What does this even mean. Of course they were forced to loose someone. Did you think the expansion team was going to pick beer leaguers?
Columbus PAID LV to take Karlsson. If that isn’t giving up on a player what is?
If anything should annoy you it is that Calgary could have traded and protected almost any of these guys, and instead kept Lazar.....
The rules for protection were too harsh, yet the Calgary Flames did not have any player LV wanted and instead they took a UFA.
Just shows how pathetic our talent really is
