you bet

Does it have to be 3 defenseman? I thought it was some weird formula.

Jan will come back with an answer shortly, but as far as I know this is the rules:
a) Seven forwards, three defensemen and one goaltender
b) Eight skaters (forwards/defensemen) and one goaltender
* All players who have currently effective and continuing "No Movement" clauses at the time of the Expansion Draft (and who to decline to waive such clauses) must be protected (and will be counted toward their club's applicable protection limits).
* All first- and second-year professionals, as well as all unsigned draft choices, will be exempt from selection (and will not be counted toward their club's applicable protection limits).

*unless the player agrees to waive.

so heres the question.

Option A: Buyout Girardi and deal with the dead cap space which is big for 2 years a believe

Option B: Package him with lets say Hayes for example and not retain salary and receive idk... a 2nd and 4th

what do you jabronis do?

Unless they're expiring on July 1st of 2017. Teams are exempt from having to protect those players.

I'm trying to figure out if the team stays the same, Hank,Staal, Girardi, Stepan? ?will have to be protected.

as of right now, if they were forced to protect McDonagh, Staal and Girardi as their 3 defensemen, it would leave Klein and McIlrath as the two guys they could lose

not the end of the world really, but that's one of the reasons they should trade Klein now
