What might a 2017 NHL Expansion Draft look like?
NHL expansion is coming whether we like it or not -- personally, I'm pretty excited about it -- and with it will be an expansion draft that will at least in some way affect every single team in the league.
We haven't seen one of these since 2000 when the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild entered the league, and that was before the salary cap was a thing so things are considerably different now. But at the NHL general managers meeting in Florida today, some details leaked out about just how an expansion draft might look.
