Yes, but must leave at least one goalie exposed who is contracted in 2017-18 or who is an RFA according to NHL rules I feel like this is an easy one to scrap. If we just go contracted or RFA everyone will just sign a 500k guy to first contract to have him be an RFA or sign a 500k guy to a 2 year deal. You can protect one goalie per team easy enough. Or we can go the other goalie has to be contracted but don't think that's a difference maker and probably easier to just simplify this one.

we have more than 30 useable goalies so no matter what the new team will have a useable goalie or 3. In fact new team might have best goaltending depth in the league.

So just say each team can only protect one? I definitely wouldn't allow more than one to be protected

I'm for that. Also we should determine what breakdown of 30 picks should be. Would we allow 5 picks to be goalies? good trade bait but not sure if realistic.
I'd suggest 18 forwards 10 D and 2 goalies. Gives 6 forward lines 5 D pairs and their goalies.

NHL rules say that Vegas has to select 14 forwards, 9 defensemen and 3 goalies so I guess the other 4 can be any position

Do we know if the draft will happen before offseason trades are opened up in the NHL. Might be more interesting if draft happens right when cards come out before trade window opened so any moves to protect guys need to happen before the trade deadline in season. I know personally if a guy has a good card I know will be taken in the draft that can't be protected I'd trade him for whatever I can get in the offseason and not sure if that's fair to the new franchise.

I just did a mock protected list from my team. I have 18 players that are ineligible to be selected and going by the 7 forwards, 3 Defenseman and one goalie rule, I would be exposing 9 forwards, 3 defensemen and 2 goalies as of right now

I am pretty sure that we want to cap goalies selected as part of this process at 2. I think making them pick 16 forwards and 10 d men with the last two skaters being at their discretion.
Once we have these rules finalized (and I think we are pretty close), I will put a view on the team pages that will show exempt/non exempt players so guys have an idea how they are looking. I will also put something there to show if they have enough assets to be in compliance with guys to expose as well.

I definitely think the exposure limits may be tough for some teams but I also think we need to have them to allow the expansion team to be somewhat competitive and also to keep the 30 other teams honest in the process. Especially the goaltenders, everyone should have to expose what the NHL calls for so that we don't create too many loopholes.

It won't be hard for any team to expose one of them can even sign a goalie they know will never play to a 500k contract. I think that just adds one more rule when it is simpler to just say each team can protect 1 goalie. As I pointed out before Goalie is the one position where they are almost guaranteed to be competitive almost at an advantage as there are more than 30 good goalies

Correct, but if we don't set exposure limits, it's too easy for a team to protect their only good goalie, make managers work for it. No liberal mentality;D every team is going to lose an NHL player and that might be a goalie, it might be a 3/4 Defenseman that you don't want to lose, it might be that grind it out 3rd line winger that makes your team better and in some cases it might be a top 6 guy who's a RFA that you just can't protect

I'm not even sure we have a team in the GHL with only one big league contracted goalie on the roster anyway.
