Expansion Draft (Hypothetical, OT)

This is pretty simple, and hopefully it will be a fun discussion during the lockout. If there were to be an expansion draft, what 8 players from your roster would you protect?

The rules:
1. Unrestricted free agents are not available to an expansion team to draft.
2. Unsigned draft picks are not available for the expansion team to draft.
3. Restricted free agents are available.
4. Each team must have at least one player unprotected, so if team x had 8 players under contract and 4 that were UFAs, it could only protect 7 players.
5. The expansion team can only draft one player from each roster and must have at least 14 players.

We have 10 players under contract, and of those I would imagine Posey and Rush/Dahntay don't get protected.

A hypothetical contraction draft is highly more likely.

I'm with M4E on the expansion draft... Posey & Rush/Jones. I don't really see why an expansion team would pick an expiring, so you know we'd retain Posey.
