You didn’t list Nathan Horton as one of Toronto’s “Potentially Protected”, was that an accidental omission or is he exempt because of his injury status?
natebrown
Yes, it is due to his injury. He is listed under the NMC portion because of it. Cleveland expounded on that in her article as well.

Why wouldn’t McDavid or Mathews need protection?
Gavin Lee
As first or second year pros, they’re exempt from the draft.

Oh ok, thank you. I’m more of a casual hockey fan, so I haven’t looked too closely into the draft rules yet. Baseball is more of my thing.

Any player on a rookie contract does not need to be protected in the draft. Rookie contracts are either 2 or 3 years long, depending on the age when the player signed the rookie contract. Thus, players like McDavid, Matthews & Laine don’t need to be protected

Thanks.

Pick up bobby Ryan,Tomas Plekanec and Marc Methot for veteran presence. Then scoop Marc dano, de la rose for some young blood and take sbisa and stajan for fillers and you got yourself decent team. Prob get flurey as your goalie. Not bad for G’knights
