So assuming Vegas isn't crazy - the guys you could potentially see them take:
Brouwer
Stajan
Shinkaruk
F. Hamilton
Chiasson
Bartowski
Kulak
Wotherspoon

Really not much there. I could see Stajan, Chiasson and maybe Bartowski as they'd be guys they could potentially move again at the trade deadline for an asset.

Brouwer is probably a pipe dream given the Flames already moved a pick today and can't see them offering up a sweetener to Vegas.

Hamilton, Kulak and Wotherspoon are cheap guys who've got reasonable NHL experience. Shinkauk probably has the biggest upside of the list but I'm sure there's about 20 guys like him available on other teams.

If I were to rank them as most likely to go:
1. Kulak
2. Chiasson
3. F.Hamilton
4. Stajan
5. Wotherspoon
