Does anyone know the expansion draft status for valimaki if he is called up after the regular season? Does he already need to be protected? If not, how many more games does he have to play before he needs to be protected in the draft? Do playoff games count towards that limit?
If the team continues to have success, it may be in their best long term interest to keep him in the ahl to avoid having to protect him in the upcoming expansion draft.
Thanks in advance!
