#Sens owner Michael Andlauer says #NHL did not advise him of either investigation - botched Dadonov "no-trade" clause or Pinto sports betting incident - before he closed on purchase.
“Maybe they didn’t want to disrupt [it] to make sure the seller got the best price possible."

"Why I inherited this is beyond me," #Sens owner Michael Andlauer says of #NHL punishment forcing team to forfeit first-round draft pick from an incident 591 days ago.
He doesn't understand why it took the league so long to render a decision.

Resigned? Fired? #Sens owner Michael Andlauer says he met with GM Pierre Dorion last night and said the penalty for forfeiture of pick should be "no less" than his job.
"This could have been avoided."
Dorion agreed and they agreed to part ways.
