This year’s NHL trade deadline brought a lot of drama with it. In fact, the buzz around big names like Mikko Rantanen continued to brew even after the trade deadline came to an end. Yet, just when things were starting to quiet down in the NHL, a trade move by American Hockey League team, the Utica Comets, has left fans stunned.
That’s because the Comets general manager Dan MacKinnon has traded Will MacKinnon right ahead of the AHL trade deadline on March 14. You may be wondering, there’s nothing dramatic about last-minute trades. However, as the last name suggests, Will is Dan MacKinnon’s son. What the Utica Comets got in return shocked the fans even more.
“The GM of the Utica Comets, Dan MacKinnon, traded his son Will MacKinnon for Future Considerations… Trading your son for Future Considerations is DIABOLICAL,” B/R Open Ice wrote in the caption of their post. The bizarre move left hockey fans scratching their heads as the Comets traded Will MacKinnon for nothing. So one fan hypothesized: “You’d have to assume it was probably what the son wanted.”
