Protection rules for the expansion draft;
a) Seven forwards, three defensemen and one goaltender
b) Eight skaters (forwards/defensemen) and one goaltender
Only player that is required to be protected is Frans Nielsen due to his NMC.

If you were making the Red Wing exemption list who would you protect?
*I don't believe Larkin is eligible
Forwards:
1. Zetterberg
2. Mantha
3. Nyquist
4. Tatar
5. Athanasiou (assume Wings qualify him)
6. Abdelkader (Only because of trade value, not a fan and will probably stop watching if they make him Captain)
7. Nielsen (Mandatory)
Defenceman:
1. Green
2. Marchenko (If he is eligible)
3. De Keyser (would prefer not to protect him cause his contract is awful)
Goalies:
1. Mrazek (despite Mrazek being awful and Howard great this season, I would still protect Mrazek as he is younger and think he has more upside)
