The loss of the 1st round pick is steep but as Fuzzy14 said the Dandonov situation was not a secret and anyone looking at acquiring the team should be asking about any open investigations that may be ongoing with the team. Seems like a bit of a mountain out of a mole hole.

The Dadonov situation, at least publicly, was stated a few years ago as resolved and there would be no further discipline. Now mind you who actually knows what was said behind closed doors, however the loss of a first round pick plus the negative optics will have some financial impacts. Legally I wouldn’t even venture a guess as to what could be done for the Sens.
