Ottawa Senators head coach D.J. Smith says his team will just have to block out the noise moving forward.
The Senators fired general manager Pierre Dorion on Wednesday after the franchise was forced to forfeit a first-round pick in one of the next three upcoming drafts for its role in an invalidated trade in 2022.
"And then whatever the side noises, you know, you got to deal with that. But the best teams just cut the noise out and we've got to cut the noise out." As a result, the Knights' trade of Dadonov to Anaheim in 2022 was invalidated as the Ducks were one of the teams on his no-trade list.
