Description

Seattle expansion List:
Gallagher (F)
Toffoli (F)
Anderson (F)
Kotkaniemi (F)

Weber (D)
Petry (D)
Edmundson (D)
Chiarot (D)

Price (G)

Assuming Seattle doesn't pick a UFA, they have a choice between Drouin, Allen, Lehkonen, Kulak, Byron.

If Drouin is not picked by SEA, he gets traded to a small market for picks.

All UFAs are signed after the expansion draft.

Dougie is a stretch. Will probably want Pietrangelo money, but is a bit injury prone. Hoping the good MTL run and 7x8,5 gets it done. Allows us to use Weber 18-20 mins in the regular season, so he can play healthy come playoff time.

Byron is traded after season 21-22 with 1 year remaining to his contract, giving us around 11M to sign Suzuki/Romanov/Evans. Allen could also be replaced by Primeau at this point, for an additional 2M.

Alternatively, we could pay a bit more to trade Byron this summer (though I think his playoffs may render him somewhat valuable to some playoff teams looking for experience and leadership on their bottom 6) and sign someone like Blake Coleman for that 2nd line with KK and Andy, slotting down Armia and Lehk to the 3rd and 4th lines, respectively.
