How exactly will this work?
I did find something about goalies,
but what about players? Lets say there is 22yr old forward the team wants to keep and his contract is ending at the end of this year, and next year (2017-2018) he is a RFA. Could the team wait and sign him after the expansion draft basically circumventing the rules and getting 1 additional protected player?

One goaltender who is under contract in 2017-18 or will be a restricted free agent at the expiration of his current contract immediately prior to 2017-18. If the club elects to make a restricted free agent goaltender available in order to meet this requirement, that goaltender must have received his qualifying offer prior to the submission of the club's protected list
