I am okay with loosing Mangiapanie (which would suck) as he is the easiest to replace and plays a position where we have the deepest prospect pool.
Also on the Gaudreau trade i was looking at, I think this should be re-evaluated either before the season or before the expansion draft. I like others think that Philadelphia is the best partner and using the Stone and Paciorretty as a framework i arrived at the below;
Frost/Farabee (both are expansion exempt)

I don’t see it being an issue. I am sure that the Flames will re-sign a forward to expose along with Lucic. Doc, Nordstrom, Simon, and Bennett already meet the exposure requirements. One of them will get an extension before the year is over. Otherwise the Flames can trade for any forward with 27GP this season, and extend him.
