2021 Seattle Expansion Draft (Seattle selects D. Gavin Bayruether)

[CBJWerenski8]

With seemingly every high priced player getting passed on aside from Giordano, it basically confirms they picked Domi (have to reach minimum salary)

If Seattle wants RyJo or Duchene they can likely get Nashville to take on a good chunk of the salary and not give much up.

So how much cap room would the CBJ have then?

 

[JacketLife]

Anyone else sitting here laughing at how all these teams wanted Seattle to help them with their cap troubles and they’re not taking hardly any of the guys with high hits?

 

[DJA]

 

[Fro]

Bayreuther is the pick

[ClevelandJacketFan]

Im...stunned. Gobsmacked. They didn't even take Kukan.

I guess those teams weren't prepared to give up much for the cap relief to Seattle

I may be the only one that isn't..they need prospects and he may end up a good one

 

[DJA]

More I have looked at capfriendly.com and the expansion draft on there, I have a feeling Bayreuther may be the pick...they need 6 or so minor league eligible players...

Domi and his shoulder surgery has to be a caution, there are plenty of players available better than Kukan and Stenlund....

Good call dude

 

[JacketsDavid]

Did not see that coming, wasn't sure if they would take Domi but it is a surprise.

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

Awww crap. He's going to win the Norris now ain't he?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Oh.

Bayreuther is only 9 months younger than Kukan.

 

[Cowumbus]

Yay! So we can trade Domi at the TDL for a second round pick. Nice.

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

Bayreuther is only 9 months younger than Kukan.

And a UFA

 

[MissADD]

I swear if Jarmo gave up a 1st rounder to prevent Domi from getting taken

 

[JacketsDavid]

So basically Seattle looked at our available roster and didn't thank any of them were NHL caliber...

I kid, I kid

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

I know it's fish-in-a-barrel to say HF posters don't know nothin' (me too!), but it's kinda amusing to see how wildly wrong all the speculating and armchair GMing around these parts has been regarding the Kraken.

 

[MissADD]

Really????????

A lot of us here were consistent in posting that it made no sense for Seattle to take Domi. (Unless you were referring to the main boards, which were wildly wrong for the most part.)

 

[Hello Johnny]

You don't seriously think this happened do you?

 

[GoJackets1]

Okay what the f***. I feel like we're being trolled. They picked our like #8 D over our #5 and our 2 NHL forwards? Holy shit.
