NHL NEWS by Michael Dell, Editor-in-Chief
LEMIEUX LOOKS GOOD
ZIGGY GO? ZIGGY GONE. REALLY. This is obviously a tremendous trade for the Kings. It does raise their payroll by nearly seven million dollars for next season, but they'll be moving into a new arena and can afford to spend some scratch. Palffy is as entertaining as they come. He'll make it fun. Add the man named Ziggy and Smolinksi to Luc Robitaille, Donald Audette, Jozef Stumpel, and Glen Murray, and the Los Angeles offense shouldn't be too bad next season. The defense will be decent as long as Rob Blake and Mattias Norstrom are around. Now the Kings just need to keep their goaltending healthy and they should be back in the postseason.

EXPANSION DRAFT ZANINESS Each club was allowed to protect either (i) up to five defensemen, nine forwards and one goaltender, or (ii) up to three defensemen, seven forwards and two goaltenders. Each club was required to expose for claim at least the following players who meet the experience requirements indicated below: ONE GOALTENDER -- For clubs protecting one goaltender, no experience requirement. For clubs protecting two goaltenders, either 10 NHL games played in the 1998-99 season or 25 NHL games played over the last two seasons (1997-98 and 1998-99). A goaltender must have played in a minimum of 31 minutes in a game before it would qualify as a game played for these purposes. Games played include regular season and playoff games. ONE EXPERIENCED DEFENSEMAN -- Either 40 NHL games played in the 1998-99 season or 70 NHL games played over the last two seasons (1997-98 and 1998-99). Games played include regular season and playoff games. TWO EXPERIENCED FORWARDS ? Either 40 NHL games played in the 1998-99 season or 70 NHL games played over the last two seasons (1997-98 and 1998-99). Games played include regular season and playoff games. Exempt from the Expansion Draft are (i) all first and second-year pros and (ii) unsigned draft choices (except unsigned draft choices drafted from European clubs in the 1995 Entry Draft or before and who remain unsigned). The number of players in each category to be selected by Atlanta will be at least three goaltenders, eight defensemen and 13 forwards. Each of the clubs (except Nashville) will lose one player. Clubs that lost a goaltender in the 1998 Expansion Draft (Anaheim, Los Angeles, Montreal, New Jersey and New York Rangers) cannot lose a goaltender in the 1999 Expansion Draft.
