Team: 2021-22 Seattle Kraken

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 19, 2021

Published: Jul. 20, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Here is my Expansion Draft Mock Draft. I made this on the expansion tool here on Capfriendly then transferred all of the players over to an ACGM to make trades and signings. In my opinion this is a playoff team but if they're bad they can always blow it up with all of the free agents that they have next year. Here is why I took each of these players:
Stolarz: Great numbers in Anaheim, could break out in a bigger role
Korenar: Good young goaltender who can provide depth
Lauzon: Solid young D-man
Giordano: Still a top-4 guy, great leader and possible deadline piece
Niederreiter: Solid winger also on an expiring deal
Dickinson: Young centreman that can play in the minors for another year
Domi: Has shown a high ceiling and is still young, expiring deal
Stecher: Had a great World Championships and is on a modest, expiring deal
Klefbom: Great D-man if he plays again, if not, he's free anyway
Athanasiou: Solid bounce-back season in LA, still young and can be signed for as long as you want
Soucy: Second option after receiving a first to not take Kahkonnen, still fine though
Fleury: Young D-man with potential that can sit in the minors
Subban: Great personality who you can get at a lower term for next season
Gauthier: Former first rounder who can developp in the minors
Comeau: Veteran leader who is defensively responsible
Tanev: Impact power-forward who does have a big contract but can easily live up to it
Donato: Third or fourth line center who can be a decent trade piece
Dunn: Great, young, offensive defenseman that can be signed long-term
Colton: Rising star who literally scored the Stanley Cup winning goal, plus you don't help Tampa
McCann: Great young forward with a two-way game
Lind: Solid Prospect that could be great in a regular NHL role
Appleton: Solid depth piece with a low cap hit
Drieger: Good numbers in a short time with Florida, plus the contract is already in place
Johansen: Ex-first rounder who's my first choice after the side deal to keep Vanecek in Washington
Bailey: Good veteran winger with fair cap hit
Gostisbehere: Offensive stud that can easily be flipped with retention to a contender for assets
Daccord: Potential starter of the future
Miller: Part of the original Knights, good defensively and can be dealt at the dealine
Duchene: Bad contract but he still has some upside, not to mention we get assets to take him
McDonald: Easily flipable bottom pairing D-man who can play bigger minutes in a crunch.
