Hall looks disengaged, NS • Canada • 28 Years Old • Male
Las Vegas' expansion team will be picking from the unprotected lists of each team. If precedent says anything, they'll also likely pick 1st overall in 2017.

Here's a rules refresher (courtesy of General Fanager):
- Teams can protect 7F, 3D and 1G, OR 8 Skaters and 1G
- Players with NMC must be protected.
- 1st and 2nd year professionals and unsigned picks are exempt from selection.

and a whole lot of stipulations for Las Vegas' new GM, with one big one:
- The Las Vegas franchise must select one player from each presently existing club for a total of 30 players

It's July 1st. We've just traded Hall and signed Lucic, and this list may be different by the day's end. But if I had to lock it in today, the Oilers will protect the following players from LV in an expansion draft:

RNH
Eberle
Drai
Lucic

Sekera
Larsson
Klefbom
Reinhart

Talbot

Notables available:
Pouliot
Yakupov
Khaira
Fayne
Davidson

Thoughts? It'll be interesting to see how this changes over the year.
