I think the Flames are gonna lose him, when you look at the low value players that will be left exposed on their NHL roster, unless he has a catastrophic second season he is the highest value asset that will likely be exposed.
Right now we don't have a goalie worth protecting besides Gillies so why are you worried? If Gillies is progressing nicely then you would think he'd be the goalie we'd protect. If we acquire a true, young #1 then you can trade Gillies. If you sign a stopgap goalie like Reimer then you expose him and protect Gillies.

Man the hand wringing about players we MIGHT lose in an expansion draft that MIGHT happen is ridiculous. Some of you are paranoid.
