Yeah the defense situation is interesting. Much can change but right now, Flames would be forced to expose one of those 3 which they obviously don't want.

Maybe Jokipakka or Engeland get extended and exposed.
Maybe Wotherspoon or Nakladal get signed and play in enough games this year.
Maybe new player gets added this year with at least a 2 year deal.
