ahhh... so basically the leafs can expose whoever they want to then
- Dozzer

Cause Loulams Said so.


Basically leafs have no issues with nmc forcing them to protect someone they don't want to. One of the few teams that can say that. Shouldn't be hurt by the draft much at all.

its called "stating the obvious"
- Dozzer

Tomato... tomahto...

I heard today that the League is looking at an exemption for players like Horton to not require protection. The ruling is still to be decided.

and all the first year guys are exempt as well right? they have to have two years of NHL/AHL experience if i am not mistaken?

Nope. Career ending injured exempt.

* Players with potential career-ending injuries who have missed more than the previous 60 consecutive games (or who otherwise have been confirmed to have a career-threatening injury) may not be used to satisfy a club's player exposure requirements, unless approval is received from the NHL. Such players also may be deemed exempt from selection by the League.

When they use the word "may" seems to be open for interpretation - would you agree?

Anybody else notice the "untouchable" and "trade Nylander because of how good he is" Jeremy Bracco has been massive poop since being dealt to Windsor?

Are there any rules in place to make trades with LV prior to expansion to guide them to pick up specific players?

Yup. He's looking more and more like D'Amigo

Btw....where's Denis Smirnov going to fall draft wise? Big #'s as a 19 yo in the NCAA, after two solid USHL seasons.

First and second year pro exempt.


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).

GO LEAFS GO!!!!

No. Zaitsev exempt.

Yeah. The basic argument seems to come down to who we expose of rychel, komarov, martin, bozak, leispic and leivo.

I say (frank) it. Acquire a 4th dman and expose all those guys.

the leafs really did set themselves up pretty sweet for this huh?

i'd hate to see rychel go since he's family... but at the same time he'd likely be able to finally get a shot at being an NHL regular in vegas....

The way he;s playing now, I'd rather him and Lipstick poopdisturbing opposing teams than Martin and Komarov. I know you feel vets need to stay, but both Rychel and Lipstick are pains in the asses to play against
