Teams start with 8 Protection Slots and gain an additional protection slot after a player is claimed in the expansion draft. Protection Slots can also be used as FA passes which allow the re-signing of Free Agents to that team.
S24 draftees are automatically protected.
Expansion GMs are granted permission to speak with UNPROTECTED players from other teams. Talking to protected players will be treated as tampering and prosecuted as such.
