    will take a lot more than a 2nd to have Seattle pass on Ristolainen.

    Did they change the rules? I thought it was 7 forward and 3 defensemen or 8 skaters?

    Also, I thought ELC contracts weren't eligible

    After two years of playing in the NHL a player is eligible and I thought it was 5 but yes it is 7 I’ll change it

    Reason I didn’t put Risto is because I think he’ll be traded by then

    All players after playing their second year in the NHL aren’t protected anymore (unless I’m reading it wrong) as shown below:

    Seattle must choose a minimum of 20 players under contract for the 2021-22 regular season and those with an aggregate Expansion Draft value that is between 60-100 percent of the prior season's upper limit for the salary cap. Seattle cannot buy out players chosen in the Expansion Draft earlier than the summer following its first season.

    Current NHL teams can protect seven forwards, three defensemen and one goalie, or eight skaters (forwards/defensemen) and one goalie, under the following conditions.

    * All players with no movement clauses at the time of the draft, and who decline to waive those clauses, must be protected and will be counted toward their team's applicable protection limits.

    * All first- and second-year NHL players, and all unsigned draft choices, will be exempt from selection (and will not be counted toward protection limits.

    After what mcphee did with vegas, i expect seattle to tell you to pound sand (okposo and a 2). Its hard to say today, but i would think mccabe is the pick for seattle.
