51 players currently have NMCs that would have to be protected for a possible 2017-18 expansion draft. Full list:

That's interesting. They removed all pending UFAs with NMC (Wideman, Ference, Gionta, Pronger, etc.). I wonder if they're guessing that'll be how it works or if that's what was actually agreed to. This does go against what Greg Wyshynski wrote on Puck Daddy though.
