Really nice, solid, intelligent work. I think any different conclusions about who's going to be protected or selected can be accounted for by personal preference.
You're bang on with my two crummy local teams; although personally I wouldn't protect Manson, the Ducks probably will.
Everyone has Seattle selecting McCann from Pittsburgh in their mock expansion draft. It would be crazy if Hextall left him exposed. I believe that they SHOULD and hopefully will protect: Letang, Dumoulin, Pettersson, Jarry, Crosby, Malkin, Guentzel, Rust, Kapanen, McCann, and one of Tanev, Blueger, and ZAR. They should leave Zucker exposed. Worst case, Seattle selects him and Pittsburgh has cap space going into the offseason. I as a Pens fan am going to be pissed if they don't protect McCann.
Interesting, I always though Zucker was the better player

Honestly even if he isn’t the best I think they should protect him cuz some old fart of a gm will value him highly in a trade because he’s big and plays RHD

Well consider their current stats:
Zucker
Age: 29, Salary: 5.5 million (3 yrs including current left, UFA), currently 8 pts/20 games
McCann:
Age: 24, Salary: 2.94 million (2 yrs including current left, RFA), currently 17 pts/25 games
McCann is younger, cheaper, and is an RFA at the end of his contract. Maybe they protect both and leave Blueger, Tanev, and ZAR exposed idk, but I personally think that it would be dumb of them to leave McCann exposed since I don't think he is the least valuable asset of these 5 players.

Yeah that’s fair, if GMJR were still in he would probably protect him considering what he gave up to get him but since he’s not u could be right
