Well, they do have Barkov, Huberdeau, Hornqvist, Vatrano, Duclair, Verhaeghe, and Wallmark up front that they may consider protecting. Then on the blueline they have Ekblad, Yandle, Stralman, Weegar, Nutivaara, Forsling, and Gudas. I don't see a clear protection list there. Based on the investment they just made I suspect they qualify and protect Bennett, but then try and sign him to a two year prove it contract at less than the qualification.
