The whole situation was complicated by the Brooks Orpik situation the year before. In that case, Washington had traded Orpik to Colorado and they bought him out before Washington brought him back, and I think everyone just assumed that's how that sort of process would work.
This is virtually unprecedented, as far as I know. To quote J. Jonah Jameson:
