Leaving Klefbom unprotected would be a massive mistake. He's the best defenseman out of the other three you protected right now.

Would you expose Jones?

Probably, unless he breaks out like bear did last season.

If Klefbom misses the whole season, I'm pretty sure he doesn't need to be protected.

Minimum Exposure Requirements
Teams must expose a minimum number of players that meet the following criteria for selection in the upcoming Expansion Draft:
- under contract in 2021-22, AND
- played in 40 or more NHL games last season, OR
- played in 70 or more NHL games in the last two seasons

Klefbom played 62 games in 2019-20, as long as he plays 7 or fewer games in 2020-21 he won't meet the exposure requirements. Or am I missing something?

Oh you're right, shortened season may change those rules

If Bettman can change the rules to screw Edmonton, you can be sure he will.
