Evgenii Dadonov was supposed to end up in Anaheim, but stayed in Vegas for the end of the season before joining the Montreal Canadiens. Dadonov had put Anaheim on the list of teams he didn't want to be traded to.
The NHL was blamed for this, and now there's a new development about the issue.
Elliotte Friedman, on 32 Thoughts, revealed that the Ducks officially asked for a compensatory pick at the next draft.
As Derek Lee reported on Twitter:
It's surprising that the NHL is actually considering the idea. We could see Anaheim get a surprise pick at the draft! We don't know what round it'll be, but a third or fourth-round pick would make sense.
