мeтpо Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 With the report from Adam Proteau that the NHL is thinking about expanding to Seattle and.... Las Vegas...(Adam Proteau @Proteautype For what it's worth, I heard from a veteran hockey executive today who thinks the NHL's next expansion will put teams in Seattle...& Vegas) ., who on the Canucks would you protect? Assuming the rules are the same from the 2000 Expansion draft, make your list of who you would protect. The Rules: You can protect either: One Goalie, Five Defencemen, and 9 forwards OR Two goalies, Three D-men, and 7 forwards. ( Please note that these players had to at least have to be on the active roster) My list: Protect: Lack Hamhuis, Garrison, Edler, Bieksa, Tanev Sedins, Burrows Kesler, Hansen, 3rd Line center Higgins, Kassian, Schroeder While an NHL expansion may be exciting, in 2-3 years or so when they plan on expanding, you may see your favourite players who are getting older unprotected. So the question is to you: Who would you protect? I also did one for 2-3 years from now. Shinkaruk, Kesler, Jensen Sedins, Burrows Hansen, Gaunce/Horvat, Kassian Edler, Bieksa Garrison, Hamhuis Tanev Eriksson If both goalies are Lack and Eriksson, Hamhuis, Edler, Garrison (3 dmen) Shinkaruk, Horvat, Jensen, Hansen, Kesler, Kassian, Burrows ( 7 Forwards) Lack, Eriksson ( 2 Goalies ) Thoughts?

Pears Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 9 forwards, 5 defensemen, 1 goalie Forwards: Sedins, Kesler, Burrows, Kassian, Higgins, Hansen, Schroeder, Booth Defense: Hamhuis, Edler, Garrison, Bieksa, Tanev Goalie: Luongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
мeтpо Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 I don't think there's a point in protecting Luongo. He likely wouldn't be drafted because of his contract. Even if he was, the Canucks get out of a horrible contract and have good young goalies going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Was wondering about this before. Usually these are completed just before the NHL draft? So I'm assuming there's no need to protect UFA's? If so, doesn't it make sense to renew the twins to one yr deals, every summer, 'til they retire? Then regarding Luongo:one can almost guarantee he doesn't want to go to any new exp- team. if he were claimed, he'd probably retire early-which then botches our cap-situation. So by next summer, if they can't deal him, it would seem this increases the likelihood of an amnesty buyout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieksa Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Under the assumption it was next year, could MG just not sign Sedins/Hansen and they could just re-sign after the expansion draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiebskey Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 This will probably be in a couple years.. So I would maybe protect.. Lack or Erickson (whoever is better at the time) Hamhuis, Garisson, Edler, Bieksa and Corrado Horvat, Gaunce, Shinkaruk, Kassian, Kesler, Hansen, Burrows, D. Sedin, H. Sedin.

hiebskey Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The general consensus and feel of the league is 2015 season so Horvat, Gaunce, Shinkaruk (and possibly Corrado) will all still be on entry level deals and not need to be protected.

мeтpо Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Yeah.. Seems like kind of a joke. Why not Quebec, Hamilton or maybe Saskatoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keslerific Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Agreed with protecting Lu, He's got a great contract for a new team that needs an exceptional goalie... Low cap hit for his caliber. Would be grabbed in a second as I imagine Quick/Howard/Rinne/Lundqvist would all be protected as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Fivehole0 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I have a good question though! IF and this is an IF so hypothetically speaking... If you were the NJD and Marty and Schneids were still on the team and still looking to play the next season... Do you protect Brody or Schneids, or give up some Dmen to protect both?? Loyalty to Brodeur, the future, or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
