Any discussion on the 'second year pros are protected' thing?
What's counting as pro? Just NHL, or AHL as well? What about guys like McDavid or Eichel who will have completed their second years, but not be in their third yet? Will they need to be protected?
Hoping expiring NMC's don't need to be protected, that would be silly. Like Wideman on the Flames, we have Gionta on a NMC contract that expires the end of next season. Would be absurd to have to protect that.
