Rejected trade involving Dadonov: a surprising turn of events could occur involving a draft pick

Do you remember the dramatic story of Evgenii Dadonov's trade during the 2021-2022 season?

While he was playing for the Vegas Golden Knights, the forward was traded to Anaheim to clear his substantial contract from the payroll.

What caught attention and caused controversy is that this trade was eventually refused a few hours later due to an administrative error related to a clause in his contract indicating 10 teams to which Dadonov did not want to be traded, including the Ducks.

Although it has been over a year since this saga, a possible turnaround in this case is emerging.

According to information reported by Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman, the Ducks have formally requested a compensatory draft pick from the NHL to make up for this huge blunder.

Since the National League is studying the case, it is still possible that Anaheim could prevail and receive compensation that could be interesting for them.

If they were to get a second or third-round pick, it would be a more than interesting return as compensation.
