  3. Trade for a player who is under contract for 2021-22 who meets the games played requirement and leave him exposed

They have to do one of those three things prior to the expansion draft.
There may also be a few UFAs forwards floating around right now who didn’t get a contract but who qualify. Grabner, Hainsey, etc.
