WASHINGTON gets the better sniper and player. He could have a very good season playing with better players and also be a trade chip at the deadline if the team is out of the playoffs.
MONTREAL gets the younger, bigger body and "never reached his potential" <em>FRENCH</em> player and takes this final chance he finally turns his career around...

I will give RF the benefit of the doubt. I am sure the team will look nowhere like it currently does when the season starts.
But I am still scratching my head to the fact that not even one package was acquired by RF in the expansion draft... It looks like they simply selected 30 players.
Since then I know he's traded Pitlick for a 2022 4th, but that so far is really slim pickings...
Maybe something happens tonight at the entry Draft, but gotta say I am not overly hopeful right now.
Also I know they selected Donskoi and not Compher, but I have a feeling that they'll trade Donskoi before Oct.23rd and therefore you'll have your wish of not having Donskoi on the team 😉
*As a side note, If the schedule stays as it is, I just noticed that Seattle, after receiving the Canucks for their Home Opener, will be receiving the Canadiens as their second team. Will really be an intense start!
And finally, thanks for your awesome comments 😎

Right. I like the team you iced. But as more and more is leaking out, RF will not be signing these players at their full cap hits. Or will be taking in a very interesting package in addition. Basically, Seattle's entry is probably what is going to be saving the league. Teams are truly desperate for cap relief... Seattle and RF are going to be very smart with this opportunity.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>There’s a cap floor that you have to reach you know…. What’s the point of being so cheap?</div></div>
Alot of the discussion's I've had on this in the last 24 hours are trending towards RF would be seeking to having as little spent cap space as possible, to afterwards "bleed" the other teams that are desperate for cap relief...
For example, instead of simply selecting Johansen at 8M in the draft, he'll negotiate a package with DP where Seattle probably takes Johansen with retained salary and also gets additionnal assets from the preds. No other team either has the cap space to pull this off, or has the available spending money...
I mean look, Nashville is willing to just give Johansen. St-louis the same with Tarasenko. Philly is also "giving" James van Riemsdyk. The teams are dying for cap space...
Therefore, the team out of the Seattle expansion draft will nowhere be near the team that will be iced on the opener...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OlegP</b></div><div>I personally think the biggest deficiency is clearly center when looking at all the good wingers available, great goalies and pretty good puck movers. I count Gourde, Johansen, Duchene, Kerfoot, Henrique and maybe McCann as the only real decent ones. Hell, St Louis actually protected Barbachev at center (tho i know that had a little to do with exposing Tarasenko instead).
Johansen would be quite the favour to Nashville when you could probably trade for him at no cost. Why not just grab Trenin or Ingram or Jarnkrok? Its the same as Tarasenko. There's little value in taking Tarasenko full cap hit in expansion when you can trade a few picks for his full cap hit. Thats why i think it's paramount that Seattle stays close to the minimum cap projection on expansion draft day. That way you can accumulate picks and prospects to trade for Tarasenko and Johansen at little cost. The most valuable asset Seattle has is cap space and Ron Francis has repeated this fact many times.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>They'll be somewhere between 50-60M so they can be a salary cap broker or team that can take on salary dumps.</div>
If your talking about the "Draft Cap Hit", that number is not even a real number. If for example Seattle chooses a player that has an ending SPC this year, but that player had already signed a new extension with his "club", his "Draft Cap Hit" won't be the cap hit of his new extension, but will be the cap hit of his expiring contract. For Example, take a look at Miro Heiskanen. His "Draft Cap Hit" is 900k, but his actual Cap Hit will be 8.5M!
When the rules where decided, this was put in place so that GM's could not artificially inflate the value of a player by having him sign a "bloated" 1 year extension right before the draft to overvalue said player. But in doing this, Seattle's actual team cap hit will have nothing to do with this irrelevant "Draft Cap Hit". Jake Allen would of been an exception, as he signed an extension for which his cap hit is lower than his previous cap hit. Allen's actual cap hit would of been lower than said "Draft Cap Hit". But since Montreal protected Allen, this is moot.
And concerning NHL teams real cap , these are the official numbers:
Upper Limit = $81.5 Million
Lower Limit = $60.2 Million
So Seattle can't be between 50 and 60 like you said. They must be above the lower Limit (by season start of course).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jim_Benning_Almost</b></div><div>Interesting perspective on this team <a href="/users/MacAttacks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@MacAttacks</a>, and thanks for putting real thought into it. I like reading the thought process into things.
Only playerss that stand out to me are:
1) Drouin obviously. I would think that RF is reaching out to Danault for same/similar money to take him instead.
2) Alex Wennberg. I just don't like how he plays, and think there are better for the same price.
3) Jared McCann. I'd take Kerfoot instead, he's better and fills your Wennberg hole.
4) Joonas Donaski. He would be my second pick from Colorado. I would take JT Compher instead.
5) Dougie Hamilton. He's a great player, but I just couldn't see my way clear to 8 x $9M.
6) I think Dunn and Larsson are slightly overpaid as free agents.
Overall, great list. If I were RF, I'd keep $6 - $8M of cap space available for trade deadline dumps and to re-sign some RFAs next year. I think this Kraken team could make the playoffs, and could afford to rent a player or two.</div></div>
Hey, thanks for your comments.
So I will also take the time to answer back 😎
1) I agree RF is touching base with Danault. Quick math: For a 5MX6, Danault would make ~13M in Seattle instead of ~10M for that same contract in Montreal (after escrow, agent fees and income tax). Montreal has the highest Income tax rate of the entire league and Seattle will now share the lowest rate with 5 other teams: DAL,NSH,VEG,FLA and TB. So if Danault is "stuck" at 5M per season maximum because of the flat cap, then at least he can take in an extra 3M being in Seattle... As you can see for those other 5 teams: VEG has no cap space, TB we wont even talk about... That would leave FLA, NSH and DAL. They won't have as good a team as Seattle. So very possible Danault chooses Seattle. But it's still not a lock, he might want to stay in Montreal "if" they can upper the ante. But I agree the mountain hike is pretty steep...
2) I agree Wennberg is not the ideal candidate, but the jury is still out... (see my other answers below)
3) For Kerfoot, I agree with you that I like alot of his playing. There is one key element missing in his play... I think if you are to be a #2 center on a strong contending team, you have to also be able to win more than half your faceoffs. Here are Kerfoot stats for this season:
Player Team FO% FO Games FO per game
Alexander Kerfoot TOR 40.8% 304 56 5.4
So for FO%, he isn't even in the top 100 of the league. If you count that there are 31 other teams, that means that on average there are 3+ centers better than him on FO on every team.
I just don't think you can be a bona fide #2 center with such a low number.
Also Kerfoot's size is on the smallish side, and out west you better be ready for Rock n' roll...
That put's him in probably as a #3 center. But in that case, I prefer McCann's size and versatility as my #3 LW, and he costs less than Kerfoot. But it's close.
4) For Donskoi, I agree with the switch to Compher. Nice suggestion. Approved
5) Getting a #1 right-handed RD is probably the hardest position to fill on the roster. Right-handed is much less abundant than left-handed, so that also costs a premium. Just for the fun of it, take a look at the players most GM's protected in the expansion draft. In the slots left to fill after the obvious superstars each team had to protect, GM's protected their big right-handed players (Except Pierre Dorion who protected Victor Mete as his 3rd defenseman, but he always does things out of sync... 🤣 It's as if other GM's just don't talk to him?!) So back to Hamilton. I have to think it is a blessing that Hamilton is a UFA at the same time that Seattle is coming in... My take is this: RF does not have a choice, he must sign Hamilton "whatever it takes" He will be the team leader and will normally be the highest paid player on the team. (Also, re: my Danault comments on income tax. If Hamilton wants the most money, Seattle is it. He can only get 8 years from Carolina or Seattle, and will pay less taxes in Seattle. RF should be able to get him.)
6) Yup, I agree. I can lower Dunn as he is RFA and not UFA. Larsson on the other hand is touchy as he is UFA. By how much? .5M ? Let me know for both and I will adjust.
7) If you have other ideas for a Wennberg replacement or more suggestions overall, I'm listening.
And would be glad to hear your opinion on my comments.
8) Your name and especially your picture are just cruel... LOL!
Cheers! 🍺🍺

