While the Toronto Maple Leafs don’t need to worry about protecting the above players, the following players are going to be available to the Knights if the Leafs don’t protect them.
- Nazem Kadri

There are more, but I didn’t consider players like Lupul or Steve Orelesky who they obviously wouldn’t care about losing.
