Hurricanes Protection List for Expansion Draft Revealed

The Vegas Golden Knights are one step closer to assembling a team, as the protected lists for the upcoming NHL Expansion Draft have been distributed.
Of the options to protect eight skaters and a goaltender or seven forwards, three defenseman and one goaltender, the Carolina Hurricanes chose the latter. The team's protected list is as follows.

Defensemen
Goaltender
A number of players - Sebastian Aho, Noah Hanifin, Brett Pesce and Jaccob Slavin among them - were exempt from Expansion Draft exposure due to being first- or second-year pros. Yet unsigned draft picks were also exempt.
That means that the following Hurricanes players have been exposed for potential selection in the Expansion Draft.

The Vegas Golden Knights will select one player from each team for a total of 30 players, meaning one of the players listed above will no longer be a member of the Canes next season. Vegas' selections must include 14 forwards, nine defensemen and three goaltenders. The Golden Knights have until Wednesday, June 21 at 10 a.m. EST to make and submit their selections, and the full roster will be revealed in conjunction with the NHL Awards on Wednesday, June 21 at 8 p.m. EST.
