What other RB would you be willing to trade that is good for short yardage and catching the ball?

he absolutely will never under any circumstances need protection
- TheSabresTaco

Yep. Looked further into and he is exempt. However, if it is him and Ullmark on the roster do they sign another goalie? They must leave someone unprotected for the draft. Johansson may qualify.

That’s probably the most untrue thing ever posted on here

Name ONE, just ONE, player from last years roster who wasn’t crapped on?

THE PLAYERS DON’T GET BLAMED???

In two years, anything can change. But the way it looks today, it'll be UPLs rookie season in the NHL in 21-22. Depending on his performance, he'll fight Ullmark for time.

The only goalies we can expose is Johansson. Which would be extremely easy to do.

Really early to project that. Pretty good chance Johansson isn't in the organization at that point. Unless he gets some serious NHL time, he'll be a UFA before then.

Botterill needs to be able to expose someone. And the org top 3 are either exempt or protected. He might as well offer QOs for a couple years.

My timing was a little off. If he were 2 months older, he would have hit type-6 UFA before the draft, without some real NHL time. Maybe they do keep him around for that purpose. If not, it's an easy problem to solve.

Gore? It's not like they expect him to break off 30 yd receptions all the time, just short yardage for the most part. He's not a great pass catching back but he's solid. Can pass protect a bit as well.

Coming off his best season since GWB was president

I'd still take him. Move bogo and deactivate sobotka's parking pass. Just deny he ever had a contract
