  • Existing teams may protect up to 10 players, but must leave a minimum of 6 unprotected. (Free agents are not included in either category.)
  • Expansion teams must each select one player from each existing team prior to selecting a second player from an existing team. This will also hold true after a 2nd player is selected from an existing team: each expansion team must select from each existing team twice prior to selecting a 3rd player from an existing team.
  • Existing teams may protect two after losing their first player.
  • Existing teams may protect one after losing their second player.
  • An existing team may not lose more than three players.
  • Expansion teams may each select a total of nine players.
  • A coin flip will decide which expansion team picks first and fourth, while the other team picks second and third. Picking will alternate after the fourth pick.
