Whether the Sens knowingly lied or made a mistake is unknown. The Sens aren't commenting on it and given how loose (and nonexistant) the rules are for players and teams on submitting no trade lists, we may never know.

But logically, there wasn't much for the Sens to gain by lying about Dadonov missing the deadline so most likely the Sens made a mistake.
In a "competent" organization, this seems like a glaring hole, lie, or mischaracterization of what actually occurred. Someone is butt-covering. Somewhere.

Vegas failed to ask?
Ottawa failed to tell?
Neither the player nor the agent were contacted?
The NHL "assumed"? (we know where that goes...)

Absolutely unbelievable in all respects.
