There will be plenty of trades and changes by the time the expansion draft rolls around, but as of now what does your team's expansion draft list look like?
I highly doubt Frederic or Senyshen play the amount of games to qualify to be eligible. Need to play 40 games. Unless I misunderstood the rules.Forwards: Bergeron, Pastrnak, Marchand, Coyle, DeBrusk, Kase, Smith
Frederic, Bjork and Senyshyn looking to prove they deserve to be protected over Kase/Smith.
Defense: McAvoy, Carlo, Gryz
Zboril and Lauzon looking to prove they deserve to be protected over Gryz.
I assume they re-sign Rask and keep him. If Vladar repeats last season in the AHL, could see him getting protected instead with Rask being exposed as a UFA.
Notable exempt: Studnicka, Vaakaneinen, Swayman
Notable exposed: Krejci (UFA), Zboril, Lauzon, Vladar, Ritchie, Bjork, Frederic, Senyshyn

Keep Weber That chip is worth a fortuneHabs.
Depends entirely on how the season goes. Danault could get re-signed, Drouin could get exposed
On D, it's pretty much set that Weber, Petry, and Chiarot are the ones being protected, in net Price is safe.
On forwards, id imagine it would be...
Gallagher
Danault
Toffoli
Andersen
Drouin
Kotkaneimi
Armia/ Lehkonen
I'd expose Drouin for cap savings though, Weber too (to plan for the future).
Habs will likely lose Juulsen or Fluery though. Hopefully not Juulsen, I'm still a big fan of his upside.
Seattle picks: Noah Juulsen

Seattle picks: Noah Juulsen
Juulsen would need to have a really good season for Seattle to pick him, because right now, his value is close to zero.
Right now, the most likely candidates to be picked are :
1- Lehkonen/Byron (whoever gets exposed)
2- Mete
3- Allen
4- Edmundson/Kulak
5- Juulsen/Fleury/Evans
Armia and Tatar will be UFA so I expect they will wait until after expansion draft to try to retain their services, unless one of them have a stellar year, in which case he would be protected over Lehkonen/Byron.
We are lucky to have our best youngsters exempt : Suzuki, Kotkaniemi, Primeau, Romanov and Poehling.

Armia is Ufa and Lekhonen is RFA the choice is obvious.Habs.
