Any chance McNeil could end up a 4th line center in Vegas? Or he is just too slow and has the Bickell skate?
I believe he is protected from the expansion draft due to his lack of NHL games. But I don't think he's long for this franchise anyway, as Clyde mentioned.
McNeill is not protected from the expansion draft. You are protected if you are a first year, second year pro, or an unsigned draft pick. Lack of NHL games doesn't play into it.
However, Vegas would be stupid to take McNeill in an expansion draft and he isn't even an option. Pretty surprised that the organization hasn't moved on from him yet and tried to get something for him (as small as it may be).
He doesn't regularly play center.My guess is they value the organizational center depth more than the 6th rd pick, and since they appreciate the work he does for Rockford...just let it be.
