The Sicatoka Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 There's not much else to do this summer, so let's guess what GM Ron Francis and HC Dave Hakstol will do. Seattle expansion draft process: https://www.nhl.com/news/seattle-kraken-2021-nhl-expansion-draft-rules-same-as-vegas-golden-knights-followed/c-302586918 Predict: - So SEA will be taking 30 players (one per team minus VGK): How many of the 30 will have played at least one season of college hockey and of these how many played at UND? - They have to (mandatory minimum) pick 14F/9D/3G: Predict the final breakdown. - Today SEA has 21 normal draft picks (three years, seven rounds, for 21, see here): What'll they have after the expansion draft? (That site 24 hours after end of draft will be "answer key".) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberkas Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Tyler Johnson he's from Spokane and was on wavers 3 times Capitals sound like they are not happy with Evgeny Kuznetsov and his antics. If I'm Seattle, I'd tell the Capitals I'll take take Kuznetsov but you have to give us Oshie. Nashville is looking to make deals with Seattle, so I could see Rocco Grimaldi getting taken Kailer Yamamoto is from Spokane Derek Ryan is from Spokane Dylan Gambrell is from Bonney Lake There is a chance that Forbort, Poolman, and Ladue could all be in Seattle Vancouver is going to want Seattle to take Jake Virtanen If and it's a big if, Wild can get Suter and Parise to wave their NMC's and get Settle to take both players. If I'm Seattle I'd take both players but get draft picks in the deal also (2 1st's, 4 2nd's, and a 3rd). I do like the thought of Toews in Seattle, if I'm Chicago I'd see if Toews waves his NMC to see it Seattle tries to take the cap hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure SEA will take the VGK approach. VGK made a lot of "we'll take this if you also give us that" deals. VGK still has six pick beyond the normal 21 over then next three years. (And they traded some picks away in making acquisitions of some players after the expansion.) Will SEA do that? VGK got into a salary bind faster than I expected because of picking up those expensive deals to collect picks with them. I don't see SEA following that path unless it's a player they otherwise wanted. https://www.capfriendly.com/ <-- *Every team has at least one they'd want gone.

The Sicatoka Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 HEY! I found a prize for the game winner (if Hak will allow us one). https://www.nhl.com/news/seattle-guidebook-will-help-players-picked-in-nhl-expansion-draft/c-325659924 Seems SEA is learning from VGK's expansion shortcomings.

Wilbur Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Price is from Vancouver. Much closer to home then Montreal. I don't think the Kraken want that contract, but you never know. If he gets selected he's going home, if he doesn't he's the hero that saved Jake Allen. Win win for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cberkas Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 15F/10D/5G Pick in bold (!) One year left Ducks - Hayden Fleury (!) : I can't see Henrique taken Coyotes - Tyler Pitlick (!), Christian Fisher (!), or Michael Bunting Bruins -Conner Clifton or Jeremy Lauzon (!) Sabers - Will Borgen Flames - Oliver Kylington or Mark Giordano (!) : Giordano sound like a lock here Hurricanes - Nino Niederreiter (!), Dougie Hamilton, or Jake Bean : Could pick up Hamilton as a free agent Blackhawks - Ryan Carpenter (!) or Calvin De Haan (!) : De Haan could be a flip Avalanche - Gabriel Landeskog or Joonas Donskoi : Could go with Donskoi and sign Landeskog as a free agent Blue Jackets -Kevin Stenlund (!) or Max Domi (!) Stars - Jamie Oleksiak Red Wings - Troy Stecher (!) Oilers - Dominik Kahn or Oscar Klefbom : Klefbom will be on LTIR Panthers - Chris Driedger Kings - Carl Grundstrom (!) or Blake Lizotte (!) Wild - Kaapo Kahkonen (!) Canadiens - Carey Price (possible LTIR) : If he misses part of the season he'll be on LTIR and you can get 2 goalies that can carry the load. Vegas went through about 6 goalies Predators - Rocco Grimaldi (!), Calle Jarnkrok (!), or Ryan Johansen : I could see a deal where Seattle takes Johansen and gets Grimaldi or Jarnkrok to take that money off Nashville's cap Devils - Will Bucher (!) Islanders - Josh Bailey or Jordan Eberle : Could go with either one Rangers -Colin Blackwell (!) Senators - Joey Daccord Flyers - Justin Braun (!) or Robert Hagg (!) Penguins - Cody Ceci Sharks - Dylan Gambrell (!) or Ryan Donato Blues - Vladimir Tarasenko, Vince Dunn, or Jaden Schwartz : Take Tarasenko and flip him, but Dunn is the player to take Lightning - Tyler Johnson, Patrick Maroon (!), or Yanni Gourde Maple Leafs - Alexander Kerfoot Canucks - Mathew Highmore (!), Kole Land, or Zach MacEwen (!)
