A really big one will end up being Toby Enstrom of the Jets as well - he has a full NMC.

Could mean one of Trouba, Byfuglien, or Myers have to be left unprotected if Enstrom isn't traded before then.

Same thing with the Oilers. They have Sekera who has a NMC - and they likely will want to protect Nurse/Klefbom. So if they did go out and sign or trade for another top 4 d-man this season then they risk losing one of them next year in the expansion draft (haha stupid Oilers).

Tampa could be in a tough spot too since they will have to protect Callahan and Flippula.
