With the expansion draft coming in fast, every NHL team needs to devise a strategy to keep their most valuable assets. 11 players can be protected through the 7 forwards, 3 defensemen and 1 goalie format, and the Bruins already decided who wouldn't be subject to the draft. Among unprotected players figure Malcolm Subban, Riley Nash, Jimmy Hayes and Adam McQuaid

McQuaid has been a true warrior for the team this year. After being cut to the neck, he rejoined the lineup the next game to not let the team down. He battled true injuries and came back as intense as ever. In a true sense, McQuaid has the Bruins in his heart for good. 

However, his future could very well be in the Nevada desert comes this summer. When asked about the possibility to be moved to Vegas, McQuaid answered. 

“Well, I hope not. I never thought of it that way, to be honest with you. Obviously, the reality of the situation is they’re picking somebody from every team. So, I hope that’s not the case for me. I’ve won here and I’ve always said how much I love it back here. I can’t imagine playing for another team. It’s totally out of my control, but hopefully that’s not the case.”

The projected protected team looks like this :

Forwards (7): Bergeron, Krejci, Backes, Pastrnak, Marchand, Beleskey and Spooner

Defensemen (3): Chara, Krug and Colin Miller

Goaltender (1): Rask 

McQuaid still under contract with the Bruins for next year, but he's a very tempting target for the Golden Knights. This summer will be filled with anxiety for the McQuaids!
