In Lou We Trust, a New Jersey Devils community

Based on the writers' lists and the feedback in the comments to the linked post, I have come up with the protection list for the New Jersey Devils and submitted to SBN Hockey for the ensuing draft. Thanks for your feedback. For the sake of simplicity, here's who would be exposed. Needless to say, the mock expansion draft is a good way to clear some salary for some guy the Devils could be signing if the NHL ever allows it. Anyone not listed is protected and/or exempt: Unprotected Goaltender: Johan Hedberg Unprotected Defensemen: Bryce Salvador, Colin White Unprotected Forwards: Brian Rolston, Rod Pelley Full lists across the network will be out on Thursday, so Mock Expansion GMs Gabe Desjardins and James Mirtle can take a look at them all.

The first poll decided the cities for the mock expansion sites. Unfortunately, Winnipeg and Quebec City won. Neverthless, the cities now need names. There are 6 choices for each, go and pick one at the link. My favorites: The Winnipeg Mud and Quebec Citadels. This poll will close on Monday.
