I think some teams made mistakes in the expansion draft. Misjudged the values of their players and the value of the Vegas selection itself. Of course hindsight makes this much easier but I thought Florida really made some bad choices here in letting Smith and Marchessault go. March was 26 and coming off a 51pt season. Maybe a trade would have been the better route.
