The Utica Comets traded defenseman Will MacKinnon to the Cleveland Monsters, creating an awkward situation since his father, Dan MacKinnon, is the team's general manager. The Comets' trade announcement sparked humorous fan reactions about familial dynamics. Will, aged 24, has played 42 games this season without goals but contributed four assists. The terms of the trade, notably receiving "future considerations" without an immediate player return, added to the value of the comments about the family dinner that might be strained after this decision.
"I guess this is why you do your chores when your father asks you to," one person joked.
"Father's day is gonna be pretty messed up this year," someone else quipped.
The trade is particularly awkward as the Comets received only 'future considerations' in return for Will.
Will MacKinnon played in 42 games this season with no goals and four assists, and three goals and three assists last year.
