I watched a podcast last night that predicted who the 5 players were that each team were going to protect in the W expansion draft. To my surprise, Minnesota had Dorka on that list, even though she opted out this past season. I am hoping that this means that she will be coming back to the W next season. I was also surprised that Nika Muhl was on the Storms protection list. She is another player that did not play last season because of a torn ACL. Good to see that their talent is respected, and the teams seem to think that they can help them next season. Very happy to see.
