26 of the 28 teams existing in the league at the time of the draft were each allowed to protect either one goaltender, five defensemen, and nine forwards or two goaltenders, three defensemen, and seven forwards. The Atlanta Thrashers and Nashville Predators had their entire rosters protected, as they were the two newest franchises in the league, only being in existence for one and two years respectively.
For teams protecting only one goaltender, there was no experience requirement for those left unprotected. For teams protecting two goaltenders, each goaltender left unprotected must have appeared in either 10 NHL games in the 1999–2000 season or 25 games in the 1998–99 season and 1999–2000 seasons combined. A goaltender had to be in net for at least 31 minutes in each game for the game to be counted against these totals.
At least one defenceman left unprotected by each team had to have appeared in at least 40 games in the 1999–2000 season or 70 games in the 1998–99 season and 1999–2000 seasons combined. At least two forwards left unprotected by each team had to have met the same requirements.
52 players were chosen in the draft, two from each participating franchise. Only one goaltender or one defenseman could be selected from each franchise. Both the Blue Jackets and the Wild were to use their first 24 selections on three goaltenders, eight defensemen, and thirteen forwards. The final two picks for each team could be any position.
True enough, and I won't even lie: I do like the forwards quite a bit. PP could be absolutely humming if something like that was in play - AllInForFlyers
I know it was Germany, but damn that guy has a cannon.

so they can have Vinny umberger amac no problem !!
Can't lose him for nothing. If he does get awarded those type of figures trade deadline bye bye. Take into account schultz is paid Canadian. The actual value is below what it would be for mdz.
Problem is if vinny sits, he doesn't meet the 40 game qualification.
Have to play him. - nails
Despite all of Vinny glaring opportunities and diminishing skills I still find it hard to say that umberger and journey players vv bellemare and white are significantly better players than him. He still has a lethal shot which is why I don't understand why berube never ran set ups for him to be in the slot and let them rip. Now I'm not seeing he's worth top line minutes but if used more effectively he can produce better than umberger can.

No one is going to take a useless old fart like Vinny in an expansion draft anyway. Why take him when you can get a Raffl, Read, PEB or White type. If every team is giving up two players I don't see how anyone would choose Vinny.

There will have to be store openings he can help out with, right?

I could let him walk for 4+ mil. I'd have to see a full solid season from him before I'd consider that type of salary.

The trouble is, all that Vinny has is a shot. He's bad at puck possession, he's not a good two way player, he's slow, he's not physical.
Those other guys, at least the Bellemares, VandeVeldes and Whites bring more to the table in a bottom six role. If Umbgerger is fully healthy, he probably does as well

Do it for one season and deal him for picks at the TDL. What does it matter this season, Flyers aren't likely to be a contender or need space for a deadline addition

That's a good point I was leaning the other way, but why let a possibly valuable trade chip go for nothing without truly needing the cap space. Just hope the arbitration doesn't put us over the cap ceiling.

I see what you're saying and I thought about just that, but I wouldn't want to set a bad precedent for myself for the future. He just didn't perform well enough consistently to earn that kind of salary yet.
Now if Hextall could move a salary (AMac/LSchenn) or two between now and the hearing, maybe I'd reconsider it. Otherwise, I'd offer Trevor Daley numbers.
Jesper fast and jt miller signed for under a million per
Nice to know the Rangers 4th liners skating circles around us will make about half of what we're paying vinny to munch on gourmet popcorn in the Shelley suite
Yeah. At this time next year, it's a fair chance that Luke Schenn and Umberger are gone, which just leaves us with the horror of Wheels to deal with
And really, almost every team has one horrific contract
The Flyers just need to figure out how to make it so MacDonald plays 17-18 minutes a night and doesn't look like he should be getting scratched -- if he does that, then at least you're getting something out of him - AllInForFlyers
MacDonald isn't a player you're just hoping to get something out of. He's a much better player that that. He should be playing around 20 minutes a night in a top 4 role

He hasn't but, I'm not willing to let an asset go for free. I figure he's going to get at least $3mm in arbitration, if not more, so I'm OK with a 1 year deal for $4mm and unless he comes in and plays fantastic, then move him at the TDL.
