It should be released in the end, and if it isn’t, it will probably be leaked.

It’ll be the next big release on WikiLeaks.

Haha. Honestly hope that happens

As a fan, I would like to see who gets exposed and who doesn’t. I only really care about who my favorite team decides to expose, but it is interesting to see which players from other teams might be exposed. But considering the player/team relationship impact, I 100% agree it shouldn’t be released. Honestly couldn’t care what the GMs think about it but if the players are against the list being released, then I’m fine with the list being completely hidden. I agree with @theeterps though. Somebody will leak it. Whether its the full list or a couple of “big name” players who are exposed, it will definitely happen at some point.

True, it is hard to argue if the players request that the list remain secret. But you have to think that every borderline protectable/exposable player should be selected in the draft, and the leftovers are players that know they wouldn’t be protected anyways.

How badly do the players not want the list released, really? They know teams can’t protect everybody.

I mean, players have been signing contracts with full knowledge that teams were signing them to be able to protect someone else.

Exactly!

The only reason that would actually make sense is if they want to be able to tell the next group to pony up $500 million “no, no, Vegas just made some odd choices, don’t worry, you’ll get a bunch of good players.”
