Unless we resign him before the expansion draft he will be an UFA I believe.It'll likely be one of Moore/Hyman/ that gets lost to Seattle, which meh.

Yes. If they have 7 better forwards, they won't sign him.
i didnt realize he would be a ufa. could the leafs not make an "agreement" to sign him after the expansion draft so they do not need to protect him?
Fun Fact: Leafs only have 2 of the 11 players they protected in that draft still on the team: Rielly/Andersen
JB won't be here by then.Suggesting Bracco to be on the protected list certainly would have a few people here going a little nuts.
For instance, see Kiwi below.
Of course, its two whole years before the draft, and say Bracco's become a 60 pt. playmaker on the squad wit his elite passing skills at the same cap hit or less than Kerfoot. Then yeah, you probably protect him over a 40pt playmaking center who might be replaceable by say, Engvall or Brooks (both of whom might have major breakout seasons this year and be ready to replace him) by then at again, a lower cap hit.
that's pretty nuts.
It's meaningless now but LOL at Lou protecting Martin over Leipsic.
Whatever happened to the return they got for Martin?oh gdammitt i forgot.
Isn't the Expansion Draft a few years away?
yes, it was McAdam, who is a UFA right now.Whatever happened to the return they got for Martin?
I think it was goalie but could be wrong.
Well not really when it comes to discussions of future cap and rosters and trades etc. It has to factor in to a posters thinking before projecting Ufa,s that you will have to protect.Way too early. Several of those players won't be Leafs in two/three years.

I would be surprised if hyman wasnt on the list over kap or johnsson
If I protected today it would be..
Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Nylander, Johnsson, Kapanen, Bracco
Rielly, Barrie, Muzzin
Andersen
The lineup will change during the next couple years though, players will fall and rise and trades and signings will happen.
Bracco wouldn’t have to be protected . Kerfoot falls in and its good. Dermott is exempt
We will likely lose another 1st protecting a player.
Which will mean 3 years in a row without a 1st rounder - aka an utter disaster

Bracco has NOT PLAYED A NHL GAME. WHY IS HE BEING PROTECTED??
