One more thing if your saying that JAKE bean could be the Shea Theodore of Vegas. I can see Julius Honka being available for the expansion draft. And can be she Theodore of Vegas. It’s just a thought. What do you guys think.
Honka probably doesn't have as high of a ceiling as Bean, but he still has some promise so he could be a good option for them to take as well. There are lots of young dmen available on teams so it'll be interesting to see what Seattle does
Without question he will be protected. It will be Dumba or Greenway. In which case, the Wild should just trade Dumba away for draft picks before the expansion draft. If that happens, you will likely get Bonino, Rask, Johansson or Soucy. Soucy would be the best pick to help the blue line at a low cost. Bonino would be the best overall player to pick and i would be happy to see Rask or Johansson go and open up either 4 or 4.5 million in cap space. Best case scenario, the Wild get Parise to wave his no trade clause. The Kraken wouldn’t take him with that huge salary but it would allow us to keep Dumba.
@@jacobhumphreys493 I hate this type of expansion draft, they should take from the minors, NHL expansion draft sucks. Kracken take parise, he is always a healthy scratch anyway.
No way the Avs lose Toews. Didn’t give up 2 2nd rounders just for him to walk. I believe they’ll buy Johnson out before they risk losing Toews. I’m guessing Seattle gets Graves, Jost, or Donskoi.
I think they'll pretty much give Johnson the choice of either waving his no trade so they can protect Toews, or getting bought out. I like EJ, but he is getting older, and he spends a lot of time on the injury list. He's been in the league for 15 years, and he has only played more than 70 games 5 times.
Dig the channel man... Solid info, good direction, good pace & def way ahead of most other hockey channels with the graphics, no doubt bout it... Keep it up
Thanks so much for the kind words DVo! These kinds of comments keep us motivated to continue making these videos and putting in the effort to make them the best quality possible. The positive feedback really means a lot
I doubt the kraken get sprong. Either way. Getting him and keeping him as an extra and not top6/9 is nuts. Same with bean. DeSmith is better than jarry.
Hartman just got a new contract. Wild will trade Dumba before losing him for nothing. Then the pick is either Johansson, Rask, Bonino or Soucy. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over any of those guys being gone. I would prefer to keep Bonino though.
@@joemartinez8105 it's fair because Vegas had the option to either take some of the seattle teams expansion fee or to not lose a player. Vegas is a new team, why would the nhl take away from a team that is barely established?
Unfortunately, they probably will. Sure, he’s an energy guy, but, is really a cornerstone? I think he was this year’s version of last year’s Gaudette. But, I think Virtanen is a goner, one way or another.
Love the content guys. Great job. If the Kraken can come away with Foote, Bean, Bellows, Dube, Lundestrom, Berdin, Toews and Eriksson Ek, that would be an exceptionally good expansion draft. If they get HALF that, that'd still be pretty decent.
It’s great to hear your positive feedback victor! Agreed if they could get even half of those young pieces and it will be interesting to see what kind of deadline deals teams make to try and prevent those guys from being available for the expansion draft
I like the layout of your videos with the profile and highlight window. Kraken would be smart to build from the backend out. I think they should take holtby over Allen tho. A little more proven and I think he still has something left in the tank. I think he's only about 30 or 31 and will only have 1 year remaining on his deal if he sours.
Thanks Scott! It was a completely new graphic for this video so it’s awesome to hear that feedback. Holtby is also an interesting pick, he brings lots of experience and was the starter for the caps when they won the cup. It’s possible they even go with a Holtby/Allen tandem if they took them both, which might not be too bad if they split the workload
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Seattle take Burns from the sharks. With a weaker forward group they may be looking to add a more offensive minded defensemen to the roster and the sharks really need to offload some of those massive contracts on the blue line.
A lot has changed in 3 months ... I think over half of your picks would be different today than on Jan 23rd. Curious to see what your team would be today?
Our plan is to do another video right before the expansion draft too so look out for that video too. Like you said a lot has changed with trades and even how players have done this year will impact who Seattle will take. Plus there’s always the unpredictable side deals so a lot of this is just for fun since those are kept pretty quiet
this is the problem with expansion drafts, the new team allways takes atleast one good player from each team, and than soon as you know it that team is allready a stanley cup contender
Bad logo representation. Sorry but the top and bottom of the "S" is someone's thumb. If the kraken is supposed to be deep sea blue, then why is the ice blue piece underneath the red eye connected to the other ice blue part of the "S?" It breaks up the deep sea blue serpent. Am I the only one seeing this?
Who do you think Seattle will take from your favourite team?
I hope not Casey desmith
It’ll be interesting to see what they decide to do for goalies. Especially without a bonafide #1 options like Fleury with Vegas
@@PuckRivals MAF will be a short term fix cuz he’ll have one year left on his contract. And now he’s at an age of 36 years old.

