I feel this is deserving a separate thread.
As I understand it, if Myers plays in the AHL this year then he would be exempt from the NHL Expansion since he would be a second year player when it happened. I may be wrong.
The biggest issue the flyers face is how to protect 4 defensmen in the expansion draft. In order of importance, they must protect provorov, ghost, sanheim and Myers.
The forwards they must protect in order of importance are patrick, couturier, konency, giroux, voracek and the rest are expendable as far as I'm concerned.
If I am right about Myers, I think he could be a victim of the expansion draft and have to play another year in the AHL to be exempt. If I am wrong about Myers, I could see jake traded or a d traded for an exemption player.
Paranthetically, someone in another thread said frost might not make the team in part because if he did they flyers would need to protect him in the expansion draft .
