Chris12345 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) There's only five players to protect. Brock, Bo, Brandon, EP, and Jake. I might have missed one. Who cares about any other player. Edited December 5, 2018 by Chris12345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Considering how far in the future it still is, we wait till we get closer, and then make Seattle a deal where we flip them our 2nd round pick in the 2021 draft in exchange for them taking Eriksson in the expansion draft. Unless a better option presents itself, but that would give them a safe player and some upside that they can work with at the main draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Too far away right now, but teams will be doing business with the expansion in mind now. Gotta be careful with contracts, when you signs guys, ect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kushman Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hopefully they take Erikson, we can throw in some no line no cover passes for the Roxy for the whole team to sweeten the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson 5. Brock Boeser 6. Adam Gaudette 7. Nikolay Goldobin Here's the rules: Expansion Draft Seattle will follow the same rules for the 2021 Expansion Draft as Vegas did in 2017: * All players who have currently effective and continuing “No Movement” clauses at the time of the Expansion Draft (and who decline to waive such clauses) must be protected (and will be counted toward their club’s applicable protection limits). He will Not be protected. That is only for No Move Clause, and not for NTC. He is currently in a NTC and will be moving to a Modified NTC when the Expansion happens so it is not an issue. I doubt he is still here at that point anyway, boat anchor of a contract for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNeil Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Too far away. We could have a completely different top 6 defence by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is they can sign him, he just can't play >9games. Same reason why McLellan benched Bouchard 4 games in a row. Chiarelli, stupidly wanted Bouchard to play, McLellan refused to play him, protecting him from the expansion draft. Edit: someone mentioned this might work differently for NCAA players?

RU SERIOUS Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Is there any way to package up Erikson & Pooliot so we are rid of them. Maybe put a bow on them and leave them by the curb.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I am not going to spend any brain cells on this until we know what players we have. Our roster will be half different in 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Biestra Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I say protect Gagner, trade for Leipsic back and protect him, protect Biega, Eriksson and Del Zotto. Expose Virtanen, Horvat and Petterson. Maybe protect Boeser. Sign Markstrom and Nilsson long term and then protect them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBatch Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 14 hours ago, lukchin said: I think we have to protect Eriksson unless he is willing to waive. Same like Phaneuf except he refused to waive. Nope we don’t, anyone with a NTC can be left exposed, only NMC have to be protected (at least that’s how it was in the Vegas draft and they announced the same rules apply). Only thing is would they even take him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
