I wonder if the Islanders would part with Ryan Strome. No doubt they go with the 4-4-1 expansion protection system because they have some good defenseman, and since Strome has struggled since his once promising 50pt season, he doesn't look like he'll receive protection. They are also likely to lose Ladd, or De Haan.
Since they're a lousy team this year, they may want to start over and get some prospects and picks. If they want expansion protected players, the Flames could offer Magiapane or Klimchuck or a pick.
