Assuming they run with 7, I doubt they will be too concerned about waivers for whichever player they decide is #8 on that list.
On a side note, a lot of people seem to think they wouldn't send Gudbranson down, just because he is getting paid more. I don't think that is true - if they feel the other guys are better, they won't hesitate to send him down. And if anyone claimed him (unlikely), it would do the Flames a favour and free up some cap space.
Valimaki and Kylington are more valuable than Stone and Gudbranson, simply because of their age and thus their upside. So I doubt the Flames expose either of them, unless they are essentially giving up on them.
That's how I see it, anyway.

I’m of a similar opinion about everything. The only place where we differ is that I doubt they won’t hesitate in regards to Gudbrsnson. Also, if one of Kylington/Valimaki ends up as #8, though unlikely, it could backfire on the organization.
