Speculation: Seattle Expansion Draft Thread.......

[rajuabju]

I'm going to go with Grundy ... no more Clague.

I guess a surprise pick could still be Quick but I very much doubt it.

 

[kovacro]

San Jose didn't have much available really..



Apparently Max Domi remains in Columbus. Got to wonder about a side deal with this selection. Bayreuther is a UFA in a few days and more of an AHL guy.

 

[kovacro]

Best case scenario achieved? Potential side deal?

 

[Matt13]

Curse you Kraken!

 

[KingsHockey24]

We lost MacDermid lol.

They must've known how shit Wagner was.

 

[kovacro]

Good selection from the Bruins..

 

[jfont]

So long Kurtis

 

[No Name The Nameless]

LOL. Seattle is going to take McD

 

[Johnny Utah]

Damnit.

 

[head eyes]

McNabb part deux. I can already envision him destroying our forwards at the blue line.

 

[Telos]

MacD is a good guy, but losing him really is the best case scenario if that is indeed their pick. Keeping Clague and Grundstrom is awesome.

 

[jfont]

Is Pat Maroon a UFA?

I'd package them both and a pick for Jake Bean

1 year left at 900k

I love MacD. Love having him around the locker room and all, but he's a 7th defenseman at BEST. This is really no loss at all for the Kings.

Unless there's more we don't know, Seattle is making some bizarre decisions.

 

[goosh]

Best case scenario for us.

 

[illegal_stick]

MacD is who I hoped for and of course now, I'm just like - wait, what do they know about him that we don't know?

 

[DAkings20]

WTF is Seattle doing? I’ve never heard of half of these dudes.

Gotta be a lot of side deals for future picks/prospects right?

 

[BigKing]

Well, this is the best case scenario for the Kings as it relates to guys that have a chance to be here past next year since I don't feel like he'd get a new contract. I really liked the idea of him passing through waivers though and playing down in Ontario with all of the kids.

They get to keep Clague, a guy with way more potential. Left shot. Has to clear waivers if he doesn't make the team out of camp.

Toby/Doughty
Anderson/Roy
Clague or Maata/Walker

Is that where we are at now?

edit - Forgot Strand

 

[Schrute farms]

very little to pick from on the Kings. Taking a huge dude who is young and fights like the Mountain....makes sense.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Well if Kings play Vegas this year it’s Imama time!!!

Yeah, it's not the worst move for them. He'll be good for their chemistry.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Not that it's made a damn bit of difference the last few years, but that does make the Kings a little bit more soft

That can change if they actually stick up for each other more than never, and they don't need MacD to collectively do just that.

 

[BigKing]

Too bad the team already has 30 bottom six forwards he has to jump over.

Lemieux is the team's muscle moving forward.

Their are bound to be side deals, not likely as far as the Kings are concerned though.
