Yea, I was wondering the same thing.

Yeah, right now my biggest worry would be losing Kevin. I guess who we lose may be dependent on the order of the draft and who Vegas has already taken.

Its no slam dunk that Frolik gets protected.

Sorry if this has been asked,
What defines the players position?
Players like byfuglien and Burns, who have played both positions in the nhl.
What if a team intentionally changed an AHL goalie to a defender on their farm team?

Teams may be safe to not protect certain higher-priced players, as the Vegas team also will operate within a salary cap. They can't pick 30 players at $5-mil each....

What I am trying to say is that if we have to leave Frolik exposed, he may still not get picked as his salary is relatively high compared to his production...

if there is only 1 expansion team, order doesn't matter.

Vegas just takes 1 player from each team.

I wonder how they choose each player? Maybe they start with the cup winners and go all the way down. They should make an event out of it where they only know whose exposed for 2 minutes before they have to pick for each team haha.

Be much better than them knowing days in advance and they just make a press release.

Both have already played 2 full AHL seasons.
I can't see how they wouldn't have to be protected or exposed if not.

Yeah, it will be great to see a full list of who is exempt, who has NMCs, etc. to get a feel of who might be protected/exposed. My gut feel is that an expansion team will load up on D. What teams have a #4 that is pretty good, but not worthy of protecting and thereby exposing the extra Forwards? Perhaps overvaluing Kevin a bit, but I would likely take him over Ferland, if I were LV.

Without some trades all of their players will be waiver eligible, so stocking some of them for their farm team will be interesting.
Well they probably won't have a farm team right away but just send these players wherever they can.

As would I. I don't mind Ferland but he seems to get a little too much love for one good series without showing much sign of that same player otherwise.

plays in eleven (11) or more Professional Games (including NHL Regular

games, and games played in any European professional league, while
under an SPC), and (B) for a Player aged 20 or older, mean any season in

Yeah I guess it would be better said what the internal order of the expansion team has, meaning what available players (in this case defencemen) are ranked ahead of Kevin.

At least something good came out of Gillies getting hurt last season.

Edit: Or I guess it wouldn't have better if he played the whole season or not since he was older than 19. Last season counted as his first pro season.

Why the hell would we expose Colborne? At this point he has to be #6 on the list of forwards we do protect.

then Shinkaruk and Poirer would be exempt because this season is their 20 year old season is it not?
