Seattle

Created by: tmm7
Team: 2020-21 Custom Team
Initial Creation Date: Apr. 18, 2021
Published: Apr. 18, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
It's still early, but here's what I have.

I have COL, DAL, PHI, STL, TBL, and TOR trading picks/prospects in order to protect extra players in their current cores.

On paper this team is much weaker than Vegas, but I think some teams have learned their lessons. The extra picks and prospects they'll have should help them fill out this team. Also considering the extended flat cap.

What did Van pay for Seattle to take Holtby??

You're missing Minn in the trade depart. And Buffalo. And Nash. And Arz. And Win. And Edm. And Mon...

Who do they expose for Fast? Nino? Backlund > Dube especially for a team that challenges for a playoff spot.

I dont think any of them trade assets to protect their players. Girgensons? Pitlick? Appleton? Shore? Kulak? Seriously. All those teams would survive without them... Holtby also just needs a defense.

its very unlikely avs trade picks or prospects to protect guys on their roster, they dont care they need to lose a 3m salary in Compher Donskoi or Graves. Seattle will pick 1 of the 3 and the team moves on

Graves is solid tho, and Donskoi has been legit this year. I think they might consider it.

Nino or Foegele probably for the Canes. For Calgary, Lucic likely waives. Dube's a 22 sophomore playing in the top 6, he's definitely not being exposed

They are losing good players no matter what and in a flat cap they need to lose a good player just so they can afford to keep landeskog grubauer and sign makar

They aren’t going to give up picks and prospects to keep graves or donskoi and lose landeskog or grubauer bc they won’t be acme to afford to pay them

I mean they could trade Kadri and others to save money for FAs. There is maneuvering they would do.

If Lucic waives then it would change things, but I would be surprised. He is a Canadian after all.

they dont have a 2C. Again they are not going to weaken their roster or mess around trying to protect Graves who is a 3rd pairing dman and Donskoi who is a middle 6 fwd when cap space is at a premium and they have internal prospects that they can promote to take their spots if they are picked.

Avs need Seattle to take one of those contracts, its a pretty simple expansion draft for them

I mean they are the cup favorites, they should probably try to hold onto anyone. You mortgage the future for a cup run. Flat cap also means players will ask for less.

It it widely believed that Lucic had a handshake agreement to waive and Treliving in turn respected and kept his NMC in the Neal swap. Lucic isn't going to be claimed by Seattle anyways so there's that too

There are like 80 better selections you could make to get to the floor here.

Seattle isn't tanking in the expansion, they want to make the playoffs in year 1 and establish a legitimate fanbase
