I expect we might see some different rules for the expansion draft this go round with a salary cap in place. Teams like the Flames have many veterans to expose but expansion teams aren't going to load up on other teams bad contracts. Maybe teams will have to expose a certain number of players still in RFA status. In other words, I would be more worried about losing a Ferland or Jooris than Raymond, Stajan etc.
