Fwiw
If he keeps that play up I think the leafs protect him over Carrick.

Doubtful. If that happens I see them protecting 8 players instead of losing either one.

Especially after it's almost confirmed Willie doesn't need protection.

JVR
Kadri
Komarov
Bozak (If we don't trade him) or Brown/Rychel

Rielly
Gardiner
Marincin
Carrick

Andersen

Brown doesn't need protection.

I could see them exposing bozak if matthews is great, and leivo/rychel force their hand.

If it pans out that way I would agree but I thought Nylander's year in the ahl counted as a year of pro experience?

According to general fanager he does require protection.

Brills started a post in the trade thread, it showed some players like Mantha were, and it showed that Willie was not. Something about his age pushing the year back because technically he would still have been a junior player. Can't really remember why.

Yes, last I had heard he was going to be considered a 2nd year pro because he burned enough years to burn a year of his ELC in the NHL last year and he would be playing another pro-season this year.

Imagine the **** show on these boards if Leafs exposed Komarov. He's worth more than a mid-first to a quarter of the posters on this board.

People should prep themselves - there's a chance he may get exposed to protect guys like Connor Brown and Brendan Leipsic (if they are indeed eligible for expansion - wasn't quite sure on that....).

"– There was some concern about William Nylander given he played in the AHL the past two seasons, but the latest wording of the professional experience rule (as explained by Johnston) puts the Leafs in the clear with Willy. His 2014-15 AHL experience will not count as a season of professional experience as he was below the age of 20 and did not play 10 or more NHL games. His 22 games of 2015-16 NHL experience will count as a full season of professional experience, and so will his 2016-17 NHL season, but that puts him at two professional seasons come June, 2017."

Leafs can't sign a backup, or even put sparks on the active roster until cowen's situation is cleared up.

If they lose that, unless they trade someone, they have to wait until October to have a backup on the roster once Horton's LTIR'd.

Can't we go 10% over in the off season?
