The NHL has cancelled the Anaheim Ducks’ trade with the Vegas Golden Knights for Evgenii Dadonov.

In the deal, Dadonov was sent to Anaheim from Vegas along with a second-round pick, in exchange for defenseman John Moore and Ryan Kesler’s contract.

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.
