What? Are teams just saying "No" to only protecting certain players? Lol.

[Arian The Insider]

Meaning teams that have a ton of 1st/2nd year pros and not enough vets? I don't get it.

[The BBKL Insider]

I just read the expansion rules. The leafs may fall into that category of not having enough players. They'll need to resign michalek, greening and laich for an extra year. They should also keep bozak and lupul. They'll need players to expose.

Expansion Draft

Bill Daly said the rules have “continued to develop over time,” but that the rules are “nailed down” to the extent they need to be.

The NHL expansion draft outline was reported earlier this year, and caused a stir. Since then, there’s been some clarification.

For example:

1. Daly said that first and second-year “professionals” will be exempt from the draft, but there’s a “specific procedure” in place to define what a professional is.

2. Daly said that the “minimum cap hit” provision has been dropped; i.e. having a minimum amount of cap-related salary made available in the expansion draft.

3. On the no-movement and no-trade clauses, Daly said the latter wouldn’t prevent a player from being exposed in the draft. A no-move clause, however, means a team would have to protect that player and they would count against a team’s total.

4. If a team, for whatever reason, violates the expansion draft rules, there will be “significant penalties” including loss of draft picks or players.

Also, Daly said that an expansion team or teams wouldn’t be handed the first or second overall pick in the NHL Draft, but would be placed in the draft lottery.