The most obvious one is jake Allen. He’ll be the glue that holds Seattle together.
Completely agree here, he brings a ton of experience and can be a leader for the young guys on the new expansion team
there is no way that the wild lose EK.
This is the most underrated hockey channels on UA-cam
That’s such a huge compliment Marcus thank you! We’re glad you like our stuff and we’ll keep working to make high-quality videos!
Dube is getting protected
100%
Yeah lol, it’s going to be giordano
I would give up gio for sure i think mangiapani or dube might be available
Dougie Hamilton and Rod
I am pretty sure the devils would be pretty pumped to see the the kraken take subban off their hands
Dig the channel man... Solid info, good direction, good pace & def way ahead of most other hockey channels with the graphics, no doubt bout it... Keep it up

I love this channel so much
Thank you Andrei! That really means a lot!
The Wild won't let Eriksson-Ek go. No way.
Well if Rask doesn't retire after this season then I think Seattle picks goaltender Halak from Boston over Miller
tyler johnson from tampa
Nashville Predators Ryan.
Johansson
Howden is probably going to Seattle... But I think possibly Georgiev might not get protected so he could get picked up too
David Krejci or Taylor Hall🥺
I doubt the kraken get sprong. Either way. Getting him and keeping him as an extra and not top6/9 is nuts. Same with bean. DeSmith is better than jarry.
Nick Paul
I doubt if the Ducks will let Lundestrom go.
The wild will not give up Ek. He will be a franchise player. Instead they may give Hartman.
Hartman just got a new contract. Wild will trade Dumba before losing him for nothing. Then the pick is either Johansson, Rask, Bonino or Soucy. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over any of those guys being gone. I would prefer to keep Bonino though.
Props to being one of the very very few channels to know that vegas is exempt.
I don't see how that's fair tbh
@@joemartinez8105 it's fair because Vegas had the option to either take some of the seattle teams expansion fee or to not lose a player. Vegas is a new team, why would the nhl take away from a team that is barely established?
If they're smart. They're gonna pick DeAngelo.
Attitude or not. He's one of the better puck moving defensemen in the league.
Love the content
Defense* #spellcheck
Canucks will protect motte
Unfortunately, they probably will. Sure, he’s an energy guy, but, is really a cornerstone? I think he was this year’s version of last year’s Gaudette.
But, I think Virtanen is a goner, one way or another.
Murphy, Keith, and Zadorov are going to be protected
there not getting rid of the following: Ericson Ek smith Toews Dickenson Subban gostispare and sprong
my favorite team is the Boston Bruins and I think Seattle might take Branden Carlo or Ondrej Kase
Why not protect Carlo?
Love the content guys. Great job. If the Kraken can come away with Foote, Bean, Bellows, Dube, Lundestrom, Berdin, Toews and Eriksson Ek, that would be an exceptionally good expansion draft. If they get HALF that, that'd still be pretty decent.

bruins finally found a decent second line winger in smith i dont think they'll give him up unless krejci leaves
Let’s get it I’m excited!
Tampa fan here, Tyler Johnson is going to Seattle
I think the jets backup goalie should
Daniel Sprong could be a good fit.
I like the layout of your videos with the profile and highlight window. Kraken would be smart to build from the backend out. I think they should take holtby over Allen tho. A little more proven and I think he still has something left in the tank. I think he's only about 30 or 31 and will only have 1 year remaining on his deal if he sours.

