Also the expansion draft.
They are all in on Spurgeon, Suter and Brodin. And they can only protect 3.
You could argue that they don't protect Suter, but 1) that option may not be available to them, and 2) if they did that, and Seattle selected him, he would be a huge risk to retire, slapping Minny with a MASSIVE cap penalty.
