Borgström is eligible for the expansion draft even without a contract,
@CapFriendly confirms.

They are certainly more correct than I am at Capfreindly, but I don't think this is true...you don’t have to protect overseas prospects in the expansion draft, right?
if they are unsigned to NHL contracts.
If so, I am gonna bet the hawk’s protected list looks like this:
(We get 14 players a nice start.)
Remember you only LOSE
one player, unless you feed Seattle extra Kraken berries....to "save another favorite"...
7 forwards
Toews
Kane
Hagel
Nylander
Henrik Borgström C
3 Defense
Seabrook
Keith
Murphy
1 goalie
Kevin Lankinen

Only Los Angeles Montreal Ny Rangers large amounts of good and almost ready prospects that are freebies...the thing is any other team only needs to have two exempt who become NHL stars and be better than these teams players who become NHlers, but simply journeymen.
that is why you always look for dynamic.
