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.

The Dallas Stars and company released their list of protected players, leaving the majority of the rest of their line-up susceptible to become a member of the Las Vegas Golden Knights.

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

Here are the biggest mistakes made in the Stars’ list, both in who they included and who they left off.
