The Trois-Rivières Lions, ECHL affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens, announced their protected players list on Tuesday.
The list features several familiar faces, including Anthony Beauregard, Isaac Dufort, Mathieu Bizier and Francesco Lapenna.
The Lions now have until June 22 to reduce their protected list from 26 to 20 players in order to establish their season-ending roster.
The Mauricie-based club will then have until July 7 to extend qualifying offers to players who remain on the season-ending roster. Players will have until July 22 to accept or decline those offers.
It should be noted that this list does not include players who were under contract in the American Hockey League (AHL) or National Hockey League (NHL).
