I don't recall that for the NHL, but Ottawa picked 2nd overall (Yashin) in 1992 which was their first draft before their first season (1992-93) so it looks like there was a restriction.
It sucks regardless for Calgary as unless they finish in a spot for McDavid and/or win the lotto, they'll get pushed back a spot bc of the new Seattle team.
