Reminds of when the Habs robbed the Golden Seals of their 1st overall pick turned Guy Lafleur. If the Sharks don't get their **** together, I guess we can say that Bay Area (Lafleur trade and probably Karlsson trade) and Ottawa ("purposely tanking" for Daigle, Yashin/Duchene trade) has changed the way teams value their 1st round picks.
Aside from that, most of the teams who traded unknowingly their top pick in advance were able to get over it eventually.
Leafs were able to get through the Kessel for picks turned Hamilton, Seguin.
Islanders were able to get through the Yashin for Chara and pick turned Spezza
Sens will probably get over the Duchene for Turris, Hammond, pick turned Byram, +++
