Oh we are in excellent shape for the expansion draft. Something JB has done very well with. All the NTC that people complain about have no barring on the Expansion Draft. We are probably on the top of the list for being best positioned for the draft
No those games are to meet exposure minimum which we already have enough forwards for. It’s confusing but all three of those guys need to be protected or exposed. That’s why JB didn’t give Pearson any draft protection
I’m not talking about Pearson but in general it’s different for a lot of Players.
Some players play their best hockey 25-27 and some players play their best 28-31.
There’s plenty of examples around the league.
Very few but there is also examples of players have great seasons into their mid 30’s.
You can’t speak to every player and say this is there prime. It just doesn’t work that way
Well no expansion protection means they do plan to expose him. 500k less then he was currently making. He’ll be just shy of 32 before the contract expires. The more I think about it, it’s not a bad deal. Just average.
