Quoting: Smitty426
Who do you have going to Seattle?
Sort of helps to know.
Also no Goose, so I guess you moved him at the tdl, what did u get for him?
I assumed he'd either be traded or he'd walk at the end of the year. What we could get for him probably depends a lot on how he plays going forward, so I'm not gonna try and guess one way or the other. Probably just a few picks and prospects.
In terms of Seattle, if we go with the 7-3-1 protection scheme, we could protect:
Johnsson, Bratt, Nico, Palmieri, Zacha, Wood, McLeod (Hughes, Holtz, Foote, and Mercer are exempt)
Severson, Murray, Butcher (Smith and Bahl are exempt)
Blackwood
So of people I have listed on the active roster, Bastian and Subban would be the only ones exposed. Personally I could see them taking a Boqvist or a Kuokkanen over Bastian, so idk if it would affect things too much. In an ideal world they could take Subban as a "face of the franchise" type thing, but the cap hit might be prohibitive. Even if they don't though, he's looked ok this year and it wouldn't be the end of the world if he finishes his contract here.
