The Washington's picks coming with Oshie are for?

Your thoughts on any and all of this??? Thanks to those who helped with this...
I think SEATTLE could do quite well.

that one I wan't sure on...the Oshie deal is long and im sure WSH would want to move on so I think if SEA uses their leverage wisely they could get something for taking him....

The habs wouldn’t be giving you picks to move Byron, but you could take him if you wanted. However it might make sense to give you those picks if you switched Byron with Edmundson.

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.

Also, Kesler is on LTIR, so Anaheim isn’t paying to move him.

Edit: And it would take more than a 3rd for the Canucks to move Eriksson.

I don’t see the Sabres trading Mittelstadt to move Okposo. I think they’d be more likely to buy him out. I could be wrong though. Who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

didn't VGK take a LTIR deal???

Why not? I think they would. I think they would have to pay more.

I had one fan suggest that or else I would have gone with Fleury.... didn't MTL just get Edmunson?? why w Ould they want to move on already???

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.

They did take Clarkson, but that’s just because the Blue Jackets didn’t want to pay his salary and the picks were mainly so they didn’t take Korpisalo or others.

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...

makes sense.

yeah buyouts are prob easier...

Because his contract is terrible and we have a tonne of upcoming D to replace him. I’d expect Seattle to pick Allen or whoever has a better season out of Kulak, Mete, Fleury, or Juulsen. Which I’d expect would be Kulak if he’s still in Montreal.

If the kraken are already going to take Dermott (which makes sense, he's got the most upside of Dermott, Holl and Kerfoot), then just let them take Dermott is my opinion, I don't see why they would be taking Holl over him, and if Dermott is exposed, Kerfoot is protected (Dermott would be protected in the 4-4 scenario, Kerfoot in the more likely 7-3 scenario).

-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

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.

Wait. Why is Calgary paying Seattle to take Kylington? Isn't he a decent prospect? Unlees it's so they don't take Bennett. That makes the most sense I guess

Why does it say you mentioned me?? I don’t see my name so I’m confused.

Don't see Seattle taking Gourde. He is a good player, but slightly overpayed. If Tampa protects 7 and 3 then Seattle will take either Foote or Cernak whichever is exposed. If they protect 4 and 4 it'd probably be Palat. Of course this is assuming that Johnson and Killorn are traded. There's also the chance they take Blake Coleman even though he'll be an UFA

That always happens to me when one guy posts. It doesn't make any sense

Oh and Joel Eriksson Ek will get more money on his next contract then that. At least 2 mil, probably more
