Solves the problem doesn’t it?

Draft rules are different than just 10 games played

They are and include AHL experience, as well as other leagues. It's all there on the site if you want to read it.

I love how we go from praying that Staal retires to giving him an extension

or putting him on first pairing

I think we need clarification because I just read this where I see them list Hajek as exempt

I read that and I hope he's right but think he's wrong.

”First and second-year professional players and unsigned draft picks are not eligible for the expansion draft and won't need to be protected.”

Next year will be Lindgrens 2nd year, he can’t be exposed. Same goes for Hajek

Hajek and Lindgren are both exempt

From Sinbin following previous quote from GeneralFanager:

This is excellent news for Las Vegas as it should open up a number of players in the 20-22 year old range who only have one NHL season under their belt. Pretty much all players younger than 19 years old will be exempt, but including AHL, ECHL, and all other professional leagues will make most 20+ year olds eligible.

Hajek and Lindgren both turned 20 in 2018. 18-19 is first season. This is second. Next year is third.

That’s not true. 10 games counts as a season, they played less than 10 last year. AHL and other leagues dont count

If they just made Hank a healthy scratch every night - his competitive nature would get him to accept a trade. How much of his contract do we have to eat though? There is no way CO pays him $8.5M
- Greschnergy#4

I agree, Hank, no matter how much he loves NY is going to like sitting down every 4/5 games. His salary drops to 5.5mil next year. I honestly think he's going to accept a trade.

I've read the rules many times. I beat the drum that Georgiev didn't have to be exposed for months, which is no longer a debate. I think I'm right here, but sure as heck HOPE that I'm wrong.

Where's HB counsel Pete V? Pete, can we get an interpretation here!?

Huge loss for the Canes

James Mirtle:
But what’s clear is Toronto has inquired multiple times this season about New York Rangers goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, a 23-year-old who has quickly gone from undrafted free agent in 2017 to a promising prospect at the NHL level.

To date, the Rangers’ asking price has been high. They want a quality young player who can play now, not a pick or a prospect, for the young Russian netminder.

The result is a bit of a stalemate, as the Leafs (and other suitors) haven’t been willing to meet that price for a goalie who has only started 60 NHL games....

Both teams have kept trade talks quiet, so specifics are somewhat lacking. But it’s believed that the Leafs are willing to part with futures – including someone like AHLer Jeremy Bracco – in order to land Georgiev. The Rangers, however, are asking for more established players, presumably, the likes of Leafs forwards Kasperi Kapanen, Andreas Johnsson or Alexander Kerfoot.

That’s going to be a no-go for Toronto, especially in a 1-for-1 scenario. While the Leafs would potentially move a forward like that to upgrade on their blue line in the coming weeks, it doesn’t make much sense for them to give up one of their primary trade chips for a goaltender who may only play a handful of games for them the rest of the season...

Where adding Georgiev makes the most sense is as insurance for the future. The Leafs badly need an upgrade at the backup position next season and could also use an alternate option to giving Andersen a massive contract when he becomes a free agent at the end of 2020-21.

Given Toronto’s cap constraints, meeting Andersen’s asking price may not be wise. And he will be 32 years old by the start of the 2021-22 season, when a big new UFA deal would kick in.

It’s way early to try and forecast that Georgiev could replace Andersen, but he would at least give Toronto a viable option to fill some of the void in net if they opt not to re-sign their No. 1 of the past four seasons....

What hurts Georgiev’s value for a lot of GMs is the pending Seattle expansion draft in the summer of 2021. Teams will only be permitted to protect one goaltender, which makes a young backup a luxury few clubs want to give up an established player for. Goalies could be in abundance on the trade market in advance of the expansion draft, too, as teams attempt to get assets for players they’d otherwise lose for nothing.

It’s also still unclear what Georgiev’s ceiling is, especially compared to players like Kapanen and Johnsson, who both had 20 goals last season and have spent a lot of time playing in Toronto’s top six the past two years.

My guess is that the Rangers struggle to get anyone to meet their current asking price, which will leave them contemplating either carrying three goalies the rest of the season or accepting more of a futures package.

I think we are also both in agreement that we have to be prepared that we are probably going to lose someone decent, at that time we will have to take our medicine and move on. Just don't tie picks in the draft or the dumb crap the other teams did.

FFS Toronto, Anderson doesn't have a NMC, you can protect Georgie and leave Anderson exposed. Out of the guys listed I want kapanen. Kerfoot is already 25 and im not sure he gets much better.

Out of the forwards its Chytil I'm protecting.
- mdw7413

We should be able to protect most of our good forwards. Only guys that would be on the bubble IMO are Strome, Lemeuix, and Buch. If Strome keeps his play up, he will be protected for sure.

maybe they can negotiate with Strome to give him a NMC so he can be sure he wont go to expansion team in return for a relatively bargain rate cap hit
