Since the other thread is getting mega thready

News Update

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
Expansion draft potential. Each team has option of protecting 3d, 7F and I goalie or 8 skaters +1 goalie. Expansion determined before draft

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
GM's told expansion decision expected before June draft. If expand by 1 team, each team loses 1 player...if two teams, 2 players.

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
Should clarify: first- and second-year "pros" exempt from potential expansion draft, not necessarily NHL players. Pro includes AHL

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
Daly says most simple thing to know on expansion draft: teams can only lose one player max if it's expansion by one team; 2 player max if 2

Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli
Teams must have a certain amount of salary exposed, plus positional concerns. 1st & 2nd yr pros will be exempt; 3rd yr ELC players eligible.

Renaud Lavoie @renlavoietva
GMs will know before the draft if expansion will happen in 17-18. If no vote, no new team will play before 18-19. #nhl

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
Other pertinent expansion draft detail: teams must expose enough players which total at least 25 percent of previous season's payroll
