Actually I don't think there is. could be wrong though.

There are 32 teams in the NFL but I can't tell if you're joking or not :confused:

sorry, I misread the post as asking about hockey leagues

Yeah actually I guess it could be read that way (and maybe makes more sense anyway?), and I have no idea if there are any over 30.

An expansion draft is going to be pretty different than the last one for two reasons:
-The salary cap and floor. The new team needs to spend 55m, and competitive teams might want out of the later years of a big, long contract (i.e. Rick Nash)
-Teams are deeper than two lines now. Bottom six are no longer just "checking lines" where guys who aren't good get put, and the decline of the goon has led to more opportunity for the second/third line tweeners who were once top-six-or-bust.

I think I read that they need to get to at least 48 million? But it's still a good point. Also, teams have to expose certain amounts of salary too

Vegas is only allowed to take one player per team, right?

Yeah they have to take exactly 1 from each team

The expansion draft should include coaching staff and GMs too
