SBN Mock Expansion Draft - Protected List

Giguere will go to the Nords in the Top 10 rounds, while MacArthur will land in Winnipeg by round 25.

Interesting—I take it from Zigomanis being on the list that you interpreted the rules that you HAD to protect 9-5-1. IIRC they said “may”.

If you had interpreted it as “may”, would you have exposed Zigomanis? I assume you protected Zigomanis over MacArthur because of a requirement to expose players with certain experience thresholds.

for the Leafs.

I (and I imagine almost everyone else) had the exact same list (although I didn’t protect Zigomanis, I guess just to get to 9 protected fwds).

Funny though, many of us (including myself) bitched about overpaying Armstrong as a UFA, and that he won’t live up to his contract.

Yet MacArthur, at only 1.1M, has a much better chance of being an “efficient” contract.

Yet, we leave MacArthur exposed and Armstrong protected…. interesting. The skill difference is there, but is it worth the price tag?

After I finished studying yesterday, I perused other sites to see who they were protecting.

Then I got to Pittsburgh’s site, where they decided they were going to fake sign Shane Hnidy so that they could protect Goligoski.

Way to stay within the spirit of the exercise, Pensburgh.

Anyone remember the last expansion draft back in 2000?

The Leafs lost Kevyn Adams when they decided to protect Khristich – one of those rare moves that all Leaf fans and the media agreed was folly.

There was a lot of hullabaloo over whether the team should protect Bryan Berard, who suffered that awful eye injury. Don’t remember whether or not they did…I also recall, and I could be really wrong here, that the Leafs left Wendel Clark unprotected but he was injured and/or UFA and/or retiring.

He has played less than 50 games. Is there a special rule for goalies?

Before this turned into “Burn the Sens fan for suggesting Giguere has value”, what I really wanted to know was could both goalies have been protected for the price of one.

The question was more about the details of the SBN rules, than whether or not Giguere should be dumped.

Can I rephrase my question to, “Does Anaheim have to expose Hiller, or are they allowed to expose an inexperienced goalie, or even no goalie?”
