That's the interesting caveat.

For as much heat as Murray rightfully get's, this team is in decent expansion shape. And I don't mean they play like an expansion team.....but they kind of do

They could add two quality D men that they would need to protect and I believe still be OK if they protected 8 skaters overall, unless I am missing something.

May not be able to do it specifically using kane but in general seems like they've got that window of opportunity to acquire multiple d-men simply because they can and most can't.

Theyd have to leave 82, 28, 22 exposed but i cant imagine anyone being upset by that, especially with E-rod up now.

They would?

The only forwards I can come up with that must be protected are Okposo (contract clause), O'Reilly, and Kane.

Who is the 4th?

Also interesting that Will Carrier needs 1 more game to qualify for the exposure rule as he has 39 games played right now.

Columbus is full of head hunters. Even if the Pens make it out of that round their roster will be diminished.

so we shouldn't expect to see Carrier the rest of the season...

that leaves us quite a few spaces we could fill then doesn't it?
