The Calgary Flames officially are not a playoff team for the 2020-21 season. As a result, attention is rapidly shifting to the July 21 expansion draft, the July 23-24 entry draft, and the opening of free agency on July 28.
The hockey world keeps marching on, folks.
who would you like to see protected in the expansion draft, Tanev or Giordano?

We’ve dug into this in some detail in the past, but the short answer is Chris Tanev should be protected and Mark Giordano exposed.
