A 3-2 loss on the ice comes after team fires GM, centre Shane Pinto is suspended and a draft pick is forfeited
Tuesday was trick or treat night, followed immediately by the Day of the Dead, the Aztec Dia de los Muertos, where all are to remember those who have passed.Ottawa SenatorsCertainly, Michael Andlauer seemed rather startled, if not quite spooked, when in a Wednesday news conference the exasperated new owner said, “In the last 10 days, we’ve had three losses, three injuries, a 41-game suspension, and the loss of a first-round pick.
Then came the real crusher. As the result of yet another league investigation, it was determined that the Senators had bungled a trade of journeyman player Evgenii Dadonov when they failed to inform the Vegas Golden Knights that Dadonov had a 10-team no-trade clause in his contract. When the Golden Knights tried to deal him last year to the Anaheim Ducks, they were informed the Ducks were on that list. The trade was quickly nullified by the league.
Though clearly upset with the league decision, the new owner chose to take the high road. “At the end of the day,” he said, “we are at fault for what transpired. We can argue about how harsh this penalty was, but ultimately this could have been avoided. … What both Andlauer and Staios, both out-of-towners, need to know, if they do not already, is that Ottawa sports fans are deeply insecure, having lost their NHL franchise once generations back and previously watched professional football, baseball and lacrosse teams either collapse or move.
