VHL Expansion Draft Rules!

[Deleted]

If you have a goaltender (other than Price or the ELC guy) that is under contract for 2017-18, then he fits the requirement. Right now, you don't.

so, this means that i have to get a goalie just for the sake of exposing him in the draft?! that´s ridiculous. it doesn´t make any sense what so ever. if i´m able to protects both my goalies by the rules of the draft, than it´s stupid to force a team to sign a player just for the sake of exposing him in the draft.

You don't necessarily have to get a goalie since you've got Jared Coreau in the minors. Just have to sign him to a contract.

The entire point is to force teams to expose people. That is why the rules are there. If you cannot expose someone then you do not get to protect someone in that position. So, in your case you would need to expose one of Price or the ELC if you do not have a third to expose.

^ This is my understanding anyway as I assume we are doing this in the same way that the NHL is doing theirs.

that makes more sense than being forced to sign/add a player just so that he can be exposed for the draft.

This is why I signed Lindback and Stalock to 2 year deals in the off-season

The point is so that the expansion team has 30 goalies to choose from (minimum).

Technically, you'd have to expose Price, not the ELC goalie, otherwise.

I understand that but the rules also say that I can protect one goalie (price) and ullmark is not eligible so that eliminates both of my goalies. But on the other hand the rules also say that I have to expose one G. That forces me to either get a G that I don´t need or expose Price which is plain stupid.

all you have to do is sign coreau to a contract and expose him.
