jammer2 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The NHL has just announced, the expansion draft this coming summer will be televised. There will be tons of drama also, because the league has mandated that NHL teams do not have to release the list of non protected players. http://thehockeywriters.com/nhl-expansion-draft-will-be-televised/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilldoc Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I have not researched or googled it yet, but does anyone know what order the Vegas team will be picking from the other teams? Meaning, will they go alphabetical or by final overall standings? Just curious..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 came across this nifty tool for the expansion draft. I'm sure there are more like it out there..... http://planmyteam.com/NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the "reveal" will be alphabetical order. Or maybe they'll pull balls out of a bucket and have Vegas announce the player they pick from that team?! Or, or... I honestly can't believe they're making a tv spectacle out of the submission of a list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be interesting. If for no other reason, nobody but Vegas will know which players were not protected. I expect a few teams to make side deals to avoid their players being taken. For instance, if I'm San Jose, I would NOT want to lose Dell. In fact, I'd pay a 2nd to not lose him. As you know, a good back up can mean home ice advantage for longer, insurance against your starter getting injured. I'm convinced Dell is the real deal. They pay a 2nd to keep him, but maybe down the road, they get a 1st for him....even if he is 27, I really, really like that guy. Same for Saros on Nashville. Can't see Nash wanting to part with Rinne, he still has a few good years left in him, but Saros is young and talented and will start to steal games away from Rinne next year. Maybe Washington wants to keep Grubauer. Vegas could really clean up with prospects and or picks in some of these scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Rick Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Can someone explain how this works? Is this like in the old days when every existing team must surrender one player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPuk Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 It's actually quite simple. LV must take one player from each of the existing 30 franchises. LV cannot take more than one player from each of the other 30 teams. Players eligible for the draft are those not protected by a team. Any players with no trade or no movement clauses in their contracts cannot be drafted (and therefore do not need to be protected). There are a lot of other "rules" about who has to be protected and who doesn't, but what it comes down to is that LV must draft from the list of unprotected players provided by each team. I'm sure if I missed something other posters will be by to correct me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're mostly right. Since they have these clauses they MUST be protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
