Speculation: Who is the worst shape going into the expansion draft?

[Stuzchuk]

The way the draft is set up there will be some solid players lost but who will get hit the hardest? who will lose the best player? I suspect Murray will be a popular answers but I think the pens will trade MAF before they allow vegas to take Murray.

TB is another one that could lose an important piece

Without reading any other suggestions first, Minnesota was my very first thought. Tampa was the second team to jump to mind.

Wild will lose one of Brodin/Dumba most likely. Scandella also is possible. Young D carry a lot of value, so this will hurt. Good thing is that Folin, Olofsson and Reilly look like they will be NHL dmen.

Anaheim: Bieksa's buyout isn't even enough to save them from losing something good or something cost effective. And as Bieksa isn't waiving, that buyout will hinder their squad one way or another.

You know this how? There's no evidence that he won't waive. It is in his best interest to waive. He is a member of the Ducks and he wants the Ducks to remain competitive with a chance to win. He will waive. Las Vegas can only take one player from Anaheim, and Bieksa is far from the most enticing player we will expose.
