Gents,
With the NHL expanding to Vegas, the NsHL will be doing so as well. The rules for this expansion are as follows:
1) The Vegas Golden Knights will be placed in the Pacific Division, and starting play in the 2018-2019 NsHL season.
2) Expansion draft protection lists are due to the commissioner no later than Sunday, July 1st.
All teams must protect 1 goalie, 4 defensemen, and 6 forwards. Teams will not be allowed to protect pending UFAs who are unsigned or pending RFAs not tendered qualifying offers.
Teams will NOT be required to protect players with NTCs.
Players age 24 and under, at the time of the draft, will be exempt. This means players age 23 and under during the 2017-2018 NsHL season.
3) Expansion draft results will be announced Saturday, July 7th. Vegas will select ONE player from each team (30 players). They must draft a minimum of 3 goalies, 9 defensemen, and 14 forwards. They must draft a minimum of 20 players under contract for the 2018-2019 NsHL season.
Vegas will have until July 31st to negotiate with any free agents selected in the expansion draft.
4) Vegas will be given the 3rd selection in each round of the 2018 NsHL Entry Draft.
