I guess you could say this is a challenge. Probably more for myself than anyone else but feel free to take part. What I am going to do is get rid of players on each of the 31 teams who will most likely not be protected during the expansion draft. Once I've done that I will call up players in the minors or sign players likely to join the teams. I'm allowing myself 1 free agent signing of a player not on the team already and won't allow myself to choose that same player for the other 30 teams. The likelihood of the players in free agency being resigned will not be accounted for. Anyone who is a free agent from the team will also be resigned unless they won't be protected in the expansion draft with one exception from each team. Once I finish this challenge with all 31 teams I would do a quick reflection to see how these teams look. As for 30 of the teams players will be sent to Vegas, but when I eventually do Vegas I will send the players on there to Anaheim.

I did this before free agency began but didn't stick with it so I'm trying this again for the following season.

Protected Players: Jakob Silfverberg, Rickard Rakell, Brandon Saad, Danton Heinen, Troy Terry, Isac Lundestrom, Max Jones, Cam Fowler, Hampus Lindholm, Josh Manson, John Gibson
Signed Prospects: None
Exception: Sam Steele
Free Agent: Brandon Saad. He isn't the greatest forward on the market but he is pretty flexible to what lines he could play on and might fit the mold pretty well.

Comtois, Drysdale, and Zegras are exempt from the rules.
