Tomdog Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 So what is everyone's idea on the expansion draft protection list. Assuming we can get Parise to waive his NMC. Do we protect 8 and a goalie, or 7 and 3 defensmen? My thinking right now would be, Fiala, Kaprisof, EEK, Zuccerelo, Brodin, Spurgeon, Dumba, Soucy, and Suter, only because we have to, and Kakonen. I really don't see any of the forwards that indispensable right now. So what did I miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can protect a goalie and 7 forwards and 3 defensemen for a total of 10 players Or any combo of 8 players. A team's list of players who are not protected in the draft must meet certain requirements. Of a team's defensemen exposed to the draft, at least one must be under contract in 2021-22 and have played in at least 40 NHL games the prior season, or played in at least 70 NHL games in the prior two seasons. Teams must expose two forwards who under contract in 2021-22 and have played in at least 40 NHL games the prior season, or played in at least 70 NHL games in the prior two seasons. Of the goaltenders who will be exposed, at least one must be under contract in 2021-22 or will be a restricted free agent at the end of his current contract immediately prior to 2021-22. If a goaltender is exposed who is a restricted free agent, he must have already received his qualifying offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonkkis Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Kaprizov is exempt due to him being a 1st year player 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I saw 8 skaters and 1 goaltender. My biggest question is, which forward would you rather have over a dumba/soucy combo? Right now I feel either of those 2 would be taken over everyone not on my first lst of 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxrattle Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Tough to say, but here is some more food for thought: https://thehockeywriters.com/minnesota-wild-kraken-protection-list/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomdog Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 So I read the article and kind of disagree with some of it. I'm not convinced that Greenway is less expendable than Dumba or Soucy. I did forget about Foligno as he has been out for awhile. The ideal problem solver would be to get Parise and Suter to realize that Seatle relly wouldn't take them anyway, so for the good of the team, waive the NTC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxrattle Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Exactly. That is what they should do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClusterChuck Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hopefully there's no deals made this time around. I have way more faith in Guerin but let's not go that route please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also opposite of any trades in the team during the spring when chemistry among the players is already developed of different levels. Better by doing this during off seasons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
