If they don't want anybody else off the Flames' exposed list, why waste a 7th-round pick? The expansion pick has to be used regardless.

Poirer, Shinkaruk, Kulak, are all retained by Vegas until they're 26-27 years old. Hell even Brouwer provides at least a warm right shooting body for 3 more seasons. If Vegas really needed a centre, they could just tell Treliving they're taking Poirer but will settle with Kulak if they get Stajan for a 7th. Treliving takes that and runs.
But Vegas wont do that. They'll just sign college or KHL or NHL free agents to be their centre depth if need be. They WILL NOT waste an expansion pick on Stajan. McPhee would have to be ######ed.
