Your teams protection list for the expansion draft?

[viper0220]

With a expansion team coming to Houston/Austin, what does your teams early expansion protection list look like?

 

[Summer Rose]

Considering it'll be at least a few more years until the expansion draft, I don't really have the vaguest idea, because so much could change between now and then.

Flyers:

7 F
Couturier (NMC, required)
Konecny (NMC, required)
Dvorak (NTC, required)
Tippett (NTC, required)
Michkov
Zegras
Foerster

Martone, Barkey, Bump exempt if I have the years right. Presuming the expansion draft happens after Martone is no longer exempt, he takes Foerster's spot.

Hopefully we move at least one of the required protection guys, so we can cover all of Michkov, Martone, Zegras, and Foerster.

3D
Sanheim (NTC, required)
Drysdale
York

1G
Vladar (NTC, required)

Without knowing the year it's kind of tough, but for Montreal:

7F:
Suzuki
Slaf
Caufield
Demidov
2C (inshallah)
2 of Newhook/Zharovsky/Hage depending on who's eligible by then

3D:
Hutson
Dobson
Matheson/Guhle depending on who's still around

1G:
Dobeš

NTCs were allowed to be exposed. It was only full NMCs that were required to be protected.

Ah, nice, I must have misread. Now, that doesn't mean the Flyers will do the smart thing, but that would hopefully mean Dvorak off the list in favor of protecting the other four guys, and just relying on Dvorak being in his mid-30s to scare away the Aeros. Cates would probably be a more appealing target, anyway.

I'm excited to see the cap we'll be able to dump

Wondering what happens if there are more NMC’s than protection spots?
