That's right, so I believe right now the only players that meet this requirement are
Tkachuk
Gaudreau
Monahan
Backlund
Lucic
Lindholm
Mangiapane
I believe there's also an NHL games played requirement so a guy like Froese or Kirkland doesn't count unless they play 27 NHL games this year.
But even if Lucic doesn't waive this is easily fixed by extending a guy like Ryan, Nordstrom or Leivo another year just before the expansion draft.
