Sportsnet: The NHL has ruled that the Arizona Coyotes will forfeit their 2020 second-round pick and their 2021 first-round pick for violating the combine testing policy.

“While the Combine Testing Policy Memoranda reference a fine of ‘no less than $250,000 for each violation’ of the Policy, I exercise my discretion to impose the aforementioned discipline — which I consider to be more appropriate given the specific circumstances of this case,” Bettman said in his ruling.

Bettman added that individuals involved won’t be disciplined.
