mll Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) Friedman in his 31 Thoughts: 9. Under expansion rules, Seattle must select at least $48.9 million under the salary cap. Other teams are thinking they will target the minimum — unless incentivized to do otherwise. That would allow for maximum weaponization of their space. — Ahead of the TDL LeBrun said GMs had already made contact with Seattle and prices are apparently very high to move contracts.

73 Percent Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 The score had the canucks exposing holtby and motte. Ultimately they chose holtby, this would be the same protection list I go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does get injured often but its because he plays such a hard game and always goes full out. I really do hope they take Holtby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksJay Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I had to take a break from this team for about 5 games I came back to watch my first full game in a while. We are lucky that Rathbone, Hughes, Podz and Hogs are exempt. Thats 2 future top 4 d-man and 2 top 6 wingers exempt I was scare of losing guys like Motte, Gaudette, Virtanen, MacEwan etc but it looks like Motte is realistically the only threat we're good on D too protecting Juloevi, Schmidt and Myers Holty is the obvious choice to expose At the end of the day, the expansion draft wont affect us much. Motte might hurt a bit but we're not going to get robbed a potential top 6 player or top 4 d-man so I am good with whatver happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 According to capfriendly Juolevi needs 6 more games to meet exposure requirement. What does that even mean? Why are these rules so f-ing confusing? Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are these rules so f-ing confusing? Lol. Every team has to leave exposed at least 2 Fs + 1 D who have played a certain amount of games - that’s what the exposure requirement refers to. It’s not about exemption status. Every player with 3 or more pro-season is exposed unless protected. Juolevi, Brisebois, Lind, Gadjovich are expansion eligible despite not having the game requirement. By acquiring Bowey it gives them the option to protect both Myers and Schmidt otherwise 1 of them would have to be left exposed to meet that requirement.

Would expect Seattle to target goalies that perform above or at least on par with their environment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the biggest deterrent in Seattle claiming him is his actual cash salary next season. True, their owners have tons of money but still, businessmen are businessmen. That's a heck of alot of money for a nothing special backup goalie. Edited May 12, 2021 by NewbieCanuckFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think exposing Gadjovich is a bad idea right now with him being ready within a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 We will see what Gadjovich looks like. He brings an element we don’t have if he is really a player. It could be a toss up between him and Lind (it would be neither exposed if we hadn’t have signed Pearson for whatever reason). If Gadjovich shows well then maybe Lind is more replaceable by cheap veterans who are always available in late July. We might be a team that Seattle picks up an expiring contract from. They don’t need 30 players, and might also want to be a player in free agency so might only want to be tied to 15 actual roster players from expansion itself. I kind of expect them to take a bunch of D and goalies and then auction them off back to teams. I wouldn’t be opposed to us picking up a D before expansion even if it means Exposing Myers.
