BBKL Proposed Expansion Draft (fun example)

[Lee]

Teams are allowed to protect either one goaltender, five defensemen, and nine forwards or two goaltenders, three defensemen, and seven forwards.

The old rules were as follows:

For teams protecting only one goaltender, there was no experience requirement for those left unprotected. For teams protecting two goaltenders, each goaltender left unprotected must have appeared in either 10 NHL games in the 1999–2000 season or 25 games in the 1998–99 season and 1999–2000 seasons combined. A goaltender had to be in net for at least 31 minutes in each game for the game to be counted against these totals.
At least one defenceman left unprotected by each team had to have appeared in at least 40 games in the 1999–2000 season or 70 games in the 1998–99 season and 1999–2000 seasons combined. At least two forwards left unprotected by each team had to have met the same requirements.

1st and 2nd year pro players are exempt.

[Phion Keneuf]

I wouldn't keep anyone except Lucic....

[Sensfanjosh]

Just out of curiousity, but if the NHL does indeed expand next year, is this the procedure we would follow?

[The BBKL Insider]

I'd think we should follow it

[Tony]

Interesting thought ... we would almost have to.

[Mike]

Yeah, that'd be strange.

[Mike]

I assume there's a max you can take from one team?

[Tony]

One?

[Mike]

One?

two new teams, only 30 players between them?

[Tony]

Two? One per team.
