Seattle’s D is already looking really good

edit: had Giordano on the wrong side

Giordano - Larsson
Oleksiak - Dunn

Good start between the pipes. Makes me think Soucy is the pick from Minny if Kakhonen has been bypassed.

Surprise pick. Maybe a side deal with Philly post draft?

Looks more and more like Clague won’t be selected based on who they have leaked so far. Clague wouldn’t crack the top 6, needs to clear waivers, and they are going to need forwards (wagner/grundstrom)

Giordano confirmed as a selection..

Still a chance for macdermid if they're moving him to forward! Lol

it is upsetting that Seattle’s front office appears to be making a lot of good, smart decisions

Seattle is going to have a very solid roster...

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Is that a real person?

 

[KopitarFAN]

Up to approximately 13 names.

Pretty good depth piece to have in the bottom 6 for Seattle.

I can't wait for the Kraken to beat up the Knights...and the VGK fans complain about this expansion team being too good, etc., etc.

 

[johnjm22]

Grundstrom is looking more and more likely IMO.

Not taking Johansen or Duchene is like Blake keeping all his draft picks. It's grade school level GMing.

 

[Matt13]

Is anyone going to need to tune into the coverage of the Expansion Draft tonight? Fail........

 

[Schrute farms]

I'm really interested in the post expansion draft decisions Seattle does with thee guys. Are they picking them all for their own team going forward? Or are there side deals for them trading some of these guys to teams for draft picks? The whole win now or build for the future. It seems like they are picking younger guys than the big-name established vets. So that leads me to guess they are keeping most/all of these guys since they can do both -- win now and in future.

Seattle passed on Jake Bean of Carolina

Looks like Jake Bean will remain Hurricane property..for the time being.