I swear if the pens lose another goalie...
TAKE ZUCKER
Great video
Thanks Kam! Glad you liked it
my favrote team is seattle kraken
Hope not subban he's the most overrated defenseman ever
Daniel sprong has actually been very good for the caps, they might protect him
No one
I’m a vgk fan
I think Dickinson is one of the best players on this list. He’d be a great grab for Seattle
Go bruins
I can’t see the pens losing DeSmith when they will have to leave guys like ZAR, Tanev, and of Blueger/McCann/Zucker.
I'm thinking Patrick Laine would fit in the Seattle team
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Seattle take Burns from the sharks. With a weaker forward group they may be looking to add a more offensive minded defensemen to the roster and the sharks really need to offload some of those massive contracts on the blue line.
Gotisbehere could also be a good addition.
I would love to see PK play for seattle
He would be a great guy to bring attention to the new team in their first year
Bruins will lose forward Jake de Brusk
The Canucks are not giving up Tyler Motte. They will put Virtanen up before giving up Motte
i agree, i think virtanen or holtby gets taken honestly
Hate to say it, you went 0-30…
Pleaseeeee take Howden
Yeah ek isn’t going anywhere after how he’s been this year
Nick Paul is definitely protected There gonna give mike Riley

Plz do Columbus top prospects
Since the season started we were thinking about stopping the series, but if you want to see one for the Jackets we can definitely do that!
But Allen struggles when he is a starter, why put him a starter if he will struggle.
what about debrusk
Debrusk was protected when we did our expansion draft so he couldn’t be an option
I can almost guarantee Jake Bean will not be in Seattle anytime soon
Yeah this was done before Fleury was traded so it would be shocking to see Bean exposed now
@@PuckRivals it’s some good predictions I’ll give you that
Carolina is not going to expose Bean , they are going to get Gardiner, Skjei or McGinn
You can take either Colin White or Matt Murray but leave one of our young goalies alone, from a sens fan
Hall will definitely be selected by Seattle. He has a 1 year contract
Nate schmidt on the kraken
Zero chance
@@OverLord-mw2be after that dumpster fire of a season with the Canucks it's going to happen
@@rileykazama3145 why would they give up their best defensemen then lol - Hughes isn't eligible
@@OverLord-mw2be the Canucks have been a dumpster fire for several months now I wouldn't blame Nate Schmidt for not wanting to be there
this was awful, I get you used auto protect but come on....
Eriksson Ek is definitely protected, same with Toews and lundestrom.
Dube is protected.
if i was a hockey player, I would love to move to a tax free Washington state to play hockey. Seattle is awesome !
Connor Murphy is not going anywhere. If anyone from Chicago it would be de Haan or Connolly perhaps
Hell no are gettimg berdin from the jets
this is the problem with expansion drafts, the new team allways takes atleast one good player from each team, and than soon as you know it that team is allready a stanley cup contender
Agreed I think the whole expansion draft thing is just bullshit all arounf

Dude now I can’t unsee the thumb
@@nexfn1699 I know right. It's like the organization paid for a professional logo and got 2 thumbs instead. Strange.
Just asking y do u sound like ur making asmr sorry
Please take Snuggie out of our team Lindsey Vonn plagued us with a broken man on the devils roster please give him some light on another team
Nothing screams supporting your local team right? So which team do you back Boston Celtics or Seattle Kraken? What BS.
Kraken gonna suck
So they should
swede kraken xD
So Craig smith is your best forward? I think they’re gonna go with may more vets than this, and this team stinks
They picked a lousy name. The Kracken
