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.
