Quote Ian Kennedy:

One point we're seeking clarification on in the PWHL expansion plan is whether tendering a qualifying offer to last year's draft picks on one-year deals (O'Brien, Kadirova, Mlynkova etc) counts as one of three initial protections, or it's in addition.

Wording on this is vague.

Would be bad for Montreal. That means, they would lose ARD or Stacey.

My guess

Montreal: Poulin, ARD and Stacey.

Toronto: Fast, Watts, Turnbull.

Ottawa: Philips, Leslie, Hughes.

New York: Fillier, O'Brien, Kalkutonova.

Boston: Frankle, Keller, Müller.

Minnesota: Pannek, Heise, Zumwinkle.

Seattle: Gosling, Carpenter, Knight.

Vancouver: Jaques, Gardiner, Miller.
