Default Lucic has agreed to waive his NMC for the expansion draft

from Seravalli's article


https://www.tsn.ca/canadian-expansio...aken-1.1628561

Quote:
Our understanding is that Lucic agreed to waive his no-move clause for Expansion Draft purposes as a condition on his trade from Edmonton, which means he will not need to be protected.

Also Seravalli's projected expansion draft list for the Flames:

CALGARY FLAMES

Protection Scheme: 7/3/1

Forwards (7)

Dillon Dube
Johnny Gaudreau
Glenn Gawdin (RFA)
Elias Lindholm
Andrew Mangiapane
Sean Monahan
Matthew Tkachuk

Defence (3)

Rasmus Andersson
Noah Hanifin
Chris Tanev

Goaltender (1)

Jacob Markstrom

Potentially Exposed Players

F Mikael Backlund
F Milan Lucic (NMC)
D Mark Giordano
G Tyler Parsons

I love this man.

Not that I want him gone, but to put the team first like this shows his character

I hope they’re not having to protect one of Gaudreau, Monahan or Tkachuk.

What’s first, the draft or the expansion draft?

It probably makes sense to go 4-4 (bolded) so they can protect Klefbom?

You expose Backlund.

I think the Flames knew this when they made the trade. But it is cool to know that it's being followed through.

One thing I've been feeling lately though is that Looch may retire before next season as well.

Seeing as he said he was pondering retirement before the trade, maybe he had his swan song, got the silver stick and wants to hang em up. Just a gut feeling I have.

Doubt he gets claimed by Seattle anyways.

Really a no brainer. Puts him in a great light with the team and the fans. Almost no risk to him that he gets taken. And if Seattle for some weird reason takes him, he will be in a city close to his home town, in a no pressure situation, and will be the usual fan favorite.

I don't think you expose Backlund, for the simple fact that there's really nobody worth protecting over him if Lucic waives

I remember this:

Treliving (on Lucic's NMC for Expansion): It's not an issue
Flames Fans: We have to protect Lucic, we're screwed!

Expansion draft is July 21 and the draft starts July 23

Doesn't Phillips have to be protected? You'd think he'd be above Gawdin.

RIGHT HANDED SHOT!!!!!!1!!1!!!!111!!!

But yeah, I think it would be better to protect Backlund, so if anything you can trade him and get assets in return. He has more value than Gawdin does.

This makes sense. Treliving and management have always alluded to (in STH meetings/zoom calls) the NMC not being a concern for them for the expansion draft

None of those guys are in much, if any, danger of being picked up. It may be a reason not to give them any NHL games, I guess, in case they get noticed.
