I'm protecting Sharp because we're doing it this year and I need him, but he's a UFA in the expansion year, and I would use that protection on Zucker instead. I'm not sure how we're playing this, but that'll effect my decision.


I'm very worried about my defense, I feel like I might lose one of them and unless it's Merrill (it won't be) that will very negatively effect my team :(

Also, according to the expansion tool, Howard is not an auto-protect, which I thought he was, so :toot:?

Why Carrick over Franson? That seems like an odd choice to me but I'm not seeing anything that says Carrick is a stud blue-chipper or anything

I thought about it for a while but Carrick is only 22, just signed a great contract, and has a really good CorsiFor% while Franson is approaching 30, is a UFA after this season, and is gonna get paiiiiiid

Well I mean in some kind of insane post fantasy draft expansion draft world I'd say yeah, it's not like these hypothetical teams would run around with like 24 contracted players for an entire year, dudes would get signed -- the expansion draft is in 2017.

e: it's kind of the same thing as going after someone like Versteeg. Euro players should be really be fair game unless it's a weird case like Kovalchuk. 99% of those guys would jump at a NHL contract if offered.

The point of setting limits on the number of protected players is obvious, whereas the point of enforcing limits on the number of exposed players when we have half as many contracts as most NHL teams is not so much.

I didn't draft my team with an expansion draft in mind, so I kinda get screwed if a few certain people get taken, but whatever this is fine and here's who i'd protect if I wanted this team to exist going forward


Marchand - Tavares - Ehlers (exempt)
Cammalleri - Brassard - Kucherov
MacArthur - Ribiero - Lee
Komarov - Cizikas - Condra

Streit - Tanev
Benn - Petry (NMC)
Mayfield - Pulock

Halak
Berube


just like my real team, my fake team gets screwed by Ryan Pulock being ineligible from being exempt despite almost no NHL service time

If Mark Streit got sniped from my squad in the draft I'd be pretty hosed as we don't have the space or contracts here for lots of depth and I also didn't draft with expansion in mind, so if I switched it up to do the 8 skater thing to avoid it I'd probably protect Marchand, Tavares, Kucherov, Brassard, Ehlers (still exempt), Tanev/Streit/Petry/Pulock, Halak. But exposing Anders Lee, Mike Cammalleri, and Mike Ribiero for Mark Streit's probable final NHL season doesn't seem like solid asset management

Mark Streit isn't going to be worth protecting at the end of this coming season in either our sim or real life.

i actually wasn't even thinking of it being after this next season, it was more of me expecting us to have a Vegas guy roll through and take someone from our teams now and have a team for this upcoming season. Even though that's not what is happening in real life. And in that case taking Streit off my top pairing with the only other defender in the system being an 18 year old Jake Bean would be bad for this year.

But Streit only really has 1 season left anyway so assuming random Vegas guy would be taking players for a team starting a year from now then yeah I would have no reason to protect Streit at all, as Jake Bean is a surefire superstar even at the age of 19 based off of being named Jake Bean

Im going to try and run a sim in EHM at some point, but were down to 2 techs at work (myself included) so Im going to be putting in probably 10+ hour days for the next 2 weeks. It will be a slow process, but hey we still have like 5 teams that arent full yet so maybe by the time I get there we will have that sorted out as well. :v:

I also thought it was a fantasy expansion draft for "this" year. It wouldn't be possible to do it a year off considering free agency and all that.
