You haven’t had enough wild speculation about the 2017 NHL expansion draft yet, right? As the Dallas Stars and every other team prepares, every fan wants to know who’s protected, who’s traded, and which teams may have to expose better players.
Mike Heika discussed this with Stars fans in his Monday chat:
Simple math is some teams have protection problems and some do not. The Stars have no problem trading for a goalie that needs protection. Many teams have goalies they want to protect but cannot. That creates an opportunity for both teams.
