{In this experimental form of a round table, I attempt to edit a discursive online conversation into a useful guide to the Fire’s decisions around the Expansion Draft.}
Sean Spence: I'd like to kick things off with the observation that a player is not necessarily done with the club just because their option was turned down. Every year, some of the guys who get negged wind up re-upping with the club. Last year (and possibly this year?), Razvan Cocis was a good example - he had his option for '16 declined, and negotiated a new deal to return.
