The cost to acquire MAF from Vegas will be... who knows? It's also worth mentioning that we'll probably be trying to deal with them to take Brouwer off our hands in the draft too.

Acquiring MAF, or any goalie for that matter, doesn't impact the protection status of Ferland / Lazar. Teams can protect 7F, 3D and 1G (OR 4-4-1).
