Why would they want our overpaid depth forwards? All of our best assets were protected. We didn't have any stupid NMC we had to protect. Important assets like Gillies, Parsons, Jankowski, Tkachuk, Andersson, Kylington all exempt. Those are part of our depth. So no, the expansion draft doesn't really tell you a ton about our depth at all.

They could have had Engelland in a few weeks if they wanted and picked a different Flame like Kulak or even Chiasson.
The Vegas GM specifically said he'd "burn picks" but some Flame fans are still denying they didn't want any of our players?
