A really smart thing for expansion teams to do in the future would be to identify the 5 players you want and pre-arrange deals for all of them by selecting 5 different players from those teams (ie. like protecting a 12th player - pick this player and then trade him back to us) and then sending the selected player for the player they want + half of the allocation that team got for the pick. Gets some allocation and allows the other team to get some allocation and essentially protecting 12 players instead of 11. Build up some goodwill with other teams for future.
