Indians since you trade Ekman Larrsson and Hertl they are on Carolina's protection list.

I think you mean to protect McCabe who you received in the deal.

You have Gaudreau occupying Hertl's protected spot

Still open to further trades with this great group of GMs

I can get behind that, I would not claim anything you didn't want. Let the league rule on forcing your hand, I feel confident your logic prevails.

Hopefully there are few rosters built up just for the expansion draft.

I recognize your efforts policing the expansion draft a bit more yourself, it was a challenge and you stepped up. PPG and PR are up to the task of making this a great expansion effort. Good Luck and happy shopping

I have some recommendations from my team that you maybe weren't thinking about - Van Reimsdyk sounds like a Knight am I right?
