Team: 2020-21 Seattle Kraken

Initial Creation Date: Apr. 25, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

For this exercise, just for fun, I'm saying all players 23 and older are protected on every team, and each team can protect five of their players 22 and under. This would not include 2021 entry draftees. This would obviously cause cap issues for Seattle 2-3 years from the draft, but they could also re-use some players as trade pieces.

This is really just for fun because I always love doing NHL rebuilds on my PS4 (when I had it and didn't have to sell it :'((( ) by putting together a super young roster. Below I've included who would be protected for each team. I know a lot but I'm not intimate with every team's prospect pool, so please go easy on me if I've made any fatal errors.
