Getzlaf was protected by Anaheim and won't be available to Vegas in the expansion draft, TSN reports.
It's no surprise the Anaheim captain was protected. Getzlaf was a force down the stretch in the regular season with 35 points through 25 games, and then he recorded 19 points -- eight goals -- over 17 playoff games. Getzlaf has averaged 73 points per year over the past four seasons and remains a go-to fantasy asset in all settings.
