If they have to cough up $500 million - they should get decent stuff. The expansion draft is only the start. I understand they get a protected #3 overall pick for three straight years - starting next year. - winsix
They said that they get the same % as 3rd last team next year, and can drop no lower than 6th.
Haven't heard anything about guaranteed 3rd for 3 years.
Edit:
The expansion team will be given the same draft lottery odds as the team that finishes third last in the league and cannot pick later than sixth in the 2017 NHL entry draft. It’s possible the expansion team could end up with the first overall pick, if it wins the lottery |

I heard it on McCowan's show two days ago. The panel was surprised, but Bob was very insistent that LV gets the #3 for three years as part of the deal. They can't move up even if they finish last though - according to him. |

Really? Cool.
I honestly have no idea of its worth. I'm assuming not much.
Gonna hafta keep an eye out for it on eBay.

Generalfananger changed their expansions tool so that you don't have to just protect 7f3d1g to be able to protect any 8skaters and a goalie like the leak says. That should help team like minny who could protect their top 4d but then may lose a forward.
The issue is going to be with clb. They may be (frank)ed 4ways to Sunday. They have so many crappy guys on nmc (Foligno, Dubinsky, hartnall) eating up a protected space that they are for sure going to lose a significant piece. If they want to protect Murray and savard and Jones they don't have room for saad. If they want to protect saad they lose of of savard, Jones Murray.
Thank god the leafs aren't in a position where they are hampered by nmc.

Las Vegas expansion team is going to have good D and GK, but very mediocre offensive lines it seems.. - MaximusAurelius
Yea, not too many teams have that many game breaking forwards that they can't protect them all. |

According to GF, not even him.
They probably chose not to honour his NMC when they acquired him. |

Not required to be protected. Leafs one of a few that have zero protected. Everyone they protect will be their own choice, not forced becuase of nmc. - burn
I know - too bad his contract is uninsured, or LV might have picked him up to stay above the floor.

Doesn't his NMC become a limited NTC in July 2017, and that's why he doesn't require protection? |

Is there any clarity on potential 2nd expansion team?
If a 2nd team indeed would be added, Leafs would be pushing for expansion to take place for both teams after coming season instead of in 2-3 years from now...
Not sure what Seattle status is right now, but always seemed to be the best option with Las Vegas? |

By the way I´ve already indicated who Leafs will pick in first three rounds at draft, so you guys have to worry less..

I think you are right. Columbus knows that the answer to their problem has to involve trading one of their young Dmen plus a locked salary (e.g. Hartnell or Foligno) and not take back any asset that needs to be protected.
They can do a pretty good deal with a bunch of teams. For example, what could Edmonton offer up for Murray and Hartnell? If they offered the #4 pick, Columbus would be sitting with the #3 and #4 on draft day. I think we are going to see some spectacular deals around the draft. |
