My Seattle Expansion

Team: 2021-22 Seattle Kraken

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 10, 2021

Published: Jul. 11, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

This team would sell so many jerseys. That first line, Johnson, PK, would all be huge fan favourites.

I picked the fourth line to be a perfect energy line, Marchment, Paul, and Evans would make a perfect fourth line and they would play the type of hockey everyone tunes in for.

Blackwell has a chance to pop out of nowhere and become a William Karlsson, so take a stab at him.

Johnson is from the Pacific NW, bring him home and get picks for doing it.

Goaltending LOOKS underwhelming but Hill has quietly been an up and coming young goalie with Arizona. Subban had average numbers with Chicago BUT they were awful. Behind a winning team and a good defence he's a good backup.

Third line is full of sorta young guys that have looked good in their time, but good take the jump to being top 9 producers with steady icetime.

Lastly... Bring back Boyle as an extra. He would be an amazing leader, sell jerseys, and he won't need to play super often as long as he's the 14th forward on the roster. He didn't look bad at the IIHF WC.

This would be a fun, popular, and talented team with a winning culture that Seattle could end up with. I would love to all this happen. Either way the expansion draft will be fun to watch unfold.
