With the NHL Expansion Draft now just a few heartbeats away, the deadline for protection lists is upon us. One by one, teams are submitting their slips with a look up to the heavens, hoping that some of the players they’ve had no choice to expose will remain on the roster once the Kraken have made their decisions.

The Philadelphia Flyers went with a 7-3-1 strategy.
Forwards: Claude Giroux, Kevin Hayes, Scott Laughton, Travis Konecny, Sean Couturier, Nicholas Aube-Kubel, and Oskar Lindblom
Defensemen: Travis Sanheim, Philippe Myers, Ivan Provorov, Ryan Ellis
