Somebody was worried about Seattle expansion in J.Jokinen -thread.
How Rasmussen would go to juniors because of expansion draft etc...
That's definitely not true. 1-2 year pros are excluded from 2020 summer expansion draft, and Rasmussen, Zadina, Cholowski etc. everybody drafted at 2018 or later, or having a first pro season at 2018-19 are excluded.
You have to be pro. Hronek has to be protected, because he has already 1 AHL season. And before 2020, he is gonna get 2 extra pro seasons more in AHL/NHL. So he will have 3.
Expansion draft rules were informed to be identical what Vegas expansion had. 7F+3D+1G protection, or 4F+4G+1G.
Our estimated list:
Protected:
1. Larkin
2. Nielsen (NMC)
3. Mantha
4. Athanasiou
5. Bertuzzi
6. Svechnikov
7. Nyquist (if extended/re-signed) or some optional forward like Abdelkader
----------------------
Also safe:
8. Rasmussen
9. Zadina
10. Veleno
11. Berggren
12. G.Smith
13. Pope
14. Pearson (college guy, still not a pro)
-------------------
Left exposed:
- Zetterberg contract
- Abdelkader
- Helm
- Glendening
- Turgeon
- Puempel
- Sadowy
- Ehn
- Holmstrom
- Vanek (UFA)
- Witkowski (UFA)
- Frk (UFA)
Defence:
1. DeKeyser
2. Hronek
3. Hicketts/Saarijärvi/Jensen
------------------
Also safe:
4. Cholowski
5. McIsaac
6. Lindström
7. Kotkansalo
8. Holway
9. Regula
10 Setkov etc.
-----------------
Left exposed:
- Hicketts/Saarijärvi/Jensen
- Sulak
- Green (UFA)
- Ericsson (UFA)
- Daley (UFA)
Goalies:
1. Bernier
---------------
Also safe:
2. Fulcher
3. Rybar
4. Larsson
5. JVP
6. Petruzzelli
-------------
Left exposed:
- Howard (UFA)
- Säteri (UFA)
Pretty much everything is in safe.
Biggest decision comes for the 3rd defensive spot, but I think we have Karlsson or Trouba there at 2020.
