The NHL Available/ Protected list for Seattle Kraken expansion
It is a long one so I apologise

The list of players protected in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft for the Seattle Kraken was released Sunday. The 30 other NHL teams (not including the Vegas Golden Knights) had the option to protect seven forwards, three defensemen and one goalie, or eight skaters and one goalie. All players with continuing and effective no-move clauses had to be protected. All first- and second-year professionals are exempt from selection, as are unsigned draft choices.
The Kraken have until 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday to submit their expansion draft selections. They must choose 30 players, one from each team, and must take a minimum of 14 forwards, nine defensemen and three goalies from the lists of unprotected players.
[RELATED: NHL Expansion Draft FAQ | NHL Expansion Draft Rules]
Seattle's selections will be announced as part of the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft presented by Upper Deck on Wednesday (8 p.m. ET; ESPN2, SN, SN NOW).

Landeskog being unprotected has my sphincter permanently clenched.
But the working theory in Av Land is if Seattle take him, they sign him for what money he wants, then trade him back to Colorado taking on board some of his contract but getting picks/players in return.

Really thought Seattle would have gone for a bigger name like Tarasenko. Picked up some handy players but nothing overly exciting.

Yeh what they have built gives them loads of cap room, so i assumed they could have made 1 splash with a Landeskog or Tarasenko type.

We dont know the side deals they have made yet though, so might be addinga boat load of 1st and 2nd round picks next 2 years

Having only just got into hockey in the last couple of years this expansion draft is blowing my mind as a concept (I started following the NHL after Vegas's expansion draft). Can't imagine how this would go down in the AFL if there was a new team introduced. Shattered personally that Gio is leaving the Flames.

I'm not surprised at all. Cap flexibility is the number one thing a team can have, and they blow it straight away by picking the Prices and Tarasenkos of the world, particularly with the injury concerns in addition to the contract concerns. And other teams knew it as well, that's why so many of those contracts got exposed. That's also why the one big name they did pick-up in Giordano is someone that can be very easily traded for picks or prospects.

I think the main name that comes to mind as someone they should picked is James van Riemsdyk, since they didn't pick anyone good from Philly anyway. As good a job they did in avoiding the poison pill contracts, it seems like they didn't do any side deals which isn't ideal....

Ahh, you watched the Leafs boys too eh DG?

I reckon it's fantastic. It's a far better method than destroying the entry for seasons on end.

On the Kraken though, I don't get the UFA signings as picks. You've got 28mil extra cap space left over, why not take an extra Star, Panther, and Oiler, then wait a few days to announce signing the UFAs? Make picks with with good contracts and if you don't want them, on-trade them for some more assets. I'm sure you could've taken Mascherin and flipped him and a 4th for a 3rd at the very least.

I think it's probably that old school hockey mindset of not wanting to upset the apple cart too much and be a good hockey boy. Of much more concern is taking Morgan Geekie over Niederreiter or Jake Bean, taking the random Philly guy over JVR, the random Chicago guy over De Haan. I get they may be concerned about being able to flip guys for draft picks right now given the flat cap, but they've left some draft picks on the table

What Seattle is trying to say is that the GM's learnt from the Vegas experience and weren't as willing to do trades to protect exposed players that they want to keep, and while Don Tallon not being in a job does mean nothing as stupid as Marchessault and Reilly Smith to Vegas for nothing could happen again, NHL General Mangers as a group are not known for learning from mistakes (Ken Holland is currently trying to sign Zach Hyman to a max deal) and I think Seattle likely priced themselves out of trades.

Oh it definitely makes for a smoother transition into the competition. I guess I'm trying to imagine if it had happened when Gold Coast and GWS were brought into the AFL. It would've made their first couple of seasons a lot better.

The US market seems to be big enough that they've already developed a fairly decent local following as well.

Steve Dangle is proper value to watch. Even just the general knowledge around the league and history.
He's gotten a lot better at it since Sportsnet signed him up. Marek's rubbing off on him.

Imagine if all 16 clubs got to protect roughly 4D, 5M, 1R, 4F and the Suns got to pick 2 players from each club? There'd be none of the bullshit secret signings, the new teams would have an immediate idea of club culture, and you wouldn't have 22 kids getting slaughtered for 3 seasons straight.

The US market seems to be big enough that they've already developed a fairly decent local following as well.
I think the main difference is you've got billionaires buying sports franchises in the US, whereas the AFL expansion sides are owned by the league. The mega rich guys aren't going to shell out where there's no market, which is exactly what the AFL did in order to grow the game.

I'd let the CAR one slide, Francis did draft him. Surprised Braun wasn't picked over Twarynski, and that Chicago pick was awful. Jesse Blake had it right when he said they should have picked Zadorov for the lols so the Hawks had nothing to show for the Brandon Saad trade. At least Zadorov can play bottom pairing minutes.
