Evgenii Dadonov is staying in Las Vegas after all.
As NHL Public Relations reports, the league has canceled Monday’s trade between the Golden Knights and Ducks, which would have sent Dadonov to Anaheim.
The NHL released a statement Wednesday regarding the decision, saying, “The trade could not be concluded because Dadonov’s contract includes a limited no-trade clause which has not been complied with.”
The 33-year-old is expected to be in the lineup for Vegas on Thursday against the Nashville Predators.
Initially acquired by the Ducks at Monday’s trade deadline, it was apparently unknown to both squads that Anaheim was not on Dadonov’s list of preferred trade destinations.
