Can anyone explain what a protected list is in the WHL, i'm not familiar. I'm surprised they dont have to go through a draft, I wasn't aware teams could do that, and also surprised that Stefan can play for Portland because i don't believe he is from the WHL's region.Does anyone have info on Jack O'Brien from the Little Caesers program? 03 that signed with Portland and according to this interview was an NTDP potential player
