The New York Rangers protected list has been released for the Seattle Kraken Expansion Draft which will be held on July 21.
The New York Rangers had one player who surprisingly made their protected list. Kevin Rooney will be protected which means Colin Blackwell will be exposed for Wednesday’s draft.
The Details
Here is the list announced this morning.
#NYR protection list: Buchnevich, Chytil, Kreider, Panarin, Rooney, Strome, Zibanejad, Hajek, Lindgren, Trouba, Georgiev.
Exposed: Blackwell, Gauthier, DeAngelo, Kinkaid.

Barclay Goodrow is not being protected based on Frank Seravalli’s tweet. Â This should be of no surprise as it would be a risky pick for the Kraken to select a UFA with one of their selections. The Washington Capitals did the same thing with superstar UFA Alex Ovechkin.
Julien Gauthier, outcast defenseman Anthony DeAngelo, and goalie Keith are the players along with Blackwell that is on the exposed list.
