THE STORY
In March 2022, the NHL voided the Vegas Golden Knights' trade of forward Evgenii Dadonov to the Anaheim Ducks due to a no-trade clause violation. The deal, which aimed to clear salary cap space, was invalidated because Anaheim was on Dadonov's no-trade list. Consequently, Dadonov remained with the Golden Knights for the remainder of the season.
