Hi,

my name is Toni, im from Croatia and need your help. Im playing with idea, what if there were Expansion draft and i need your help.

Now, here is scenario. What if there is expansion draft for new NHL team, so Ducks must protect either up to five defensemen, nine forwards and one goaltender; or up to three defensemen, seven forwards and two goaltenders.

Rules are:

Each club must expose for claim at least the following players who meet the experience requirements indicated below:

ONE GOALTENDER: For clubs protecting one goaltender, no experience requirement. For clubs protecting two goaltenders, either 10 NHL games played in the last season or 25 NHL games played over the last two seasons

ONE EXPERIENCED DEFENSEMAN: Either 40 NHL games played in the last season or 70 NHL games played over the last two seasons. Games played include regular season and playoff games.

TWO EXPERIENCED FORWARDS: Either 40 NHL games played in the last season or 70 NHL games played over the last two seasons. Games played include regular season and playoff games.

Players who are exempt from the Expansion Draft are all first and second-year pros. I already erased them.

So, players who are on the list for protecting or exposing are:

F:

Teemu Selanne, UFA

Corey Perry,

Ryan Getzlaf,

Bobby Ryan,

Saku Koivu,

Andrew Cogliano,

Niklas Hagman, LW, UFA

Nick Bonino,

Matt Beleskey,

Jason Blake, UFA

George Parros, UFA

Rod Pelley, UFA

Jean-Francois Jacques, UFA

Ryan O'Marra, UFA

Mark Bell, UFA

D:

Cam Fowler,

Lubomir Visnovsky,

Luca Sbisa

Francois Beauchemin,

Sheldon Brookbank, UFA

Toni Lydman,

Nate Guenin,

G:

Jonas Hiller

Dan Ellis

Jeff Deslauriers

If you were Ducks GM who would you protect and, in your opinion, who would be best pick for new team.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english :-D
