It will be interesting to see what player protection rules are put in place this time. A lot has changed since the last time there was expansion. The free agent market isn't as robust and contracts tend to be structured a lot differently now.
I think the league is going to force teams to expose players that they would prefer not to. It won't just be the worst contracts, but some younger and cheaper players will have to be left unprotected.
