Not Flames related but some big happenings in the NHL today:
-NHL announced that Ottawa will lose a 1st round pick as punishment for the Dadonov trade debacle that happened between Vegas and Anaheim in March 2022. Seeing he wasn't actually traded, and just said "No, I'm not going", that seems like a pretty harsh punishment. Also seemed to take a really long time, year and a half?!?;
-As a result of losing a 1st round pick, the Senators have fired Pierre Dorion; and,
-Nicklas Backstrom and his 1,033 pts in 1,105 games, is stepping away from the Capitals/NHL for health reasons.
Kinda sucks for Andlauer, buys the team, and within months has a high end prospect suspended for 41 games, loses a 1st round pick, and fires the GM.
