Below are TSN Hockey's projected protection lists for each of the NHL's current 30 teams. Each team will have the option to protect either seven forwards, three defencemen and one goaltender, or eight skaters and one goaltender. All players who own no-move clauses are automatically protected unless they waive their clause.

These are lists are used for the TSN Hockey Golden Knights Draft Simulator.
