Who would you protect

[Bruyns]

Discussion was going on in the CC and obviously rosters will be different next Summer but if the expansion draft were held today who would be exposed?

Protect 6 F 4 D 1 G or 8 skaters 1 G

"Yes. Any player in their first or second season of AHL or NHL hockey will be exempted from the expansion draft.

Note that I expressly included the AHL. What this means is that, as soon as you start playing in the AHL, the clock begins ticking. For the purposes of a 2017 expansion draft, only players that played their first season in 2015-16 or later will be exempted. Obviously, the number of prospects who have yet to play in the AHL or NHL would be part of this category."

I don't think that includes a handful of games before being sent to junior so Nurse is exempt or a handful of AHL games after their junior season so Fabbri is exempt.

I'd regret losing Leo, though a more youth-centric GM might take Kempe or Yak instead. I think I'd probably trade one of my forwards for a comparable D man and expose Holden.
