One thing we should discuss is maybe they only get to select 1 goalie?

Because based on our protection rules, we can only protect one so why should an expansion team be allowed to pick two?

Here are the updated rules as they currently stand, change the goalies and a couple stipulations. Also updated the draft process to give the expansion teams 5th and 6th spots as they will be starting with a much better roster than the real life expansion teams:

Expansion Rules

Number of teams:
Adding 2 teams, divisions will be realigned based on what 2 teams are added.

Protection rules:
a) Seven forwards, three defensemen and one goaltender
b) Nine skaters (forwards/defensemen) and one goaltender
c) All 2015 & 2016 Draftees would be protected and not count against the protection limit. Additional 5 minor keepers. It is the responsibility of the keeping team to state the year and round in which the player was draft for 2015-2016 draftees.

Expansion Draft Process:
a) 17 round snaking draft (this would give these teams full rosters to play with)
          i) Of these 17 players, 9 must have contracts for the 2017-18 season
         ii) The expansion teams must select 10 forwards, 6 defense and 1 goalie.
b) No team may lose more than 1 goalie or a total of 2 major league players.
c) Expansion team takes on complete contract of the drafted player.
d) All current Backyard free agents are eligible with contract being equivalent to their real life contract. Free agents with no contract into the 2017-18 season can not be selected.
e) If an experienced minor leaguer is drafted, they are immediately placed on the expansion teams major league roster with a contract equal to their real life contract.
f) Expansion teams must remain cap compliant throughout the draft Under the maximum cap - currently $74m.

2017 Entry Draft:
a) The 2 expansion teams would receive the equivalent odds in the draft lottery as the combined odds of position 5th and 6th divided evenly by 2 teams. Current Backyard team finishing 5th would move to 7th, 6th to 8th and so on. (Lottery odds would be re-configured for the non-playoff teams)
b) Draft Lottery would take place after the 2017 Expansion draft.
c) Expansion teams draft picks are trade-able once trading opens for the 2017 season.
d) Teams receive a compensatory pick in the 2017 after the 5th round when a minor leaguer is selected from your team.

Division Re-Alignment/Playoff Structure:
Since we are going from 18 to 20 teams. The divisions would be re-aligned based on the team name selected by the expansion teams. We would move from 3 divisions of 6 to 4 divisions of 5.
Playoff structure would remain unchanged with 8 teams making playoffs but out of these 8, the top 4 would be division winners.

2017 Regular Season Schedule:
We currently have 22 week schedule for the 2016-17 season. The 2017-18 season is an Olympic year so I expect that we will have a shorter schedule. Ideally I would like everyone to play everyone but I think that is a pipe dream and divisional matchups are better.
Proposed schedule would be for a 20 week schedule:
~ 8 divisional games - 2 against each divisional team
~ 4 conference games - 1 against each opposite divisional team within conference
~ 8 inter-conference games - therefore we play every team.
Any additional weeks will add divisional games.

So during the expansion draft, will we only be aloud to select one player per team or will we be aloud to select more then one player from the same team. For example, I select two players from the flyers, thus, vegas cannot select a player from the flyers because they now lost 2 players.

Yep that is correct. No team can lose more than 2 major leaguers

Very interesting

Another question - so it looks like vegas is getting the better draft picks. Does this mean I will get first pick in the expansion draft?

We will have to do a lottery for both picks. The draft picks are there for the draft lottery only.

Can we start posting or list of protected players? So expansion teams can start their planning.
