I believe exposed list is larger depending on the service time this season, correct me if I’m wrong but I believe Stanley going to be available

I would protect Appleton over Harkins

I pretty sure stanely is not protected

Seattle probably taking Stanley, was questioning a wheeler asked to waive and going 4/4 but if heinola/samberg worth the hype there probably isn’t room for Stanley on lhd anyway. Tough to lose a 6-7 monster 22 year old, that is starting to come into his own.

Not on the same page there, don’t think Appleton has half the potential Harkins does

Will be pretty interesting but I really think a lot comes down to Copp. If he signs a long term extension obviously you protect him, but if he says he wants to test UFA after next year I think you protect Harkins and Appleton and they take Copp.

When I do mock drafts it seems like they'll have a lot of good options on D, but less so at forward. Getting top 6 centers are nearly impossible, so would Stastney be of interest to them as a UFA they need to sign?

I also think if Berdin has a great year he's a real candidate for them too.

If they do take Stanley that would be too bad, but LHD is our deepest spot so we can absorb the loss of a LHD, even if he is a giant.

No way, Appleton is a 4th liner, Harkins is a much better player, they really need to start getting Harkins more ice time.

Appleton with Copp and Lowry is a great shutdown line that Harkins will never be part of as he doesn't show that...just a little bit of offence. Appleton also plays on the PK. He is more valuable than Harkins

Appleton hasn't done a thing this season, he's headed for the press box soon if he doesn't get going.

I like Appleton, but Harkins has shown a bit more as of late. He could be the future 2 way 3C.

At least, would love to see Harkins in the top 2 lines for a bit.. think he has top 6 potential
