I just can't see them exposing Lazar, as others mentioned, we gave up a decent draft pick for him. Plus, he performed well in the games he played.
I am 99% sure that both Lazar and Ferland will be protected based on their upside and age.
I think Brouwer will be the odd guy out. If they don't take him, then great. I'd be happy to see how he does on the Flames next season. I do feel that of the players to pick from in this poll, he has the best potential for making a an impact on an expansion team.
At the same time, I am not saying that the $4.5 million wouldn't be great to go shopping with, so I could live with it either way.
