Most of this has probably been stated in the thread before, but:

-I think the thing to remember through all this is that it's one player per team.

-For every potential unproven player that the Flames may lose, there are 30 teams having the same dilemma, and not everyone is losing a player.

-An "equalization draft", where every team could end up picking in some format during or after the expansion team would fill their roster, would be crazy cool.

Also, T Mobile Arena in Vegas opens in under 3 weeks...given that the announcement is before June, I think the decision for expansion is all but done, at least for LV first.
