WHO TO PROTECT IN EXPANSION DRAFT?

[blkhwkfn]

Ive done a lot of the footwork but trades change the landscape. Its still too far away to have a true gauge no matter what I did now.

Just going to sit back and let the season play out and put a final plan together at that time. After the reg season, we will see what needs to be seen.

true true plus 3 more weeks of trades i think (havent checked). I'm just trying to enjoy the seson and not look too far ahead.

There is still a full month of trading ahead. Time to make some calls.

Definitely. Expansion Draft will happen 1 wk before the 2017 August FNHL Contract Rollover period. So about 2wks before FNHL Free Agency starts, the FNHL Expansion Draft will take place publicly in an expansion draft thread.

So everyone's got liek 2.5 months to get their rosters ready for expansion draft exposure.

Update to this, there will be 2wks after the expansion draft to allow Vegas to move/trade players with the other teams to give them a chance to get ready for the 2017 Free agency period.
