[QUOTE="Joel Goodson, post: 1218297, member: 10432"] Here are the rules for the expansion draft: James Mirtle @mirtle ICYMI The rules for the NHL's 2017 expansion draft leaked out over the weekend [url]http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sport...ticle30400443/[/url] Las Vegas will be required to draft one player from every existing team, including at minimum at each position: three goalies, nine defencemen and 14 forwards. Some of the other parameters for an expansion team that were recently released to teams include: Teams cannot reacquire players they trade after Jan. 1, 2017 prior to Jan. 1, 2018. This is to prevent teams from entering arrangements to “hide” players from the expansion draft. There will likely be a lot more guidelines as part of this rule. Teams have to expose at least two forwards and one defenceman who have played either 40 games in the previous season (2016-17) or 70 games in the previous two seasons (2015-17). Teams can only lose a max of one player. The expansion team must select players that have a total value of between 60 and100 per cent of the 2016-17 salary cap. The expansion team can’t buy out anyone it picks in the expansion draft until the following off-season (2018). he expansion team will be given the same draft lottery odds as the team that finishes third last in the league and cannot pick later than sixth in the 2017 NHL entry draft. It’s possible the expansion team could end up with the first overall pick, if it wins the lottery. Teams must protect players that have no-movement clauses active in the 2017-18 season. No-movement clauses active in 2016-17 will have no impact. There will likely be exceptions made for players with no-movement clauses who are out with career-ending injuries (i.e. Ryane Clowe and Nathan Horton). Teams are not expected to be forced to protect those contracts. These guidelines are in addition to previously determined rules, the biggest of which was that all players with two years or less of pro hockey experience are exempted from the draft. Teams will have a choice between protecting seven forwards, three defencemen and one goaltender (11 players) or eight skaters and one goaltender (nine players). The second option allows for teams to protect four defencemen but forces them to expose three more forwards in order to do so. -------- Hawks are going to lose Pokka. Frigging sucks. [/QUOTE]
