If Dadonov is traded he can't play at all. Which makes this extra shitty for him but it is what it is.
What the heck this is so wrong

Dadonov can be traded still, but he is only eligible to play the remainder of the regular season.

Trade deadline day is for playoff eligibility

The rule makes a metric ton of sense. Imagine with a week and 3 games left in the regular season:

- Team A is fighting for a playoff spot still or increasing their seeding.
- Team B didn’t sell at the deadline because they were fighting for a playoff spot but have since been elimated.

Whats stopping Team B from trading their desirable players now to Team A for that final playoff push even though the players can’t participate in the post season?

it’s not just that….

team A is safely in winning division and top seed in Colorado.

they know they will play the worse wild card team. They have an incentive on manipulating who that could be where 2 of 3 thry are fine facing but one team they just don’t want to face due to them finishing very strong since Jan 1 and they pose big matchup/ style problems to them.

be ause of depth they could trade say a very good backup goalie to a non playoff team that finishes in a home+off- home series against that team. Thus goalie has pkayed great against this playoff wanna be team in the past. They trade this back up goalie to that team to beat them. Colorado has a strong 3rd goalie who can easily be playoff.backup.

There's like a month left in the regular season. Poor guy would have to take an extended vacation, I'm sure he's devastated.

With Smith now on LTIR and Pac having a set back. Is there still a need to trade Dadanov... They're pretty much toast at this point

Take out Borgen and then they'll do it. Not trading an under 25 RD who's starting to come into his own for a guy a team is desperate to move.
Well, the reason I said him is cause his contract is cheap. Doesn't have to be Borgen, just a player with a low contract with one-year left of term left.

Fake news. Dadonov would be ineligible to play another NHL game until next season

Your made up argument is for UFA who are signed after the TDL

So he could help a team make the playoffs but not play in them if they make it? I've never heard of that, has it happened before?

So if he gets traded post deadline and that ends his season, does he have any grounds to sue for his remaining wages? Team doesn't honour is NTC so the trade gets voided after the point where normal trades can no longer be facilitated, resulting in losing out on 20 games of wages. That seems like a real bum end of the stick.

Have to imagine the NHLPA would be causing a fuss over that.

He'd still get paid. He just wouldn't be able to play.

At this point though it's not necessary. The only way it would be needed is if Smith or Stone get healthy.

Ah that makes sense, I just assumed he wouldnt be paid since he's ineligible to be in the line up.

Drouin looks done for the year. Injured

Could we trade for Dadonov with a sweetener ?
