Thread: Seattles Expansion Draft full roster I used DAL bc they had all their picks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>clapperzzz11</b></div><div>Mostly sounds good, but LA will protect Lizotte. He's on ELC and had a good season. They can exposed a lot of other player.
Eriksson Ek stay in MIN especially with their offseason this year, they can't let him go. They already lost Haula and Tuch in the previous expansion draft. They'll not repeat the same error.
Kraken have a lot of better option in MTL. Juuslen and Mete will be available, same for Edmundson or Chiarot. Also they can take Tatar or Armia and try to get deal done before UFA.
NJD doesn't have to retain en Subban. I'll have one year left and I think he can be a good guess. If not, Devils can keep him and reach floor cap hit.
Flyers doesn't pay York + 1st for JVR. I think he can be one of the best pick in this expansion draft if he bounce back this year. If not, Ghostisbehere is another option with 2 years left on his deal.
If Caps were to loose Oshie, they just not protect him and he'll be pick by Seattle without getting picks or player</div></div>

wasn't too familiar with Lizotte or LA in general--any other players that would be good options?
MIN fan said JEE would b available.....maybe someone else???
MTL was a tough one for sure....
agree on PHI/WSH

My initial thought was "RNH ain't signing here...", but the more I think about it, if his #1 priority is money, Seattle might be one of a very select few teams that are willing to spend next offseason. I think it's a stretch, for sure, but I think the likelihood of them signing a solid UFA is higher than previous expansion teams.

Ducks-wise, I think someone already mentioned it, but I can't imagine the Ducks paying to move Kesler. I could see them moving Mahura and a 3rd to avoid losing someone like Lundestrom though.

Leafs-wise, no need for Sandin and a 4th. Even if the goal was to keep Kerfoot (I can't imagine it's the #1 priority...his value is probably pretty similar to Dermott's, and they could probably fill the 3C hole cheaper if that was an issue), it should cost more than a 3rd or 4th + Dermott to keep him.

I don't think Philly would send York and a 1st to move JVR, but maybe? Carter Hart and Travis Sanheim are their only two major contracts to sign, and they should have space to fill out the roster. JVR is still reasonably productive, and is only signed for 2 more years post expansion draft. I'm 50/50 on this one...depends on how the teams finances are looking I guess.

For Vancouver, Seattle would be able to take Holtby for nothing (Assuming the team protects Demko). With a $6 mil cap hit (And $4 mil owed), and with how hard it seems to be to move contracts around right now, I think it'll take no less than a 1st to get them to take Loui. </div></div>

RNH--yeah it's just a shot in the dark, but I kinda feel SEA needs a couple big names or at least big personalities, and with RNH, Holtby, Subban, they kinda do that....VGK got some diamonds in the rough, but they got a bunch of great players too.... and Fleury was the face of their franchise...

ANA--nice point. ANA isn't going anywhere, and I wasn't too familiar with their prospects...

TOR-yeah some people have mentioned that. I may be underrating Dermott a bit and leafs fans may be overrating him a bit lol :)

PHI--again, not too familiar with the prospect York but JVR's contract is gonna be awful in a year or two....I laughed when it was signed...prob costs less though....

VAN--again, a good point. and VAN will need prob over 15M to sign Pettersson/Hughes

Thread: Seattles Expansion Draft full roster I used DAL bc they had all their picks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></div><div>Interesting... and to answer your question, I would love for them to pick Neal. Honestly I think it may come at a expense unless they have to reach the cap floor, or does outstanding this year. Now I would never pay with Nuge, as he is just too good. You can only pick one player so... how about Benson, and Skinner for you guys to take Neal. Giving you two prospects that need protection that could be good.</div></div>

sorry if there was a misunderstanding.....I signed RNH out of UFA (also Andy Greene as depth on D) prob shouldn't have.....I thought it might confuse people......so the payment from EDM rn as I had it was just the first round pick...now SEA might like a couple prospects as opposed to picks bc they have to fill out a minor league team in a year of two....

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>My guess is NYI dump Ladd for a 1st.
And CGY Lucic for a 1st.

Seattle could get up to 5 1st rounders pretty easy.

TB isn't going to take GY.
That contract is dead weight. They will take Palate before that. TB goes 4 and 4. Most likely they give up a 1st or 2nd for Seattle to take someone as opposed to them taking Maroon.

I don't see Seattle trying to win now. They can clearly build for the long haul quickly here.</div></div>
nice ideas. yeah there's a TON of cap dumps and big payoffs SEA can take. also a ton of good young talent...I think SEA could do a 3-5 year plan and sell fans on that....they're already sold out so as long as the product is exciting it'll be fine....

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>If Bennett has a good year we'll give up a small amount to protect him and lose Kylington. We're super deep on LD long term (Hanifin and Valimaki should be long term top 4 guys, with Mackey, Kuznetsov, and Poirier on the way) so we can afford to lose him.

He probably mentioned a bunch of people then edited the post so that it wasn't just a long list of names, but the ping remains for anyone tagged. One of the Leafs fans on here does this all the time, tags like half the accounts ever created on every thread.</div></div>

Kylington would still be a nice get for SEA I think.

your theory is correct....
and I didn't tag THAT many people lol.....

Thread: Seattles Expansion Draft full roster I used DAL bc they had all their picks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>-Calgary is probably protecting Dube. Seattle is likely to get Bennett, or a pick (like a 4th) to take Kylington
-No way the Leafs trade Sandin, Dermott's probably the most likely choice anyway. If they really want to lose Dermott and ensure they keep Holl, it wouldn't cost more than a C prospect I'd imagine. I'd think Kerfoot is protected in their 7 (Matthews/Marner/Tavares/Nylander/Kerfoot/Engvall/Anderson, with Hyman replacing Engvall if he resigns prior to the expansion draft) so there's not really an appealing forward (only Brooks and maybe Engvall)
-It'll probably cost Vancouver a 2nd at least to get Seattle to take Eriksson (he's not LTIR)
-I've heard Tampa won't be protecting 4 D, so Seattle probably snags one of Cernak/Foote. If they do protect 4D, the best forward left unprotected would be Palat
-I don't think Philly is willing to part with York right now, even to dump JVR

Overall pretty solid, the expansion draft should be a lot of fun, and the Kraken will honestly probably become my 3rd favourite team right away lol</div></div>

thanks for the feedback.
CGY-makes sense.
TOR-yeah been over that already lol
VAN-even better for SEA then...
TBL--see VAN
PHI--yeah I was just searching for a random prospect...maybe one lesser down or a pick like a 2nd?

thanks!!! I think so too!!!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>Take out Sandin (and the 4th), then it's good for the leafs. The leafs are not looking to give up a guy who can't be taken by the kraken and is still on his elc. A 4th doesn't cut it. But Dermott is the most likely pick for the kraken.

All in all though, you nailed it. Very solid expansion draft proposal.</div></div>

yeah I get you 100%...

when making this a fan suggested the leafs would prefer to keep both kerfoot and Holl, which were my first thoughts, so I thought giving Dermott + a prospect would be ok for the leafs as they seemingly have alot of 3rd pair LHD... is there a lesser prospect maybe that would work???

thanks. Seattle might be my new 2nd fav team if they get a haul like VGK....we say GMs have learned their lessons but IDK there's alot of good players/cap dumps available...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>You think the Leafs are giving Seattle Sandin to take a close to league min contract in Dermott who's already the odds on favorite to be picked by the Kraken? I'm curious of your thinking here because it doesn't make very much sense. It's not a salary cap move, it's not a move protecting another player, it's just gifting them a good player for nothing.</div></div>
