Marchessault had 30 goals the year prior to the expansion draft.
They were cheap and didn’t want to pay him and offered him up so Vegas would take Smith who they had just signed.
Florida is a huge reason Vegas is what they are today and it pissed me off at the time (Still annoyed at how good they are).
Giving them two top 6 forwards for free was madness.
