I honestly don’t care all that much who Seattle takes. Hoping it’s a forward with how many extra ones LA has. Clague can’t crack a spot on a team desperate for his exact skill set.

Luc and Rob are a waste of time and money.
If the krakheads don’t get one of Clague, Grundstrom or Strand, the hockey gods will have shown the Kings their good favor. If one of them does go, it probably doesn’t change the trajectory of the “rebuild”. But it has the hallmarks of a Hickey, Pearson, and Colin Miller level of lost value, respectively.
Going by the Mayors list, I’d be ecstatic if an NHL spot was cleared with one of Wagner, Lizotte, or Maata out the door next Wednesday.

NHL mock expansion draft: Projecting the Seattle Kraken’s 30 picks
Four predictions for the ED - One has Kings losing Wagner, another losing Clague and two show Lizotte. I know this means nothing, but glad that writers are predicting others (Wags and Lizotte) as opposed to my feeling that Clague is 100% gone.

Taking Lizotte or Wagner would be a gift from Seattle. The only way they take either one of those two is if they have a buyer. I would take Moverare over either one of those guys.
I wonder how much bluffing is going on with Francis.
Just as an example:
Maybe he doesn’t want Giordano but still says give me your first and I won’t take him.

Allow me to retort
No one truly knows what Seattle is thinking. Do they go with someone that has speed? Have they seen enough of Clague to pick off based on potential? Do they feel Lizotte has the most 'grit' from all available? Or do they go with the "sure" thing in Lemieux? Maybe they feel Quick can take them to the promise land if they feel comfortable with all their other picks in front.

So Seattle needs to get to a $60M cap floor - which high priced picks or UFAs will they select?
Hamilton?
Saad?
Landeskog?
Others?

Hamilton or Landeskog.
Domi and Giordano to start. Oshie? Duchene? in the ex draft.

They don’t need to get to the floor at the expansion draft. The floor they have to select to at the draft is $48.9 million.

I think seeing this flurry of trades today between the existing franchises, other GM’s are politely telling Francis to f*** off regarding his prices.
It's sort of fun watching all the mayhem knowing the worst that can happen to us is we lose Kale Clague 
I can't believe that the Blues might lose Tarasenko for nothing 0.o

It was an idea. I didn't say it was a good idea.
I think the fact that Hamilton’s agent has been listening for offers for weeks but he hasn’t been traded suggests he’s going to Seattle.

Kinda sucks if Seattle get Sergachev while we stayed idle on the sidelines.
Tampa is really in a bind we should be on them for a forward or D man.

Kings can't really do anything right now. If they acquired another player it would mean another player would need to be protected. Leaving a player we don't want to lose exposed.

I'll order you a red cap and a Speedo.
“The Colorado Avalanche won't protect captain Gabriel Landeskog in Wednesday's expansion draft, reports the Denver Post's Mike Chambers.”

Gotta wait and see who they can move after expansion. It always was and is a long shot.

Worse case they can go 4-4-1, lose a forward to expansion and maybe buyout Johnson. They will be fine and under the cap by around 5 million. Their D core is solid and can put togther a solid bottom 6 with the young kids. Maybe add a cheap vet or 2. They are not in bad shape, don't see any way they make Sergachev available, I think that ship has sailed.
