Sunday morning, the Dallas Stars released their list of protected players. While they included the mainstays on the team in Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin and John Klingberg, they might have made a few mistakes regarding both who they protected and who they left exposed.

Mark Stepneski of NHL.com tweeted a full list of the players that are eligible to be chosen by Las Vegas:
