Had him as a 2nd too, now though he’s late/undrafted

775k I believe

That's a great team friendly deal for the Rangers. He's a bottom-6 caliber player, so it's great to get him back on a cheap deal.

Since Danault is testing the open market, I'm guessing he'll end up anywhere with good Pizza.

So are there any players that have already been confirmed protected for the Expansion Draft? Or teams that have released their protection lists early?

I think he's going to Seattle

The Penguins protection list is basically confirmed.

NY 👀

Edler is hitting open market per his agent. Despite the age is a capable shutdown guy in a reduced role on a contender. Could see Colorado taking a swing for some veteran presence on that Blue line

Benning at it again I see

Also day 999 of Marner trending for no ****ing reason LUL (people honestly got to stop with this ****). The kid is 24 and is only gonna get better aging like a fine Wine. Hyman is soon gonna be 30yrs old soon and if he got 5 mill for 6 years that contract would age like Milk.

NHL releases the lists on the 18th but Pens list is rumoured to be done

Exactly what I'm thinking. It's simply the best. They're a bit shy of centers too, so it makes a ton of sense for them.

Also created a thread specifically for Seattle expansion lists talk that will be updated throughout the 18th with the list as they are revealed

Boston. Im calling it now. Bergeron successor in 2 years or Vegas revenge story (basically they steal him to make up for them losing to MTL in the playoffs lul)

He may end up back in Montreal, we aren’t overpaying him and if no one is he’ll have to realize Montreal may be his best option

gonna either be one of those 7th round lets wait and see or potential undrafted steals

Alex Ovechkin says he's still negotiating his contract. There is a possibility he returns to Russia - Greg Wyshynski

wow I doubt Washington lets him go tho

Ovi either resigns with Washington or goes to Russia but imo he has to Stays in Washington

I could see him leaving later on in his nhl career. If Washington starts rebuilding however right now I agree its either Washington or Russia for him

Just Reviewing who I think the Canes should protect.

Forwards:
Sebastian Aho
Teuvo Teravainen
Andrei Svechnikov
Vincent Trocheck
Jordan Staal
Nino Niederreiter
Jesper Fast

Defense:
Jaccob Slavin
Brett Pesce
Jake Bean

Goaltender:
Alex Nedeljkovic (but if we don't resign him for whatever reason then I guess we protect Helvig)

He's gonna stay just to beat the goal record. I can't imagine him leaving for Russia this soon, but maybe after he retires he will.

I still can’t believe the pens are going to expose McCann , he was a top 50 player this season

Hey guys odd request here

Whoever sent out all the important dates of the offseason last week, could you please send it again?

I’m curious and can’t find it lol

I agree that he should stay. Maybe sign a 10x4 deal then go to Russia

@Dzinger18

Geekie 1 year contract 750k
