Additional Details:
I could see Seattle going any direction on this, but I have them taking Backlund because I think they'll struggle to get really good forwards. The Flames shouldn't do any sign and trade to protect assets, because either way, they're getting the cap space which they can use to replace X player. If the Kraken go with one of the defencemen it makes it a lot easier as the Flames don't need to find a new C, so I just went with the hardest situation possible.
With this team, my protection list would look like this:
Forwards: Tkachuk, Mangiapane, Dube, Lindholm, Chytil, Patrick, Konecny
Defenceman: Dunn, Andersson, Hanifan
Goalie: Markstrom
Notable Exposed: Backlund, Giordano, Gostisbehere
ALL MOVES AFTER THIS ARE POST EXPANSION DRAFT
