The decision comes as the result of Dadonov’s partial no-trade clause not being complied with. There are a lack of details regarding the error but Dadonov is now expected to continue the season with Vegas and still has another year remaining on his contract at a $5 million cap hit.
Obviously the trade being invalidated puts Vegas in a pretty tough spot cap-wise but Anaheim also misses out on a solid draft pick here. They were in the perfect spot to take on a bad contract for assets and it was the right idea with a wildly unlikely result.
