Seattle Kraken NHL Expansion Draft

[steelerssb]

I haven't looked at the Pens protected/unprotected list, but Tanev is a good pick-up.

Yeah he definitely would. I'm hoping the contract scares them away and they take Zucker.

The leaks so far are so bad. That team is going to be complete trash. It's awesome.

What leaks? I haven't heard.

I heard Montreal didn't protect Price and he has Washington connections both through himself and his wife. That was the closest thing I heard to a leak. Price would have had to basically request this too, I doubt Montreal would necessarily want to give Price up, but who knows, he is coming to the tail end of his career.

Probably the most hockey you'll ever find on ESPN.

Yes, that is what was missing.... Macklemore.

I don't even know what people like about his music.


Edit: Of course, I am not sure why Fowler is there either, but I like Fowler lol.

Because it's Seattle and it's an embarrassment of a city in the best of times. I tuned in just in time to see the inevitable fish toss, which was kinda cool.

I'm not seeing a very good team here. Assuming 1/3 of today's picks are re-dealt in exchange for picks and prospects to help expand the farm team, and maybe 1-2 guys in the entry draft are ready for prime time, that's still a fairly shitty team.

 

[Deep Dish Pizza Goat]

They didnt even attempt to acquire assets to trade(and still get a bunch of cap space) Just straight up mailed it in with a third of the picks. Couldn’t have happened to a shittier city. Hope they move within 5 years after the trash fairweather fans give up on the garbage team.

So, we gave Vegas a first and a third to take a 25ish goal scorer.... Seattle just grabs a minor leaguer with no league upside. WTF

I think teams learned their lesson last time around with giving Vegas a staked team/pick system.

Which is true of other teams. It makes no sense why Seattle picked complete trash.

Apparently, the side deals are coming out today at 1:00?

Seattle getting garbage at the trade deadline after taking garbage players in the expansion draft.
