How do you see the Leafs using their protection? I did a quick list in my head and couldn't see it being an issue, but you likely follow the team closer than I.[/quote]
well we could do 4 defenseman considering a lot of our forwards are too young to qualify, but our three D are Rielly, Gardiner and Carrick, however this would leave some of our forwards unprotected,
I would be curious to hear other Leafs Fans Thoughts too[/quote]
im a leafs fan and first off i would do kapanen for pokka in a heart beat.
2nd pokka is a D idk why this has him protected as a forward. the one thing we need is defense and if Chicago came to us and offered this, i cant see Lou turning it down.
in terms of expansion protection, heres who i see us protecting (we dont have much t o protect cause all our young guys are exempt.)
forwards;
Kadri
JVR
Bozak
Komarov
Martin
Rychel/Holland/Brown (one of them not sure who. doesnt really matter)
defennse
Rielly
Gardiner
C. Carrick.
Goalie
Andersen
Exempt:
Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Soshnikov, Zaitsev, Kapanen, Dermott, Gauthier, Timashov, Lindberg.
