The newly reported FA window that allows Las Vegas to negotiate with any RFAs and UFAs means that, unless any of the following players are extended prior to the expansion draft, Vegas would be able to talk to the following Flames unless they are protected by the Flames:

Kris Versteeg
Sam Bennett
Michael Ferland
Alex Chiasson
Brandon Bollig
Linden Vey
Dennis Wideman
Deryk Engelland
Jyrki Jokipakka
Brett Kulak
Ryan Culkin
Tyler Wotherspoon
Niklas Grossmann
Brian Elliott
Chad Johnson

Bennett and Elliott seem to be no-brainers for contracts prior to the draft and FA window. The FA window may encourage the Flames to protect Ferland even if he's not extended by then.
