COL seems to be the most interesting team for the expansion draft.
On my first impression, they seem like a good candidate to go for the 8FD / 1G scenario.
Because Johnson has a NMC -- he's automatically protected. Under this scenario (personally I protected Burakovsky), exposed is: Compher, Donskoi, Kadri, and Jost.
What's the thinking COL fans? Do you bank on convincing Johnson to waive his clause, or do you go the 7F / 3D / 1G scenario and expose Graves?
Plus there is a good chance Francouz will be exposed...
If I'm Seattle, I'm not even sure what I want to do here.
If Kadri is Available I’d take him, Unless Guys Like Chytil, Henrique end up Available
I’d take Jost for Age, Francouz If he keeps up his Backup Record, GAA and S%
And that tittle is kinda confusing(atleast for me)

Ya I'd take Naz he's a great 2C. I wonder if they leave Graves available instead.
It has to be 7/3/1. I would try to convince EJ to waive his NMC - Sakic could even give up picks to ensure EJ isnt selected. Worst case scenario is that he doesnt waive and Sakic has to let Seattle take Graves, Trade Graves, or give Seattle picks to make them take someone else.
Grubauer is a UFA that offseason so theres a real possibility that Francouz is protected and Grubauer just signs as a UFA after the draft

To me, this screams the need for a trade... or to make a deal with Seattle.
Unless, all 30 teams handshake an agreement not to do so (in the hopes of not creating a Vegas 2.0).
Either way, there'll still be some really interesting COL players made available.
