98 Expansion (Nashville),
Rules:
The Predators were to select 26 players, one from each of the 26 existing franchises at the time of the draft.

First- and second-year pros were exempt from being selected in the draft. Each of the 26 franchises in the league were allowed to protect either one goaltender, five defensemen and nine forwards or two goaltenders, three defensemen and seven forwards.

Not including the minutae about who had to be protected and available.. but the issue is the drafting 1 from each franchise.

I'm doing the expansion draft right now (well, the AI is picking for Nashville) and the first 4 skater picks (and 6 total) have come off my roster. I should only have lost 1.Chicago, Edmonton and Dallas each lost 2.
