Not surprisingly, I'm in almost complete agreement with my esteemed colleague Salzy . My only difference from his analysis is the slight one over the Henrique vs. Silfverberg choice. The expansion draft (and please don't refer to it as the "ED" in front of a 73-year-old man) is so soon after the season end, and so far in advance of the mid-point of the off-season, that it is not clear to me that Ryan Getzlaf will have made his decision about his future by that point; as a result, I think that Anaheim will be loath to expose Henrique because if Getzy retires (or decides to sign somewhere else, an unlikely prospect) and Henrique gets selected by Seattle, the Ducks will have no true experienced top-6 center. Plus, as Steel and Zegras develop, Henrique can slide over to LW.

So my "Most Likely Taken" list (and you know I comment on almost all mock Seattle drafts in the Forums) would be Silfverberg, Manson, Larsson, Mahura, Milano/Heinen (I'd protect one). Of course, as the year shakes out, we may see other factors (like trades, or performance) come into play.
