They didn't take no one. They took an NHL defensemen named Engelland. Arguably the most valuable player we exposed.

Why would they want our overpaid depth forwards? All of our best assets were protected. We didn't have any stupid NMC we had to protect. Important assets like Gillies, Parsons, Jankowski, Tkachuk, Andersson, Kylington all exempt. Those are part of our depth. So no, the expansion draft doesn't really tell you a ton about our depth at all.
