ALL READ: 3-Team Trading Maximum (Preseason + Reg Season)

Hello everyone! As many of you know, per the League Rulebook, a player can only be dealt three times during one preseason-to-regular season period.

Having just done a full audit on this (see full results below), there are currently:

-- 35 players (pro and farm combined) who have been dealt twice
-- 3 players who have been dealt three times
-- 1 player who was dealt four times

Because the deal that resulted in a player (Derek Forbort) being traded a fourth time happened recently (Feb 1st), we are reversing that trade and re-assigning all assets from that deal back to their previous owners.

Back to Carolina: Mark Pysyk, Jarred Tinordi
Back to Minnesota: Derek Forbort, Brogan Rafferty**, MTL 4th 2022

**= Rafferty will return to Minnesota's pro team, despite Carolina sending him to the farm, having passed through waivers on 2/6

Due to the violation of the "three trades per player" rule, both clubs engaging in the rejected deal will be fined:

Minnesota (the trading team): $2,000,000
Carolina (the acquiring team): $1,000,000

NOTE: The fines have been rescinded - see the email sent Monday night, Feb 8th, for more info.

ALL READ NOTE: Even if we do not catch such a deal in time, the responsibility lies with the GM in making sure a player being dealt OR acquired has not already been dealt three times. We may only be able to update the list below periodically - we will do our best.
