0% chance Lehkonen doesn’t get protected.

Also why is Matthew Peca here?

Almost half of these players are current or former habs.

You could probably add gambrell or gregor from sjs (dahlen as a prospect).
Gregor gives off the vibe that given a bigger role in the new season he could flourish if Seattle takes him. Gambrell as well being a good bottom 6 piece with upside. Toss in Dahlen if Seattle takes him and he finally arrives in the NHL.

Idk if underrated is the right word but any of these 3 I could see doing well in Seattle if theyre taken. (gregor with the most potential IMO).

Interesting post hm I'd suggest:

Jacob Macdonald - col
Mascherin - dal
Matt Phillips - cgy
Berdin - wpg
K kuhlman - bos

Brayden Burke over Gauthier seems reasonable too
