Dorion still thinks MacArthur is exempt from expansion draft, I wouldn't be so sure.
Terminating his contract is only in Sens interest. I doubt Lulea and Jaros will go there.
He is exempt?

I don't get it....if Macarthur was eligible, wouldn't he be on this list?
The point of that rule is that we need pick at least 2F to expose from that list. We already can expose two of Ryan, Burrows, Smith but most likely we'll sign Dzingel and Pyatt in the next couple of weeks to add to it.
MacArthur is eligible to be taken because he came back from his "potential career-ending injury" that could've made him exempt.
He has to have played a certain number of games in the last two years to meet exposure guidelines, I thought.
The rule says:
* 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.

So I guess he isn't exempt becuase he came back meaning it wasn't consecutive.

How the hell is there so much confusion around exposure requirement and protection eligibility this close to the draft. This should not be something people are guessing at. Another major flub by fumbling Bettman
Well the way that is worded makes it seem like he cant be exposed (or taken).. " (or who otherwise have been confirmed to have a career-threatening injury)"
He is confirmed to have a career-threatnening injury.
The players include forwards David Bolland and Craig Cunningham and defenceman Chris Pronger of the Arizona Coyotes, Buffalo Sabres forward Cody McCormick, winger David Clarkson of the Columbus Blue Jackets, winger Johan Franzen and centre Joe Vitale of the Detroit Red Wings, New Jersey Devils winger Ryane Clowe, New York Islanders centre Mikhail Grabovski, Pascal Dupuis of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and winger Nathan Horton and blueliner Stephane Robidas of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Ballpark how many games of his have you watched? Five or six?
Awesome news. He's going to be a vital part of the defense core in a few seasons.
