The rules state:

* All first- and second-year professionals, as well as all unsigned draft choices, will be exempt from selection (and will not be counted toward their club’s applicable protection limits).

doesn't say anything about choosing to allow them to be selected. IMO without any other wording it seems to indicate that first and second year pros cannot be selected regardless if the team is willing to let them or not.

Also where it says elects to expose an RFA goalie, it is referring to the contract status in the previous statement. Not a blanket statement to choose any RFA you want.