Habs wanted to lose Juulsen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>Adding to this^
Putting him on waivers now was the best timing to improve his chances to go through unclaimed. Teams on full roster, caps maxed out, low number of injuries and the longest list of waived players ever...
If the scout who worked to draft him for Montreal wasn't working for FLA now, he wouldn’t have been claimed...
Keeping him on the bench for some games and sending him down to the AHL later would had been even more risky.</div></div>
I guess it all comes down to that famous "taking a chance"... Hindsight is 20/20 right?
But still, Bergevin has a huge team with him to prevent him from making these sort of "errors".
I just have a hard time understanding why they thought losing him for nothing was better than keeping him with the club.
The amount of work and developpement invested in him for the last 5.5 years has all just gone up in smoke !

They knew there was a chance he could get claimed. Between losing him for nothing or developing him with the big club, the choice is obvious...
They must think he will not make it as an NHLer. If he does have an NHL career, this will be another first round pick "gaffe" by the GM...

Larkinisking ,
for the bridge deal, Take a look at Galchenyuk.
MTL signed him to a 2 year bridge deal only 3 years ago. And the deal was for AAV of 2.8
Take a look at their points numbers. Pretty similar at the same age. And Chucky is an overall 3rd pick. Mantha is an overall 20th pick...
A 2 year bridge at 3.25 per year looks pretty sound to me...
