I hope Dubas does a trade like this but it looks unlikely at the moment.

If you're exposing Tanev, who are you protecting so that you have to trade McCann instead of exposing him?

It seems to me that you'd be protecting Crosby, Malkin, Guentzel, Rust, Tanev, Kapanen and McCann, exposing Zucker, Carter, Sceviour and Aston-Reese.

Grundstrom and 2nd, but Zucker would only be an option if they miss out on all the free agents, Taranseko, and Killorn.

They protect Blueger over McCann.

It doesn't matter, they have cut a deal. They don't have a choice but to. They are so tight against the cap.

they wouldn't expose Tanev.
People on here are poor evaluators of talent.
You need guys like tanev to win, especially in the playoffs. If Tanev were exposed he'd be taken.

The trick in the expansion draft is to get a team to take who you want them to take. Who they want them to take is one of either Matheson, Zucker, or McCann.
Realistically they have already cut a deal. But even if they didn't odds are Seattle probably looks at it in that order.
They need to take 9 defensemen. Some of which they will trade.
Matheson, fits into probably the top 4 they can take. He's a puck mover with offensive upside and speed. There isn't much of that in the expansion draft.
If a team had to choose between Zucker and McCann they probably take Zucker. Who is more consistent. Seattle will need scoring wingers. So if they pass up on Defense, they take a scoring winger.
If they want points, and they don't take Zucker than it's McCann.

Yeah definitely wishful thinking. There isn’t a single team in the league that’s going to give you two 2nds for Pettersson.

Graves was one of the best defensive defensemen in the league, definitely a more appealing asset than Pettersson and only yielded a late 2nd this year.
