Agree. When I do the expansion draft, I allow teams to protect 29-30 players, and the expansion teams cannot draft any player with 4 years or less in service(think that's what it's called). The default is 3, but I've found in the past, that allows some really good, young players to be available, which isn't reality. Like you, I want to make the expansion experience as hard as possible.
