Management Who should the Bruins protect at the expansion draft?

[JoeIsAStud]

I honestly go 8-1

Bergeron
Marchand
Pastrnak
Hall
McAvoy
Carlo
Gryz
Krejci

Swayman

caveat: if Krejci or Hall aren't here at that time, sub in Lauzon

There is no reason to go 8-1 if you only protect 3 D.

Also, I believe they are required to protect Coyle, but I could be wrong

I'd do the 8 and 1: there aren't 7 forwards st this time that are must protects for me. You can leave Hall and Krejci off there- they are UFA and the Bruins would be mad to sign them before the expansion draft and use up a protection slot when they don't have to. So sub in Lauzon, and EDIT: Coyle, because he has a NMC and must be protected as @JoeIsAStud reminds us.

Honestly you are really underrating Ritchie's trade value.

Underrating?

Huh?

Bergeron
Marchand
Pasta
Smith
Coyle
Frederic

McAvoy
Grz
Lauzon

I don't think Carlo is ever going to be a reliable player. He has a glass jaw now and that condition never goes away.
Really hate to lose Jake, but if Cassidy is still coaching I don't think it's worth protecting a guy who is not going to fit in the system. However, I don't think Seattle will take him.
As someone stated earlier, there really isn't any player left unprotected that jumps out at Seattle. They probably take Zboril and hope he develops.

In your list, I can't imagine they pass on Carlo. Just seems far more valuable than anyone else unprotected. Yes the injuries may limit him, but not to the point where they would take ZBoril first.


Given the ability to protect 7, if I can resign Hall or Krejci before the draft I do it without any concerns. We have room to protect 2 more forwards, without really losing anyone of importance.

They would take Carlo and run

Jesus people if you’re going to put up a protected list, know the damn rules. And know who has to be protected and who doesn’t. All it takes is a little bit of effort and work.

No kidding…

Also I can’t believe people are leaving Swayman off of their lists! Have you seen him this year?? He looks awesome!

Underrating?

Huh?

Ritchie exposed and not taken...

I used the link to the Expansion Draft Simulator, but maybe I screwed up. Are only the players with a green check mark exposed?

Swayman is exempt.

players in green meet exposure requirements.
However if they have a NMC they must be on the protected list.
