Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- 104,613 Posted Wednesday at 06:03 AM Popular Post Share Posted Wednesday at 06:03 AM When is the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft? Date: Wednesday, July 21, 2021 Time: 5:00 pm PT What channel is the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft on? TV (Canada): SN, SN Now, TVA Sports TV (U.S.): ESPN2 What are the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft rules? This year's expansion draft is following the same rules as the ones the Golden Knights had in 2017. For the 30 NHL teams: They can protect seven forwards, three defensemen and one goalie OR eight skaters (any combination of forwards and defensemen) and one goalie. Players that do not need to be protected and cannot be selected: first- and second-year players and unsigned draft picks. Any player that has a no-movement clause must be protected. Players can waive it and will then be left unprotected. One of the exposed defensemen and two forwards must not only be under contract in 2021-22 but must have played in 27 or more games in 2021 OR played in 54 or more NHL games between 2019-20. An exposed goaltender must be under contract in 2021-22 or is a pending restricted free agent. Players on long-term injured reserve, and with potential career-ending injuries who have missed more than the previous 41 consecutive games (or who otherwise have been confirmed to have a career-threatening injury) cannot be protected and may also be exempt from being picked. For the Kraken: They must select 30 players — at least 14 forwards, nine defensemen and three goaltenders. At least 20 of those players must be under contract for 2021-22 and have a value between 60 and 100 percent of the upper limit ($81.5 million) of the salary cap. A player selected cannot be bought out until next summer. How did CDC react to the last Expansion Draft?

Dumb Nuck 5,857 Posted Wednesday at 07:52 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:52 AM The Kraken refuse to select a player from the Vancouver Canucks stating they don’t want anyone coached by Green infecting their team with turn the other cheek attitudes and Huggy Bear love-in emotions, they want to be rough, tough and competitive. 1 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MystifyNCrucify 789 Posted Wednesday at 09:20 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:20 AM @Dumb Nuck Your opinion just gets funnier every time you throw it in everyones face. Jesus, doesnt sunlight turn you to stone or was Bilbo lying the whole time? 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DownUndaCanuck 5,035 Posted Wednesday at 09:36 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:36 AM Best case scenario for the Canucks - Seattle take Beagle (3M) then we trade Holtby (maybe for Zadorov? 3 way deal that leads us to Bjugstad as JB wants?) and sign Larsson. More realistic scenario - Kraken take Holtby, we free up 4M, JB tries to find us a top defenceman and top-9 forward but fails, just re-signs Hamonic. What I want to happen - Beagle to SEA, Holtby to CHI for Zadorov, sign Larsson, Chatfield + pick (2nd? 3rd?) for Bjugstad, sign Brossoit as backup goalie, bury Roussel and Eriksson Miller - Petey - Boeser Pearson - Bo - Hoglander Podz - Bjugstad - Motte MacEwan - Dickinson - Highmore Hughes - Larsson Zadorov - Schmidt Rathbone - Myers Juolevi Demko Brossoit Probably as good/deep as our lineup can possibly look. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meh, it’s actually quite clear, we have a Cup contending team being dragged under but Travis “cement shoes” Green, I love everything about our team except our coach. I’m passionate about seeing us win the Cup thus I’m passionate about replacing our weakest link. 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt there is "Cup contending" teams with the cap-cost and skillset of the Canucks 4th line and 13th fw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
