We all know that an expansion is coming in the NHL.
With the new divisions, it is now obvious we will eventually have 2 new teams.
The last time the NHL had an expansion, they added 2 teams in 2 years.
They will probably use the same process this time around.
In 1998, it was NASHVILLE
In 1999, it was ATLANTA
And as reported by different medias, it seems like we would add a new team
sooner rather than later (to balance the new division)...meaning next summer.

The rules was the following:
Each franchise was allowed to protect either one goaltender, five defensemen, and nine forwards or two goaltenders, three defensemen, and seven forwards.
Let say the NHL repeat the exact same process next summer.....
Which Habs players would you protect if it would go down the same way as it did in 98-99?
And do you think, in a cap world, the same process will apply?
