No matter who the Flames potentially protect among forwards, I wonder if the player we lose is Kulak, unless the Flames offer something to Vegas to not take him.
The knights are going to need prospects and emerging players. Kulak is that guy.
I can't see Lazar being picked, even if the Flames don't protect him. Unless he all of a sudden has a great playoffs. As of right now, there are better options available from the Flames that will be available.
I agree with everyone that there's no chance that Ferland is left unprotected.
Whether we are worried about losing Brouwer or not depends on how he performs in the playoffs, IMO. But he might be protected anyway, over Lazar, IMO.
