The Toronto Maple Leafs will have lose a good player in the expansion draft, but the decision on who to protect is actually pretty easy.

As you probably know, the Toronto Maple Leafs can protect either four defenseman and four forwards, or you can expose a top-four defenseman and keep three extra forwards.

In both cases the Leafs can protect Jack Campbell and since Freddie Andersen is a UFA he doesn’t matter.
