Expansion Draft on Spotrac

There's a neat thing on Spotrac now ... "Expansion Draft" tool. It's in beta but it goes through current rosters or you can customize team's protected players .Might be fun to play around with as the time grows near.

There's a lot of money coming off the books before this projected season so rosters will look a lot different, anyway have at it!

Zags guys
Sabonis - this will be on his next contract
Nembhard maybe!
Holmgren is a long shot

Expiring deals in that first season would be nice I'll think about it more

When Charlotte got an expansion team they started them off on a reduced cap, to stop them buying up all the free agents. Will be interesting to see if that happens again. They did also give them the #4 pick for their first year though.

How does the expansion draft work? How many players do the other teams get to protect? Does the expansion team still have to worry about salary cap when selecting those non-protected players?

If memory serves, they get to protect 8 players. As far as cap, I'm sure that will factor into it in some way as not having to abide by it wouldn't make any sense.
