sureloss has

The expansion draft will be happening from June 18-20, 2017. As such, I would think both players would be exempted from the draft even if they are unsigned before the draft?
The rules for the expansion draft found on the
NHL website state that (my emphasis added): "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).
EDIT: sureloss sureloss'd my reference to sureloss' thread!
