They probably have a deal with the Kraken already.

The Caps? The most pain they can inflict on us is taking our backup goalie. They are welcome to take our 4th liners and middle pairing defenders. I think the Caps will just let them take whoever they want this year.

11 goals (same goal production as Vrana) and 8 assists in 40 games this season. Lavy has used him up and down in the line up. The guys been a buzz saw.
Why on earth would they protect Sheary. He's absolutely ok but not someone you stress about losing in the expansion draft. If Kraken takes him, so what...

I remember when a set of Capitals fans were upset with this signing and I told them to be patient. Ideal top nine guy. Can play anywhere. Produces. Solid deal.

That doesn't exempt Sheary from being signed and used as the selection from Seattle. If you sign him and don't protect him, it's really the same thing.
Id still rather have
Beagle 4 years $3 million per season
Roussell 4 years $3 million per season
Pearson 3 years $3 million per season

Sheary has been a wonderful surprise. Not only his offence but he is solid all-around.

How upset can someone be at a 1 year deal for the minimum?
Sheary is most important player on the team after Ovi and Nick and Kuzy. Will be better than Mantha.

This was where my mind went right away. If Sheary is worth $1.5 x 2 Pearson is probably worth $1.75 x 2.Id still rather have
Beagle 4 years $3 million per season
Roussell 4 years $3 million per season
Pearson 3 years $3 million per season

True, but its unlikely that Seattle takes an upcoming UFA, unless they literally want nothing from an organization.

He's been a nice surprise, I'll take it.
I think the Caps trade Vanecek (or Samsonov) before the expansion draft, and then structure their protection lists so the only worthwhile players exposed are ones making $3M+ in AAV. (Dillon, Schultz, Orlov, Oshie).
Still wouldn't shock me if they have a deal from the get go for Oshie to end up in Seattle.

I'm sure he's been good for the Caps, but he is very much a contract year producer.
Was great when he was competing for a roster spot.
Was great when he was proving his worth for a >$1m deal.
Then he signed that 3m x 3y deal with PIT and completely gave up. Was a good deal more urgent in his second stint with PIT than he did in Buffalo if I remember correctly. Not that I watched much of him at all in Buffalo.
Hopefully he doesn't relax next year now that he has a two year cushion.
