For those of you that are afraid of losing Kylington in the expansion draft Eric Duhatschek and Ryan S. Clark at the Athletic have The Flames losing Backlund
Which makes perfect sense if they protect Andersson, Hanifin, Tanev and Gio
Leaves Monahan, Gaudreau, Lindholm and Tkachuk as protected forwards and Lucic, Bennett, Mangiapane and Dube along with Backlund in the available pool
Good news for Kylington as he would have to dress for 22 games to be the draft eligible D-man for the Flames.
This puts the Flames in the position of dealing with the Kraken ... Dube plus for them to pick Lucic and leave Backlund?
