Yeah it was pretty stupid of them to try and one up the NHL with that deal and paid for it with the fine and loss of a draft pick but they did have the choice of which year to forfeit.
Just so happens the GM was a bit of a moron for not picking 2012 when the 1st round pick was at #29. Might have been able to use 2013 had they not done a draft day trade for the pick leaving next year as the only option.
