Too much concern about expansion draft.
Teams will know well in advance who Seattle may be looking at and have constant communication, and, work out a few deals in advance for them to take a certain player or not take a certain player. It also of course all depends on the other teams and the same offers and players that they are offering and making to Seattle. For the Flames, just like Engelland and Vegas.
It's not some shrouded mystery, and the Flames have no idea who Seattle picks until they do.
Seattle's choices and and every team's outlook for next year and beyond and the players they want or don't want will so change between the hour after trade deadline and before the expansion draft.
