Easier to deal with the cap during the off season.

Once again... cap blogs + you right (frank)ing now.

And yes a team will give fair value to compete with all the other teams trying to improve.

Bergevin is actually in a very good position for the expansion draft... He only has 2 D's to protect so he can easily take on a 3rd one with term

I thought the expansion draft included RFAs? Or is that not the case and they can exploit that by having him sign after the draft?

So, question:

Yes.

They must take up a spot on the protected list unless the player agrees to waive and be exposed.

Anyone with no contract doesn't require protection
