As I understand the rules to this point a team can expose any eligible player they want but they are required to ensure that at least four of them meet certain contractual and on ice requirements. I think this is consistent with previous expansions.
Yes, the minimum is 2F, 1D with 40/70 games played and 1G with contract or qualifying offer. But that doesn't mean that all others are exempt, only exempt are players with less than 3 pro years. And then there are UFA Vegas can sign as a draft choice too.
While teams have to expose the minimum (perhaps signing and/or trading for players to fit those needs), it's more telling which players are protected (1G, 3D/7F or 8S).
