2017 Expansion Draft: The Coyotes Problem With The Expansion Draft

The Expansion Draft has been looming since June 22nd of last year. This year, on June 21st, we will see who will be going to Las Vegas to join the Golden Knights. There’s only one problem: the Coyotes barely have enough players to protect/expose in their system. In the link above, it will take you to CapFriendly.com, who has taken over since General Fanager was hired by Vegas.

The Coyotes could protect eight skaters versus three defenseman and seven forwards. Why? Because the Coyotes only have, at the moment, seven skaters who are available to be exposed.
