Protected: F Taylor Hall, F Adam Henrique, F Kyle Palmieri, F Travis Zajac, F Michael Cammalleri, F Beau Bennett, F Reid Boucher, D Andy Greene, D Damon Severson, D Yohann Auvitu, G Cory Schneider Notables exposed would be DSP, Josefson, Moore, Lovejoy, Merrill, and Wedgewood. Most of our best prospects like Zacha, Santini, Wood, Quenneville, Blender, and Blackwood would be exempt so we shouldn't have to spend any protected spots on people not currently on our NHL roster Edited November 24, 2016 by CommonDreads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/official-nhl-expansion-draft-exempt-list-contains-surprises/ No. From the very article you posted: There are bound to be some changes to the list before the 72-hour expansion draft begins on June 17. New contracts will be signed, a handful of injured players will be exempted – i.e. New Jersey’s Ryane Clowe, Toronto’s Nathan Horton and Columbus’ David Clarkson – and some may choose to waive their no-move clause in order to be exposed to Vegas. Anyway, Auvitu is exempt from the expansion draft as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid Boucher...? I would make every forward available except for Henrique, Hall, Zajac, Palmieri. On defense, expose everyone except Severson, Greene, Auvitu, Lovejoy...and if you can, bring back ILYA KOVALCHUK! ;-) Edited November 24, 2016 by Mitico12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Auvitu - i think, is exempt from being protected because he is only a one year pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And forgot that Auvitu is exempt, id probably protect Moore then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of our best prospects like Zacha, Santini, Wood, Quenneville, Blender, and Blackwood would be exempt so we shouldn't have to spend any protected spots on people not currently on our NHL roster I would rather protect Josefson and leave either Boucher or Bennett exposed. All 3 are offensive black holes, but I feel like when they are not scoring JJ has more to offer than Boucher and Bennett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmann422 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 As of now Lovejoy will be the third D protected, but I can see Shero potentially looking to make a move for a better d-man with a team that may lose one to expansion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 DSP and Merrill will be exposed. The issue is you really don't want to expose any of the other eligible F's. Devils almost need to give josefson or boucher an extension so they can expose one of them. i don't like the idea of exposing cammalleri or zajac.
