Hello, it came to SMJHL HO's attention that the Vancouver Whalers traded their S76 3rd round pick twice, first to Regina here and secondly to GFG here. This is in clear violation of the SMJHL Rulebook 10.c, Trading the Same Pick Twice.

Per rule 10.c.1 and 10.c.2, Vancouver will be punished as such:

1. The transfer of VAN's S76 2nd round pick to GFG ("The second trade featuring the double traded pick will be altered to have the offending team's pick adjusted to the next available pick one round higher."
2. The forfeiture of VAN's S78 3rd round pick ("The offending team's next available 3rd round pick will be forfeit.") (VAN previously traded their S77 3rd round pick, so they forfeit their next available 3rd round pick.)

As always, teams are able to appeal this decision should they wish. Tagging @Seany148 for visibility.
