Kraken de Seattle

Welcome to CapFriendly!

Teams won't be protecting UFAs because they can walk two weeks later. So Buffalo won't be protecting Montour instead of Jokiharju (who's projected to be in their top-4 for the foreseeable future), Columbus won't be prtecting Savard instead of Gavrikov, and Tampa won't be protecting Coleman; the Lightning would be charmed if Seattle took Gourde off their hands, so they won't be protecting him, either, and I think Tampa will go 8 and 1 in order to protect the recently-signed Cernak.

Aside from the fact that the rules require Seattle to take at least 3 goalies, it would be foolish to draft only two and then have Antti Raanta immediately sign somewhere else.
