lukchin Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Didn't see one started yet...what's your prediction for the Canucks protected list? Here's my prediction: Protect Forwards (7): 1. Bo Horvat 2. Loui Eriksson (Because we have to NTC) 3. Jake Virtanen 4. Elias Pettersson 5. Brock Boeser 6. Adam Gaudette 7. Nikolay Goldobin *We don't have to protect Jack Hughes because he'll be 2nd year pro still. Protect D-men (3): 1. Quinn Hughes (if he comes in early this year in March 2019) 2. Olli Juolevi (Assuming he plays this year or next) 3. Ben Hutton (Assuming he extends) Protect Goalie (1): 1. Thatcher Demko (Assuming he starts playing 2019/20) Expose: Antoine Roussel Markus Granlund (Assuming he extends) Tim Schaller Tyler Motte Josh Leivo Erik Gudbranson Troy Stecher Derrick Pouliot Alex Biega Jacob Markstrom (Assuming he extends) *Assuming Tanev and Edler are gone. Here's the rules: Expansion Draft Seattle will follow the same rules for the 2021 Expansion Draft as Vegas did in 2017: Regulations Relating to Seattle Expansion Franchise * The Seattle franchise must select one player from each presently existing club – all except Vegas – for a total of 30 players (not including additional players who may be acquired as the result of violations of the Expansion Draft rules). * The Seattle franchise must select the following number of players at each position: 14 forwards, nine defensemen and three goaltenders. * The Seattle franchise must select a minimum of 20 players who are under contract for the 2021‑22 season. * The Seattle franchise must select players with an aggregate Expansion Draft value that is between 60-100 percent of the prior season’s upper limit for the salary cap. * The Seattle franchise may not buy out any of the players selected in the Expansion Draft earlier than the summer following its first season. Protected Lists * Clubs will have two options for players they wish to protect in the Expansion Draft: a) Seven forwards, three defensemen and one goaltender b) Eight skaters (forwards/defensemen) and one goaltender * All players who have currently effective and continuing “No Movement” clauses at the time of the Expansion Draft (and who decline to waive such clauses) must be protected (and will be counted toward their club’s applicable protection limits). * All first- and second-year professionals, as well as all unsigned draft choices, will be exempt from selection (and will not be counted toward their club’s applicable protection limits). Player Exposure Requirements * All clubs must meet the following minimum requirements regarding players exposed for selection in the Expansion Draft: i) One defenseman who is a) under contract in 2021-22 and b) played in 40 or more NHL games the prior season OR played in 70 or more NHL games in the prior two seasons. ii) Two forwards who are a) under contract in 2021-22 and b) played in 40 or more NHL games the prior season OR played in 70 or more NHL games in the prior two seasons. iii) One goaltender who is under contract in 2021-22 or will be a restricted free agent at the expiration of his current contract immediately prior to 2021-22. If the club elects to make a restricted free agent goaltender available in order to meet this requirement, that goaltender must have received his qualifying offer prior to the submission of the club’s protected list. * Players with potential career-ending injuries who have missed more than the previous 60 consecutive games (or who otherwise have been confirmed to have a career-threatening injury) may not be used to satisfy a club’s player exposure requirements, unless approval is received from the NHL. Such players also may be deemed exempt from selection by the League. Edited December 4, 2018 by lukchin 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post theo5789 Posted December 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2018 It's far too early to decide as it's still a couple more seasons after this one. With that said, I don't think we need to protect Eriksson because it's a NTC not a NMC. 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post aliboy Posted December 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2018 I would protect Gudbranson rather than Hutton. 2 3 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dm_ranger Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Horvat - Pettersson, - Boeser, Gaudette - Virtanen +2 Juolevi +2 Demko Hughes and Dipietro won't need them yet as they will have 2 or less years pro. Also, Eriksson doesn't have to be protected -- only a limited no-trade at that point. Edited December 4, 2018 by dm_ranger spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Let's just hope they don't have the Cinderella year that Vegas had last year. It would be very annoying to have a better (playoff) team a few hours away, when we've been trying to win the Cup for the last 48 years. Protected: Horvat Boeser Pettersson Virtanen Gaudette Goldobin Sutter Tanev Hutton Stecher do we have to protect a goalie? lol (Nilsson then) Safe: Q. Hughes Juolevi Dahlen Lind Demko 2019 Draft Picks 2020 Draft Picks 2021 Draft Picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 At this point, all we know (or that matters) is we will protect Pettersson, Boeser, and Horvat. Way too far away to know much beyond that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDragon23 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Well first: protect Bo, Petey, Brock, Gaudette, Demko, Hughes and Juolevi at all costs, that’s our future. It is a bit early to decide who to expose. I’d wait a bit to decide who is expendable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the 2021 season, which means anyone not on a professional contract now will be safe. Hughes is safe the other 4 are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hughes wants to turn pro at the end of this season and burn a year off his ELC do you really want to pee off your prize prospect and say no? I don't think so.....

lukchin Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 I think we have to protect Eriksson unless he is willing to waive. Same like Phaneuf except he refused to waive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 2 minutes ago, The Great Canucks said: No, they are not safe. The draft is happening in 2021. I thought the player had to play at least 2 NHL seasons to be eligible? So, if Hughes, Juolevi, Demko and Dahlen make the team out of camp next year (2019), they will have played two full seasons by the fall of 2021, so I guess they would need to be protected? In that case, trade Tanev at the 2019 TDL for a Draft pick. Expose Stecher in the expansion draft. Horvat Pettersson Boeser Virtanen Gaudette Dahlen or Sutter (depending when Dahlen starts) 2019 1st Round Pick Hughes Juolevi Hutton Demko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious if we can have handshake agreements to sign these guys after the expansion draft to allow us more space to protect players. They will have an early window to sign UFAs, but it comes down to if the player wants to even sign there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
