With expansion rules staying the same, were the draft to be "tomorrow" I'd be employing a 7-3-1.
Forwards: Scheitele, Wheeler, Little, Perreault, Lowry, Ehlers, Armia
Defensemen: Trouba, Morrissey, Byfuglien
Goal: Hellebuyck
Notable Exempt: Laine(2), Connor(2), Roslovic (1), Poolman (1), Niku (1), Comrie (2), Lemieux (2), Stanley (0)
Notable Unprotected: Mason, Copp, Dano, Petan, Tanev, Kulikov, Myers, Chiarot, Morrow
UFA's: Stastny, Enstrom, Matthias, Hendricks
A shame expansion doesn't happen tomorrow. When it does our only notable exempt player currently under contract will likely be Stanley.
When the draft really occurs the Jets lose either one of the best young players in the league, or a leading veteran.
