Could get more for Kyrou if it's the blues tbh.

Lol why Kyrou would be unprotected and why a 3rd?

St. Louis: hey Seattle here’s some picks to take Clifford.
Seattle: OK

Exactly! It will be either Samuel Blais, Ivan Barbashev, Zachary Sanford, or Oskar Sundqvist depending on who you protect with that 7th slot, because I’m thinking,

O’Reilly, Tarasenko, Schenn, Perron, Thomas, Kyrou, then one of those guys.

Right, but if the GMs learned anything with Vegas, its that you can't give them a **** ton of picks, it creates a crazy imbalance in the expansion team's direction. I think we will see more side deals where teams that have exta protection spots open, will make trades with teams with too many legit NHL players to protect.

Maybe, but a lot of teams will be in tough with the expansion draft, too many legit NHL forwards, not enough protection slots.

Something has to give, either Seattle is gifted picks to take someone else, or GMs learned their lesson from the Vegas expansion

Any team would rather give away picks over giving away a young decent player

Blues are not in jeopardy of losing Kyrou.

Hamonic is not going to get that much. Considering he only wants to play in Western Canada his negotiation power is severely limited. That being said it is Jim Benning so...Nice Realistic AAV!

Well Tarasenko didn't make the games threshold so he doesn't have to be protected anymore. That opens a slot for them.

I think he does... or at least according to the cap friendly expansion draft tool he does. If not then that’s great!

Check again. He has 3 games remaining to be eligible
There's a column on the right side that is checked if eligible. Since Blues have one left, he won't be allowed. Hasn't played in 29 games this year or last due to injury (it was 40 but NHL changed the rule).

You are so right! I apologize... I was very sure that he met the requirements. Which two out of those four would you protect?

For me I choose Sunny and Barbashev. Those two are such a huge part of the bottom 6 and PK. I would be more than happy to let Sanford go. Blais I like, but he's not a significant piece for the team.

Your logic makes zero sense. So we give away Kyrou for a joke of a pick only to turn around and lose someone else during the expansion draft. So we lose two players for a 3rd? ???

Like the bridges to QH/EP40 - good management there.
Who do you have going to the exp-STARBUCKS?

Kyrou will be protected, obviously. And even if he wasn't, that offer is a total joke. At least make an effort, man.
