Mailbag: Expansion draft, Klein/McIlrath/Skjei and the defense

Two questions this week. As always, submit your questions using the form on the right, and we will answer them in our weekly mailbag.

asfjr asks: With the possibility of expansion coming in the next 2 or 3 years, what rules are there for protecting players with NMC/NTC? Say expansion happens after the 15/16 season, would the Rangers be required to protect Marc Staal since he will still have an NMC, but still be able to expose Dan Girardi since he will only have an NTC?

Now this is an interesting question that I simply can’t answer right now.
