The teams must leave unprotected at least two forwards, one defenceman and one goalie who is under contract for next season and who played at least 40 games this season or 70 games over the last two seasons. Players who have two or fewer seasons of experience are exempt from this process.

To give fans a chance to test their choices against those of the general managers from their favourite teams, we’ve created a set of forms below to allow you to set a protected list for each of the seven Canadian teams. We also would like to know which player you believe the Golden Knights will select off your favourite team’s roster.

In the forms below, you’ll be able to scroll through the questions to see which sets of players are eligible to be exposed to meet the stipulations listed above. Which of your four best defencemen will you be willing to part with? Which forward won’t make the cut on your list? Will you sacrifice two forwards to keep an extra defenceman?

Fill out as the forms for as many teams as you like. At the end of the week, we’ll share the crowdsourced answers.

If you would like to go a step further in expansion draft experience, CapFriendly has an excellent tool to allow users to select protected lists for all 30 teams and to draft a new Vegas roster.
