Paul McCann: First Look at the Protected/Unprotected Lists

Aberg is exposed. I hope they don't deal to keep Neal, he could be cheaper at trade deadline than is now, and if they do deal, they still lose Smoth or Wilson.

Hoping for Smith I guess?

Keeping Jarnkrok over Neal is very smart GMing

I don't think so, he and Granberg are exposed.[/img]

100% correct! But neither should be of concern for the expansion draft.

I agree lol but I like Pontus as top 9 option.

Taking Neal would be the right move. A new team needs names and excitement. Neal's shot and scoring ability would be huge. Top line winger. I don't know what kind of deal could be struck that McPhee would go for.
