Around the NHL: Part XXXIV

[NYRFANMANI]

So Oilers legit lost Larsson to the Kraken? Was he picked and signed or just straight up signed as UFA!?

I'm so confused by today.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Lol. EJ Hradek wearing his blue and orange goggles. If you ff to the 4:50 mark EJ has Ron Francis picking Leo Komarov.

Hes a clown.

By signing as a free agent with Seattle he became their selection from Edmonton for the expansion draft.

[Kane One]

Seattle gets exclusive early UFA signing access. If they sign a team's UFA, it counts as their pick.
So like Florida fans are happy Seattle signed Dreidger because with Spencer Knight, Dreidger was on his way out anyways so from their POV, Seattle picked a player they were losing anyways. Instead of like guys Gudas or Vatrano.

someone did Shawn Kemp wrong. that shirt is about 3 times too small.

Not as brutal as his pronunciation of Donskoi's name

 

[RickChartraw]

where's the Marshawn Lynch pick?

Its not Kemps fault. Jooonoos Doonskooi is a stupid name.


I'm more pissed off they didn't get Frasier Crane to announce all the picks.

 

[Irishguy42]

I guess all side deals in regards to the picks made tonight were, for technicalities-sake, handshake deals



EDIT: Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr not many?

Every time I see Kelsey Grammar on my TV now I get depressed about how old he got.

 

[Irishguy42]

Seattle not making a single expansion draft related trade is bonkers

 

[NYR94]

Maybe some teams regretting their trades from the Vegas expansion has the league spooked.

 

[Fvital92]

Well, Giordano must be pissed. 37 years old, at the last strech of his career, and having to play for the worst team of the NHL by a lot. Maybe they will trade him at the deadline.

So nothings changed for him.

 

[NYR94]

This could change if/when deals are announced in the upcoming days but right now

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I personally think Seattle took cheap contracts so they can bail out cap strapped teams in the coming days and grab picks that way. Like Tampa for instance, take on Johnson with a big sweatener type of deal.

Bingo.

I still see them getting Tarasenko, but now with a draft pick attached.

But couldn't they have gotten more if they selected him and then traded him to the highest bidder with $ retained?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

They can still do that too

They can still do that and drafted a solid top 4 in Dunn.

This is far from over imo

 

[IronBloodedLion]

Imagine being Jordan Eberle and being 1 game away from the Stanley Cup Finals and now you’re on an expansion team that doesn’t look very good.

Vegas really did a good job of keeping the league's focus on them during the process and I think maximized the leverage from the exp. draft. Seattle did not. I think alot of GMs will be moving on to more pressing matters then worrying about Seattle now.

He was old back then. Seemed old anyway.

I still struggle with the realization that I’m now several years older than the Seinfeld cast was when that show was in its prime.
