Description

I believe Seattle should inquire on one of Reinhart or Eichel after the draft. I think Tampa decided they don’t care if it’s Johnson or Gourde they won’t give up more then a first. Saved Philly and NYI trades cause they’re a little more complicated, rest is pretty straight forward.

Looking to trade Domi, Drouin, Zadorov, Tiereny, Komodo, and Eberle or Voracek

Trades

SEA

Fleury, Haydn

Additional Details:

Francis familiarity comes in here, grabs a young dman who can play either side

ANA

SEA

Fischer, Christian

Additional Details:

This ones between Pitlick and Fischer but Fischer is cheaper, younger and is an RFA

ARI

SEA

Zboril, Jakub

Additional Details:

Rumor is assistant coach likes him from time in Providence

BOS

SEA

Rights to Caggiula, familiar with Hakstol from days at ND

BUF

SEA

Giordano, Mark

Additional Details:

Top pairing dman for Seattle can be retained and traded

CGY

SEA

Bean, Jake [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

Rumour is Bean is the target here

CAR

SEA

Zadorov, Nikita [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

Draft and flip Zadorov

CHI

SEA

Rights to Landeskog. I don’t think Seattle gets him but somebody’s gonna have to pay him so why not them. Plenty of expensive middle 6 forwards so don’t need Donskoi or Compher here

COL

SEA

Domi, Max

Additional Details:

I think Seattle should take a look at Reinhart or Eichel after the expansion draft and Domi and Reinhart played together before otherwise teams such as the Panthers, Canucks, and Leafs could show interest

CBJ

10.

SEA

Mascherin, Adam [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

No great options here. Don’t think Seattle picks Price or Bishop due to injury concerns

DAL

11.

SEA

Stecher, Troy

Additional Details:

ND connection again

DET

12.

SEA

Klefbom, Oscar

Additional Details:

Either you get a top 4 dman or nothing but benson hasn’t proven anything yet and you can get better bottom 6 forwards then khaira or kahun

EDM

13.

SEA

Chris Driedger. Personally I think they should wait until he goes to market but this is the rumour.

FLA

14.

SEA

Lemieux, Brendan

Additional Details:

Great bottom 6 addition

LAK

15.

SEA

Kähkönen, Kaapo

Additional Details:

3rd goalie

MIN

16.

SEA

Drouin, Jonathan

Additional Details:

I think they should be picking Price but they take Drouin then probably trade him to Colorado or someone

MTL

17.

SEA

Johansen, Ryan
2021 1st round pick (NSH)

Additional Details:

Doesn’t happen without at least a first

NSH

18.

SEA

Bastian, Nathan

Additional Details:

Can play in the bottom 6 and is cheap

NJD

19.

SEA

Gauthier, Julien

Additional Details:

Same as Fleury a product of the Carolina system

NYR

20.

SEA

Tierney, Chris

Additional Details:

Tierney either fills the 3C role but I think he gets delay right away

OTT

21.

SEA

Zucker, Jason

Additional Details:

Poised for a bounce back season and should be easy to move if needed once the top UFA LW are signed

PIT

22.

SEA

Gambrell, Dylan

Additional Details:

Home state kid

SJS

23.

SEA

Tarasenko, Vladimir

Additional Details:

To talented to pass up

STL

24.

SEA

Gourde, Yanni

Additional Details:

Between Gourde, Palat, Killorn, Johnson here and think Tampa days take whoever

TBL

25.

SEA

McCann, Jared

Additional Details:

Kerfoot makes sense and expect regression from McCann but younger and cheaper

TOR

26.

SEA

Holtby, Braden
2022 2nd round pick (VAN)

Additional Details:

2nd makes sure they take Holtby

VAN

27.

SEA

Vanecek, Vitek

Additional Details:

Another goalie, Vegas can tell ya about going through goalies

WSH

28.

SEA

DeMelo, Dylan

Additional Details:

Had Appleton here for the longest time but gives them a responsible RHD

WPG

29.

SEA

Eberle, Jordan
Hickey, Thomas
Komarov, Leo
2021 2nd round pick (EDM)
2022 1st round pick (NYI)

Additional Details:

Taking on a ton of cap for assets

NYI

30.

SEA

Rubtsov, German
Voracek, Jakub
2021 1st round pick (PHI)
2022 2nd round pick (PHI)

Additional Details:

Rubtsov has really struggled but this trade is made giving them a first and second for Tarasenko. Voracek can still produce and has a worse contract but The picks offset that and Seattle can probably retain and send him away.

PHI

Tarasenko, Vladimir

Seattle can pick a RFA signed or not. They can only pick a UFA if the they agreed on a new deal during the exclusive negociation window.

If Philly is send 13OA and a 2nd the other way there would need to be considerable retention
