An expansion draft related trade!

Washington Capitals @Capitals
TRADE: #Caps have acquired center @TyGraovac from the Wild in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2018 NHL Draft. …

Reason for this trade? It's so the Caps can protect Lars Eller in the expansion draft. Gives them another forward under contract thru 17-18.

Had the Caps not made this trade, they would have had to expose two of Wilson, Eller and Beagle because of expansion draft rules.
