Whatever Yzerman had to add for you to take Frans likely isn’t going to happen. We’d rather you just take Cholowski or Vladdy Nam than hurt the rebuild and add a pick.
Hanifin has to be protect no matter what if I’m the Flames
Kraken wont be able to take Klefbom because he will be on LTIR all season which means that he will exempt from the expansion draft
This is also untrue. Its a judgement call made by the NHL, the judgement being whether its a career threatening injury. There's no reason to think Klefbom will fall under this protection. Funnily enough, with it being a shortened season he won't even reach the 60 games minimum anyway.
'* Players with potential career-ending injuries who have missed more than the previous 60 consecutive games (or who otherwise have been confirmed to have a career-threatening injury) may not be used to satisfy a team's player exposure requirements unless approval is received from the NHL. Such players also may be deemed exempt from selection.'
