Has the league said how many players each team would be selecting? Would they select an 18 man roster (12, 6, 2) or would they select a 23 man roster? I would hope the league would make sue this was well known, and there were constraints on what a team could draft. Could you imagine an expansion team selecting a 23 man roster, picking two goaltenders, nine forwards, then a dozen defensemen in an attempt to corner the market on defensemen for horse trading before the season starts and the next trade deadline? Not a likely scenario, but an interesting strategy given the lack of defensive talent in the NHL.
