I hope Rushan Rafikov comes over eventually. Dope name.
Yelesin is going to be our franchise D.
It would be awesome if he came over and plays like Pronger.

In what world do the Flames accept losing two top 4 D? If anything one of Brodie or Hamonic is gone but at least one should be here.Brodie and hamonic are probably on their last year as a flames...traded, fa or Seattle
The flames probably sold yelesin that ..do good one year and you are in the nhl..we have room
They can only protect 3 dmen for the expansion draft?In what world do the Flames accept losing two top 4 D? If anything one of Brodie or Hamonic is gone but at least one should be here.
So then they re-sign either D-man and let Seattle have a crack at which of the available d-men they want? Why trade one knowing that we're going to lose the other like, right after.They can only protect 3 dmen for the expansion draft?
The expansion draft is in 2021. By then Gio will be 37 (turning 38 in October). I wouldn't be surprised to see him left unprotected if it came to a choice of protecting Hanifin, Andersson, Valimaki, and Kylington.
How does this not leave room for Hamonic or Brodie? One of them might get traded for forward help but we have more desirable guys on the left side compared to Hamonic.Yup but this scenario still has no room for Hamonic or Brodie....I think they will be gone for forward help

barring any changes through trades or free agency that brings in d-men capable of playing on the right side, we hang on to both Brodie and Hamonic, and then they take one and we keep the other. Either that or we take Kylington and our right side still looks set and we have Gio, Hanifin, and Valimaki on the right side.If they can only protect 3 and they want to protect the 4 young dmen, Hanifin, Andersson, Valimaki, and Kylington.
How do they keep Brodie or Hamonic in that case unless Seattle dont want them?

It's a NTC (actually becomes a modified NTC after next season - "Lists 19 teams he can be traded to").Unless Giordano waives his NMC, he's ineligible for the expansion draft and is a mandatory protection.
Not sure why the expansion draft is repeatedly brought up with regards to Brodie & Hamonic. Both are free agents in 2020. Expansion draft is 2021. They could both be gone before then, they could both be re-signed before then, or one leaves, one stays.
Secondly, basic math: if the Flames have seven good defencemen and lose one to the Seattle Coffee Cups, they'll still have six afterwards. On the other hand, if they go into it with six, they might leave with five. And so on and so forth. So which is a better aftermath, six good defencemen or five?
Whatever the Flames are doing from now on, expansion draft has to be part of the consideration so they can minimize the loss.
It's not that straight forward of losing one keep five or sixth or whatever....it's more of who you do not want to lose and how do you maximize your team going into the draft. Nobody wants to be the next Florida
Anyway nothing fans can speculate this far out so I agree, let not waste time discussing it lol
