Pretty sure Nielsens NMC becomes a M-NTC this summer, So he can be left unprotected.Nielsen - no choice, NMC
Zetterberg - If he's not LTIRetired, do the red wings dare expose him and risk that he retires if selected?

AA - unless he signs a big contract and flops
Mantha - Ditto
Larkin - Ditto

Defense

I'd protect Dekeyser, probably. But who cares?
Goalie
Who cares?
Makes sense DDK would only have 2 years left on his deal, I would definitely expose him.Custance did one of these recently, left dekeyser exposed.
I think we should protect Dahlin
Yeah pretty sure Dahlin wouldn't need to be protected, He'd be in a similar deal as Larkin. Pretty sure it has to be at least 3 years of Professional play and he'd only have 2 years.Wouldn't Dahlin not have to be protected? 2020
Drafted in 2018, rookie in 2019, Not need to protect by 2020.
I understand what you're saying, but he doesn't need a protection slot.
I mean Toronto didn't need to worry much about the expansion draft this time. When most of your good players are in their first 3 years as pros you have an easy expansion draft. Guys like Rasmussen, Hronek, Cholowski, Saarijarvi and our '18 picks will be exempt. Now whether any of those kids turn into protection worthy players anyhow is another matter.
