So Flames will lose one player to Las Vegas expansion draft eventually. My guess, LV will picking one of Flames best player not protected which is going to be Mikael Backlund(if Flames does not protect him) or a defenseman Derek Engelland because of his ties with Las Vegas. He played on their ECHL team Las Vegas Wranglers and still lives in the area. I am not worried that we will lose a goaltender on that draft.
