NHL Adjusts Ottawa Senators' Penalty, Draft Pick & Fine

The National Hockey League has adjusted the penalty for the Ottawa Senators involvement in the botched Evgenii Dadonov trade. Instead of forfeiting a first-round draft pick, the Senators will now pick thirty-second overall in the 2026 draft and cannot trade the pick. They must also pay a one-million Canadian dollar fine to the NHL Foundation Canada. This change comes after the Senators requested reconsideration due to new ownership and better oversight. The leagues decision reflects a crackdown on circumvention tactics, with the fine supporting hockey programs in communities.
