Interesting list, here are a few teams in trouble if they have to protect these players:
-Colorado already has two D protected, not including Barrie
-CBJ has problems with all groups...they will have to protect Tyutin, Jones and Murray making Johnson available. Up front they have to protect Hartnell.
-If Edmonton happens to grab an actual good D man this summer they will have to expose them or one of Klefblom or Nurse. Never mind, they won't get a good D man ever.
-Minnesota has to protect Pominville
-NYI has to protect 4 d (assuming they replace Hamonic with another D)
-PIT Fleury or Murray?
-if Tampa keeps stamkos they will be tight upfront, probably having to expose some good prospects
-TOR...Horton!,
-WPG has to protect 4 D, exposing some great young prospects
this summer looks to be interesting from a fan's perspective...I suspect we will see some surprise buyouts and lots of shuffling.
