Out of this world scenario

Created by: SevenLeg
Team: 2021-22 Arizona Coyotes
Initial Creation Date: Dec. 8, 2021
Published: Dec. 8, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Let's say Arizona files for bankruptcy and there's an "expansion draft" in which all teams can pick assets from the team based on their average regular-season standings # over the last two seasons.

1. Seattle is granted the #1 pick
2. All drafts picks are forfeited
3. Some sort of cap cushion is put in place for the team going over the salary cap with their pick. - the said player doesn't count against the cap as long as he is part of the team he was picked by and is still signed to the same contract.

Always love your ideas for posts lol, you seem to put a lot more thought into interesting hypothetical scenarios or analysis of situations than a lot of people on this site and I just want to say I appreciate the effort, always a great read.

                                                                                                                      With that said, I think Ottawa should do everything in their power to trade up and get Guenther lol. There's actually a chance he slips too, I could see Buffalo being interested in Soderstrom (as a partner for Power, Dahlin-Jokihharju / Power-Soderstrom is insane, and they already have Quinn/Tuch/Peterka for RWers) or NJ being interested in Soderstrom too (right now their best D prospects are all lefties, and while Hamilton is around forever, Severson might not be a long term guy so Soderstrom would fit nicely with Luke Hughes or Ty Smith). Regardless, if we don't get Guenther and Keller is the other top 3 pick, I think Ottawa snags Soderstrom just because he's higher end than any of our current RD prospects, and looks significantly better than Hayton right now. Chabot-Zub / Sanderson-Soderstrom is nuts. And it would also make JBD or Thomson expendable as trade bait for Boeser or something.

                                                                                                                      "3. Some sort of cap cushion is put in place for the team going over the salary cap with their pick. - the said player doesn't count against the cap as long as he is part of the team he was picked by and is still signed to the same contract."

                                                                                                                      Naw, dawg. That should not fly. I mean, it would barely come up with this roster, but still.
