Happy New Year! I started the New Year with a controversial tweet:

“The Panthers are now eligible to trade to get back Smith and Marchessault”- @sun_puck

Now I wasn’t saying we should go after them. I mean I would but that is besides the point. I wasn’t trying to be opinionated I was just stating the fact that according to the rules You cannot trade back for a player you gave up in the expansion draft until January 1st. It was just a fact.
