The deadline for protected lists was 4:00 pm Mountain Daylight Time on June 12, two days after the Devils beat the Stars for the Stanley Cup. Each of the new clubs could select a maximum of six players apiece that were due to become free agents of any sort. Any existing club that lost a goalie could not lose a defenceman, and no more than one defenceman or goalie could be chosen from an existing club. Of the exposed players the Blue Jackets and Wild would select three goalies, eight defencemen and 13 forwards, and two more players of any position. Each team had to offer at least one defenceman and two forwards with 40 games played in the 1999-2000 season or 70 in 1998-2000.Īll first- and second-year professionals were exempt from selection as were any unsigned draft choices, except choices from Europe from 1996 or earlier. A team protecting only one goalie did not have to offer a goalie with any NHL experience. A "game played" in this case was defined as a minimum 31 minutes in a game. If a team protected two goalies they had to offer a goalie with a minimum of 10 games played in 1999-2000, or 25 games over the course of 1998-2000. Neither the Atlanta Thrashers nor the Nashville Predators would participate, being that they had only taken to the ice one and two years before, respectively.Įach existing club was mandated to expose players with a minimum level of experience. The Blue Jackets and Wild would alternate selections in a 'snaking' pattern (ABBABAAB) and take two players from each of the 26 existing clubs participating in the draft (a total of 52). Existing clubs were allowed to protect either up to one goalie, five defencemen and nine forwards or up to two goalies, three defencemen and seven forwards. The rules of the 2000 expansion draft were almost exactly the same as the rules of the 19 expansion drafts. The Wild hired former Flames GM Doug Risebrough over a year later, on September 2, 1999. MacLean also assumed the title of president shortly thereafter. The Blue Jackets hired Doug MacLean as general manager on February 11, 1998, about two-and-a-half months after he was dismissed as the Florida Panthers' head coach. They wouldn't take to the ice until 2000, after the completion of the construction of their new arenas: Nationwide Arena in Columbus and the Xcel Energy Center in St. The Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild were the last two expansion clubs allowed into the NHL, admitted in 1997.
