So this list assumes assumes the Flames will only have 5 NHL defensemen, and that’s if you include Kylington and Valimaki.
If Kylington is actually proving himself to be an NHLer by that point, you’d have to think he is primed to be claimed. If he isn’t, the Flames will have other players signed on the back end that will need to be considered.
Or maybe so little hockey will have been played between now and then that we’ll have no idea who is any good.
