Sujet: Expansion draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>COL isn’t giving Landeskog $9M. Why risk giving SEA that exclusive window to do something stupid, and who are they going to protect that would be more valuable than him. Even if COL is forced to buy out EJ (their not going to because he will waive), there is no reason to not protect MacK, Mikko, Landy, Kadri, Burakovsky, whatever 2 other forwards you want to protect but Jost and Nichushkin make the most sense, Makar, Girard, Toews, and Grubauer. COL expects to lose someone and rather it be a $3M contract they can replace like Graves, Donskoi or Compher who they can all replace internally. Graves gets picked, they still have Byram, EJ, Timmins and MacDonald, Donskoi or Compher gets picked they have Newhook, Kaut, LOC, Bowers and Ranta. There just isn’t any reason to give SEA the opportunity to offer big money to someone or open the door to a sign a trade, don’t make your life complicated and give anybody an opening you don’t want to give.</div></div>

Seattle already has an exclusive window to talk to free agents. For 72 hours before the expansion draft theyre allowed to negotiate with all pending UFAs. They would give Landeskog their best offer there, and if he declines all of the offers there would be no chance seattle selects him. UFAs are not getting protected because if seattle was going to get them, they’d be on the team before the draft.

If your worry is that leaving Landeskog exposed as a UFA would give seattle a chance to have an exclusive negotiating period, your opinion is misinformed, because they are already going to have an exclusive negotiation period before the draft no matter what. The only way to prevent that would be to sign him within the next week. Otherwise, if Landeskog is still a Colorado UFA on the day of the expansion draft, there will be no reason to protect him as they already know he won’t be playing for seattle because they already had their negotiations with him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Miska doesn’t have to be protected, he sucks. Not protecting UFA’s is a double edged sword, it gives Seattle an extra early window to talk to them and offer them a stupid contract. COL will be protecting Landy and Grubauer. You’re high wanting to protect Graves, he is BY FAR the most overrated Avalanche player and it isn’t even close. Sakic and Co WANT him to get picked because they have built in replacements. And nobody that knows how to construct a team exposes a 2C over a 3rd pairing dman that ridiculous. Also you protect a C over a forward, or if you are smart and don’t protect 5 freaking dman, you just protect the people I listed before. I can promise you not only won’t the Avs protect 5 dman, not a team in the league will do that.</div></div>

Alright maybe I thought Graves was better than he was. But as for the UFAs there’s no need to protect them. Not a single team did it last year. There’s no point
