Every expansion draft has had slightly different rules. Unless they already promised Seattle that the rules weren't subject to change, couldn't the NHL make them whatever they want?
They'd be part of the expansion deal, though. They can't set the rules arbitrarily, it would be part of whatever deal Seattle agrees to.
