FROST WARNING in effect
I actually hadn't thought of that. The upcoming ED really changes the landscape.
One other thing not being discussed is, if Frost does make the team this year, that will make him eligible for expansion draft in 2 years.....yea maybe give him another season in the O.

That's not correct. Ehlers played in the NHL and 15-16 and 16-17, was still exempt from the 2017 expansion draft.

Yeah, I'm kind of expecting to lose something important at the ED
Giroux, Couturier, Konecny, Patrick, vanRiemsdyk, Lindblom, Voracek (7)
Provorov, Gostibehere, Sanheim/Morin/Myers (3)
Hart (1)
It's going to be brutal. Laughton, Hagg, Sandstrom, Rubtsov, Vorobyev, 2 of Sanheim/Morin/Myers, and a number of others will be open.
That considered, we're going to lose one of Sanheim/Morin/Myers. We're going to lose the 2nd best of the 3.
Honestly think JVR gets exposed.Yeah, I'm kind of expecting to lose something important at the ED

The way the NHL worded it was needlessly confusing, but it's actually more than 2 pro seasons. And those seasons have to have been played after the player turned 20 to count.
So Hagg was exempt despite having played 3 AHL seasons, because the first year was his 19 year old season.

K so expose JVR. Who do you keep instead of him? Vorobyev, Laughton, Rubstov?
There's no reason to expose JVR if there are no forwards better than him in the long-run. Unless Laughton beats out JVR/Lindblom on the wing or Vorobyev/Rubstov beat out Frost for 3C, this is a non-issue.
You could, but really unless we sign someone to take JVR's place, it's not coming from anywhere internal that we're going to have an issue.
And it doesn't give us another defensman to protect...
So if you're just dangling him as bait...then why are you dangling him? At that point if he's that important you don't dangle him, or if you are, it's because he's less important than one of your defensemen you're hoping to keep...which, if he isn't, then Seattle will take the defensman and you are left with JVR anyway.
So yeah...JVR exposed/not exposed doesn't matter.
As it stands, only Laughton, Hagg, and Sanheim will be eligible for the ED. Lindblom is probable.
I doubt that the Flyers would protect JVR.
So it's more like...
Giroux, Couturier, Konecny, Patrick, Lindblom, Voracek, ??? (6/7)
Provorov, Gostibehere, Sanheim (3)
??? (0/1)
