At what point are you allowed to expose a guy after you sign him? They signed Bouma the summer before Brouwer - are they able to expose him without hurting their value with FA?
And Lazar is going to get protected. You don't trade a 2nd round pick for a guy to just let him be picked in an expansion draft.

Agreed, although I think Frolik is a better example than Bouma (came from another team). It's a ridiculous sentiment.
