when Chicago got just fined. I mean okay take a 3rd round pick maybe, but a 1st... NHL su*ks

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Ouch. Let’s see someone fired for this!

Dorion is going to can Andlauer's ass. PD is on top of the pyramid, so I've heard.

 

[Senscore]

False equivalence. The Blackhawks didn't do anything that impacted competitive balance.

So when does Vegas and Tampa get dinged for circumventing the cap through LTIR manipulation?

 

[SixthSens]

Bull shit from the NHL, as usual.

Oh, and f*** all the Vegas and Anaheim fans whining about not getting a pick from the Sens over this…

 

[Byron Bitz]

No 1st round pick in 2022.
No 1st round pick in 2023.
No 1st round pick in 2024, 2025 or 2026.

Contender? No. Playoffs? No. But a satisfactory .500 record this October!

Hey man they met their goal last season of playing meaningful games in March, don’t believe me just ask Dorion hel tell you.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Dorion is going to can Andlauer's ass.

LOL. I don't think this could actually happen.

I know we all dislike Dorion but let's try to be realistic. He's MUCH more likely to hire Paul BIssonnette as Director of Scouting then fire his ass in 4 months.

 

[Byron Bitz]

False equivalence. The Blackhawks didn't do anything that impacted competitive balance.

Not true, sweeping the accusation under the rug helped them competitively because they didn’t have to deal with the distraction.

 

[Masked]

I'm dying to know if this + Pinto were disclosed during the process. If not, they did him incredibly dirty. I generally don't feel bad for billionaires, but cmon lmao.

That it took until after ownership was settled to rule on this is a black mark on the league. What has changed in two years to finally rule on this? It's not like new information is going to be available.

And the other issue is why the league was run in such a Mickey Mouse matter that this situation even arose? You have to take the word of another GM if there's an active NTC? That's insane.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Dorion should have just covered for a rapist instead.

League seems much more ok with that

The rapist was affiliated with one of the NHL's golden children franchises, so I'm surprised they didn't throw him a goddamn party on the way out.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Not true, sweeping the accusation under the rug helped then competitively because they didn’t have to deal with the distraction.

Or the suspensions of coaches, GMs, AGMs, possibly players who knew,... etc.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Man we should have protected a rapist instead, and could have been gifted a franchise player.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Get rid of Dorion and his broski DJ and the entire coaching staff except Bob Jones.

Get rid of the last of the Melnyk regime.

 

[DJB]

I’m fine with a punishment but for the punishment to be so harsh and Chicago get nothing is what makes me mad

No accountability with the NHL

 

[BondraTime]

For a rebuilding team far out of the playoffs, our upcoming prospects is going to be extremely problematic.

2020 was unbelievable. Team is already reaping the benefits, they are our best players already. Not really going to be any saving grace's coming from that group, they're already there
2021 - Boucher
2022 - 7th traded away and Kubalik + late future 1st to show for it
2023 - 12th - Chychrun
2024/25/26 - Lost to incompetence

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

This f***ing guy. Whatever year we give it up, it'll be a down year too. We're still in the rebuilding phase anyway with our record.

The week is still early.

 

[BondraTime]

They don't, it's allowed...

 

[IpsoPostFacto]

I guess I'll toss my comments on the bonfire here.

NHL should absolutely want to inflict a punishment that ensures this type of situation doesn't happen again. Perhaps this punishment is exactly the correct one for the nature of the crime, however, to see the Hawks get wrist slapped for a systemic cover up of sexual assault is the final kick in the pills.

What was it, a $2M fine? I hope the Hawks can recover from that. Oh wait, they did. Bedard ensures they will cover that fine multiple times over.

I mean, if all the stuff alleged about Formenton is true and we re-sign him, it could come true.

Sounds like Vegas pushed for this and made sure the league drew blood.

Slightly different dynamics at play although obviously the discrepancy in outcomes is despicable.

Garbage f***ing league, literally no one even cares about this incident anymore

Well there was Randy Lee…
