My Realistic Dream Scenario with Expansion Draft

Created by: behale8

Team: 2021-22 Dallas Stars

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 14, 2021

Published: Jun. 14, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

- Keeping the Robo, Pavs and Hintz line together.
- Keeping Benn at Center, where he thrived this season.
- Adding Armia to help with Kivi and Dellandrea (Armia because he's affordable and has a good plus-minus, which is important on your fourth line).
- Khudobin to a team (anyone outside the Central Division, honestly) for a 4th-rounder, but the deal is sweetened with a 3rd-rounder next year.
- Heiskanen deal is lower than might be expected, but Nill has been able to make great deals in the past, and I think it is a fair deal for both sides.
- These signings keep your defense in place and add some much needed scoring depth veterans.

I’m curious don’t y’all like Faksa for his defensive game and PK abilities?

It's a question of chosing between Dickinson and Faksa. I would rather keep Dickinson but my guess is that Nill will protect Faksa.

He just gave him a 5 years contract.

His defensive play & PK abilities are significantly overrated by most Stars fans because he finished 7th in Selke voting 3 years ago. If you look at his advanced metrics, he was out performed by Dickinson, Cogliano, and Comeau over the last season. I don't dislike Faksa, but he's not playing anywhere near his 5-year contract. I try to get out from that contract ASAP, especially since Dickinson & Dellandrea can already replace him.

Could not have said it any better. There's also the potential that Seattle takes Faksa because he DOES have that contract, as a certain amount of the players they select have to be under contract. I would definitely protect Dickinson over Faksa.

My protection list for Dallas would be Seguin, Benn, Radulov, Pavelski, Gurianov, Hintz, Dickinson for the Forwards. Heiskanen, Klingberg and Lindell for Defense, and Bishop for goaltender.

Unless Dallas signs one of Dowling, Cogliano, or Comeau to a new contract, Dallas is going to have to leave Faksa exposed in the expansion draft. If they protect Faksa over Dickinson, they only have 1 of 2 forwards that meet the NHL's expansion draft requirements. The only other options are Pavelski, Hintz, and Gurianov & there's no shot Dallas exposes any of those 3.

As it stands right now, Faksa has to be the forward exposed in the expansion draft & I'm perfectly fine with that.
