Hmm I'd have to wait on NHL clarification for that.
Last time the expansion draft was held before July 1st and any UFAs were still technically property of their team, meaning the contract was still the season prior contract and not the season after contract.
Capfriendly might have checked but prior to July 1st that means Brodie would still have his NMC since the contract won't turn over until after July 1.
Edit: Looks like this was clarified for Vegas and Brodie will not have to be protected. Honestly though will be interesting to see if there is any grey area here.

Why would any NMC not be “currently effective and continuing”?
Players and their respective teams have the flexibility to apply NMC or NTC protection to any year of the player’s contract, with one exception: A player is not eligible for a NMC or NTC in their contract until they are eligible for Group 3 Unrestricted Free Agency (7 accrued seasons or 27 years of age). That means a player can sign a contract that has a NMC or NTC take effect partway through the contract for the season that they would have otherwise become eligible for Group 3 Unrestricted Free Agency.
Examples: Cam Talbot has a NMC in 2016-17 and 2017-18, and a Modified NTC in 2018-19. He would need to be protected by the Edmonton Oilers because he has a NMC that is “currently effective and continuing at the time of the Expansion Draft”.
Tuukka Rask has a NMC through 2016-17, and a Modified NTC in 2017-18 and beyond. He would not have to be protected by the Boston Bruins.
