Also, with expansion, each team can lose 2 players only, providing there are 2 teams being added, correct?

Yes. If two teams we could lose two players. Expansion teams tend to focus on younger players so if left unprotected, shore and granlund could be targets.
I hear you on the young players but if we are at risk of losing players due to waivers because there is not enough room, wouldn't it be prudent to get something for those players instead of losing them?
If you can buy low on an asset that's good management. Especially if you can parlay that asset into something bigger at a later date which I believe would be the case here.
