We would have to keep him on our NHL roster then tho no? Can't see us doing that if the GM and Coach didn't feel confident enough in protecting him from Sea if they felt he was gonna get lost on waivers in the fall when we tried to sneak him to Abbotsford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you only get to protect 7 forwards and usually have 14 on the NHL roster. So there have to be some that management thinks are NHL caliber, but not worth protecting.

I thought there would be at least one veteran goalie pick here, but maybe they'll look for that in free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awalk Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Makes sense. I'd err on the side of prospects and low cap hit type players in the expansion draft too. Why help other teams by taking their bloated contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were Seattle, I'd want someone who I could use on the roster. I'm not convinced that Lind will make their roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was speculated by many they wouldn't try to be ultra competitive when they constructed a fairly inexperienced NHL coaching staff. Be interesting to see how Misfits 2.0 does starting in October!

If I were Seattle, I'd want someone who I could use on the roster. I'm not convinced that Lind will make their roster. I mean there's only so many roster spots on the team though after picking up 30 players from expansion draft + whatever UFA pick ups they do. Lind seems like a reasonable candidate to make it through waivers that still has future potential. Even for us, it was going to be tough for him not to get waived and our forward depth will be worse than Seattle. We usually only keep 13 forwards: Miller Pete Boeser Pearson Horvat Hoglander Roussel Dickinson Podkolzin Motte Beagle Highmore Macewan Macewan is maybe the only player he beats out for us. Hopefully we can pick him back up on waivers. Also, Gadjovich is waiver eligible, we may need him to be our 13th forward or fear losing him on waivers.

Popular Post DeNiro Posted July 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2021 I think there’s a good chance we would have lost him on waivers next season. Sucks to not get to see what he becomes here but oh well. Kind of relieved we didn’t lose Gadjovich to be honest. He represents something we don’t really have in the system. Big tough guy that can score in the dirty areas. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
