Description

Third Expansion picks w/ draft and FA
If I'm Francis I mix a young team with veterans to compete this year but also built for future. I also would try and leave plenty of cap space to add big time players in the future.
Trades and Signings might not be accurate but I wanted to have fun
The Beniers contract is 3 years, not 1 like the website says.

Free Agent Signings

CREATED		YEARS	CAP HIT
Beniers, Matty		1	$950,000
Hamilton, Dougie		4	$9,500,000

Trades

SEA

Guhle, Brendan

ANA

Fleury or Guhle here. I go Guhle.

SEA

Hill, Adin

ARI

Adin Hill looks like a good goalie. Not sure why other mocks have Pitlick here but Hill could be ready for a 1A 1B role with another goalie

SEA

Lauzon, Jérémy

BOS

Either Lauzon or Zboril. Both young D with some promise. Lauzon is the selection.

SEA

Thompson, Tage

BUF

Slim Pickings. Thompson is young and can be used for a trade chip or depth.

SEA

Kylington, Oliver

CGY

Would be a tough decision between Kylington and Gio. If it were me, I would chose the much younger Kylington as I can find a better veteran DMan in FA and possibly for a cheaper price.

SEA

Skjei, Brady

CAR

Pretty easy selection. Bean is protected in this mock and Skjei is the best player available. He would likely be a Top 2 Dman on SEA. Foegele is another possible selecion nut Skjei is too tempting to pass up.

SEA

Murphy, Connor

CHI

Either Stillman or Murphy are protected. If Stillman is protected, Murphy is a solid pick.

SEA

Graves, Ryan

COL

Another easy selection. Graves might be even better on SEA with expanded role. If COL decided to go 4-4 and protect Graves Jost or Compher would be selected.

SEA

Robinson, Eric

CBJ

An interesting team to watch for this summer. If Jones is traded before the Expansion draft (which would be smart), they can protect Kukan. This is why Robinson is the pick.

10.

SEA

Faksa, Radek

DAL

Assuming Dallas protects Dickinson over Faksa, Faksa is a pretty easy selection.

11.

SEA

Svechnikov, Evgeny

DET

Another team with not a lot to offer. Svech is an easy pick.

12.

SEA

Klefbom, Oscar

EDM

Will be interesting to see if Klefbom can be selected or not. Assuming Larsson gets his deal he will be protected over Klefbom making Klefbom the pick. If Klefbom is exposed then I select Kahun.

13.

SEA

Driedger, Chris

FLA

Driedger gets signed after the Draft

14.

SEA

Grundström, Carl

LAK

Assuming LA goes 4-4 I select Grundstrom. If they chose 7-3 then I take Clauge.

15.

SEA

Soucy, Carson
2021 1st round pick (PIT)

MIN

Minnesota would want to keep Dumba. Minnesota disposes PIT's 1st so Seattle stays away from Dumba and gets an underrated dman.

16.

SEA

Byron, Paul
Drouin, Jonathan
2021 2nd round pick (TBL)

MTL

2021 4th round pick (SEA)

Additional Details:

MTL wants Byron gone as he's cleared waivers numerous times. They also have a mess in Jonathan Drouin. Byron will be the selection as MTL sends a 2nd for him to be taken. They also trade Drouin for a 4th.

17.

SEA

Johansen, Ryan
2022 1st round pick (NSH)

NSH

Underachieving Johansen is taken for a 1st for the bad contract.

18.

SEA

Merkley, Nick

NJD

Not a lot of options

19.

SEA

Leddy, Nick

NYI

Big contract but a good defensman to add.

20.

SEA

Howden, Brett

NYR

Only the real option here

21.

SEA

Tierney, Chris

OTT

Might excel in SEA

22.

SEA

Patrick, Nolan

PHI

Needs a fresh start. May or may not be protected over JVR.

23.

SEA

McCann, Jared

PIT

If I'm Hextall no way I let McCann be available. Only reason I selected him is because rumors are is that Tanev and Carter will be protected.

24.

SEA

Gambrell, Dylan

SJS

Hometown kid. Many people want Burns to be the selection but I think its best to go cheap and get your face of the franchise from FA or somewhere else.

25.

SEA

Blais, Samuel

STL

St. Louis is in a tough spot. They need to trade Dunn quickly after the playoffs otherwise they will lose him for free. I think they do trade him and Seattle gets a good fast young forward.

26.

SEA

Gourde, Yanni

TBL

Another team in a tough spot. They really need to shed cap. They could go 4-4 if they want to relieve cap space and they lose a good forward in Gourde.

27.

SEA

Kerfoot, Alexander

TOR

Either Holl or Kerfoot. Toronto chooses.

28.

SEA

Motte, Tyler

VAN

Tough to predict VAN rn. Just don't select Holtby

29.

SEA

Vanecek, Vitek

WSH

I think Oshie will be protected. SEA gets a solid goalie with a cheap cap hit for one more year.

30.

SEA

Appleton, Mason

WPG

Lowry will be protected so it's between Copp and Appleton

31.

SEA

2021 3rd round pick (BUF)

NYR

Klefbom, Oscar

32.

SEA

Marchenko, Kirill [Reserve List]
2022 4th round pick (TOR)

CBJ

Leddy, Nick

33.

SEA

Kuznetsov, Evgeny

WSH

Kerfoot, Alexander
2021 1st round pick (PIT)
2022 4th round pick (TOR)

Blues might trade away some draft capitol to keep some players and manage things easily.

Would be cool if Beniers went by 'Matty' in the NHL

Here's hoping 🤞

I appreciate you getting the ball rolling

If Seattle are lucky enough to get Kleffer they gotta retain when they trade him as it fits their timeline and augments the return to become significant

Also reducing the impact of his precarity

That was a unique sentence

Would be funny and fascinating if they played 3 decided playmakers together by putting RJO on 1RW what would their stats look like etc. 🤔

Montreal doesnt do that at all, we put byron on waivers for working around max cap so we could add players to the roster, we know no1 takes byron at 3.4m so it was the easiest person to use. We also dont want to get rid of Drouin for a 4th lol
