Tried to do one earlier and it was actually hard, can't imagine how Seattle's front office is feeling right about now. I'm sure there is added pressure based off of how well Vegas did in their first year.
Side note - there are probably some side deals in place that we are unaware of that explain why some players were not protected (my first thoughts are Price/Kahkonnen left unprotected because of deals)

There are a bunch of bigger name guys on bigger contracts that are not getting protected. If I were the Kraken I would be taking chances on guys like duchshane, Johansson, terrasenko, Voracek, price, van riemsdyk, Giordano. I feel like they could actually ice a pretty good team. I'm not saying they can pull a vegas, but it could be a lot better than previous expansion teams.

Price is 100% going to Seattle.

Price is 100% going to Seattle. And I will rejoice as I'd love to cheer for both Carey and the Krakheads this season

I still can’t get over the team name “Kraken”.

In all my years of television I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite as cringeworthy as this espn expansion draft show. And the host roast master general is a massive douche.

I don't really get the Geekie pick. Thats just after a quick look over.
Sad to see Giordano leave the Flames. He's a warrior and I think at his cap hit he's not a bad deal. Was crossing my fingers they would pick Phillips.
They have a solid foundation for a team, but no star. Expecting the Kraken will be active in FA to get a couple of big names. They have the cap space.

I actually thought they made some pretty good pics. I think I've had four or five players taken by the Kraken LOL. The geeky pic I actually really like, he is a pretty solid AHLer who just hasn't had a chance to really produce I think

I think there has to be some deals that are going to come up tomorrow because there are some brain dead selections being made. There is no way Ronnie picked Bayreuther without there being some form of compensation for that.

A lot of picks that made no sense to me, but unfortunately for the Flames not the pick from their team.
Disappointing that by far the best player taken was from a non-playoff team with massive talent issues. I don't disagree with protecting the 3 guys ahead of Gio but crazy to think that we lose such a key player while teams that are already much better than us lose basically nothing.
