: [Hamilton] notes that Vegas has sent the message of either you leave us William Carrier or we take one of your unprotected goalies. Carrier was left off the protect list so it appears a backup netminder Linus Ullmark will not be taken from the Buffalo Sabres roster.
Mike Harrington Of The Buffalo News: The Sabres may hope to lose a big contract in the expansion draft – Zach Bogosian, Matt Moulson or Josh Gorges – but it’s unlikely.
The belief is Carrier was included to protect Linus Ullmark.
