Who is on your protected roster?
- stashu

eichel, skunk, kane, ror, girgens, larsson, ennis
risto, pysyk, mccabe
lehner, ullmark


or I leave lehner unprotected and add foligno, deslaurers, bogo and franson to the protected list

Eichel and skunk are safe, entry-level contracts, so replace 2 there

Unprotected. Moulson, gionta, foligno, legwand, franson, gorges, ullmark
- joshs

legwand is not under contract for next season, so doesn't fit int he draft

there you go, then risto is safe as well, so I would go with 7 guys up front, 3 d men and protect both goalies

He might have years on a contract out of the guys left unprotected.

Are we still talking about the kane myers trade???

It wasnt just a player swap. Myers was about to go on a ntc and stafford was a pending ufa. Also we needed to get worse yet retain salary to gurantee eichel. Thats where kane comes in. He was injured yet he still counted against our cap. If we had 3 points more we might have ended up with strome. Also we were about to lose Lemiuex bcz he refused to sign his elc with buffalo.

As far as a straight players swap the deal favors the jets as far as what the deal actually meant to buffalo it was a good deal for buffalo.

We didnt just get bogo and kane. We guranteed eichel with that trade.

Amen.

My question though, is it the entire 50-man roster? I would imagine so, but that's such a fraction to protect (12 or 14 players).

The big fight is going to be are you allowed to draft players with NTC and NMC. The NHLPA is going to say no and the NHL is going to say yes. If the answer is no then obviously each team is going to make their players without it be protected and the ones with it unprotected since they can't be taken anyways.

Unless the NHL makes players with the NTC and NMC in their contracts automatically protected.

Pysyk back already after playing all weekend for Rochester. 4 games in 5 days for him if he plays tonight.

And Lehner expected to play only 1 more game down there.

We dont need 2 goalies.

this and the 1 year deals will make it tricky as the contracts are so different now vs 20 years ago

my guess is nowadays, you protect 30 on your 50 man roster, instead of just the nhl roster with everything slotted

x players up front
y d men
z goalies


and probably be allowed to pull back half your unprotected players once your first player is selected

Know much about Knoxville and the communities around it? Found this on Facebook and sent it to a friend who grew up there.

To me, your last sentence is the obvious answer.
