Vegas is Exempt from the expansion draft. Seattle doesn’t pick from them

i know, it's trade for quick

Armia, Martinook, Bellemare, Gunnarsson, Rinne and Lundqvist are not getting picked since there are probably better options and those players are all UFAs anyway, so, unless Seattle thinks they can convince them to sign in Seattle, they aren’t getting picked by the Kraken.
Also, Vegas is exempt from this expansion draft, so they won’t be losing anyone. If anything, they’ll be in a position of strength next year, since they can deal with teams that are scared to lose a good player for nothing.

might be true. Tuch one is for trade

What does the trade look like?

quick(ret salary of 1,5M) and 3rd to tuch and 5th

- Vegas is exempt (bull****)
- 8/30 of those players are UFA's 4 days after the expansion draft
- 4/30 are UFA's this summer
- Hintz, Zacha, Jenner, Dube, Kahun, Duclair will all definitely be protected

Spot on

Why would Vegas keep that. I’d rather trade Tuch for a guy like Montour.

Uhh, Vegas isn't doing that.

If Seattle is dumb enough to take Ritchie, I'd be ecstatic
