If you believe what Burrows said, then none of Kylington, Shinkaruk or Poirier will be eligible for the expansion draft. He stated players in the first 2 years of their ELCs will be exempt. And Kylington's will slide another year so year 1 will not even be finished and Poirier and Shinkaruk just finished the first years of their ELCs as the previous season had their ELCs slide.
Burrows also said something about 40gp in 2016-17 or 70gp combined, but I am not clear if that is on top of the first 2 years of the ELC or within the first 2 years of the ELC. As in will McDavid need to be protected because he will have played 70 combined in his first 2 years or will Gillies be exempt because he has not played 40/70 despite burning 2 years of his ELC.
