Darius Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 LOL - flames fans were mocking Lazar in their forums for weeks, they were even hoping thats who we got for Burrows, now they cough up a second for him. Does this mean they will protect him over a Ferklund for instance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 A good D prospect and a 2nd for someone they have to protect/expose in the expansion draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 ED spots taken up by Guadreau, Bennet, Monahan, Frolik, Backlund, Brouwer. Can only protect one of Ferland, Bouma, Shinkaruk, Poirier, Lazar. Pretty expensive 2nd in that context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Sens shoulda just claimed Jokipakka yesterday. It's pretty much a push for the Flames, no net loss and a gamble on a former first. Sens GM quickly looking like one of the worst in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect they'll protect Ferland and Lazar with the last 2 spots, and then sacrifice one of Shinkaruk or Poirier. Similar players, so really doesn't matter.

Can only protect one of Ferland, Bouma, Shinkaruk, Poirier, Lazar. Pretty expensive 2nd in that context. I'm not 100% sure Poirier or Shinkaruk are eligible for the expansion draft. That said, I could easily see the Flames risking Brouwer in order to protect Ferland or Lazar. Flames must think that, with Lazar's recent struggles, he may be passed over by the Golden Knights for a more NHL reliable player. That and if a Brouwer is left exposed, it dangles a carrot in front of George McPhee to pass up on the others since McPhee has history with Brouwer... and also, since Brouwer was only signed by the Flames, it's not like they "lose" a ton if he's claimed... though Brouwer is likely a player that could yield a good return in a trade. I expect the Flames to make another move or two before the Expansion Draft to address this issue. They're going to lose a good player, that's for sure.

Maybe but Brouwer would be a decent pick-up for an expansion team that needs to hit the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
