If Seabrook does waive then the Hawks can get through relatively unscathed. They aren’t really exposing great talent.
If he doesn't play this season, they likely wouldn't even need him to waive.

It would have to be really evident it was career ending. Lupul wasn't exempted in the Vegas draft and he never played a game again.
Probably. But at that point, you're talking about a guy who missed over 100 games, and hadn't played a game in almost two years...
Effectively confirmed, from ESPN's story on today's Seabrook news:
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told ESPN's Greg Wyshynski that Seabrook will "likely not" have to be protected in the expansion draft.
"It's also likely he can't be selected by Seattle," Daly said. "Before the draft we will review list of players and deem players who have long-term, career-ending injuries as 'exempt' for purposes of draft."
I've maintained that this was the plan the moment Seabrook's surgeries were announced. It just had to play itself out. This organization knows what they are doing.

I think the organization knew but Seabrook was not ready. This way he knows he did everything he could.
In this context, the Zadorov trade makes a lot more sense.
Saad is good $3MM dollar player. He was not a good value and he was inconsistent in his production. I love this deal not because Zherdev is a great defender, but the role he plays is so important----much more than a forward who wasn't physical and was a 40 point guy for 6MM.....we can go rob the Swiss league, match the production for 1/5th the cost.I agree
Off topic, but I think the Zadorov trade looks good regardless. After warming up for a bit, Saad is now 0/0/-4 in his last 6 games.
Correct me if I am wrong here, but Seabs would be an even more attractive player for Seattle right?. With his LTIR, that is not actual paid money from the team- but it goes towards the cap which Seattle would probably love to have and NOT have to pay his salary as well...Interesting to see how this plays out as a Seabs has 2 years left at a $6.7 mil cap hit that helps Seattle reach the floor...just saying...
geez..thought it was only 2 left- holy hell was that a horrible contract...3 more years (after this one).

So the D and G is pretty set and they'll go 7-3-1 now. One thing for me I forgot thinking about it is you need to leave 2 forwards who played x amount of games and are signed.
So I think Carpenter will be one of those exposed for that and maybe Wallmark with his RFA tender signed might be the other. And protected being
Toews-Kane-Cat-Strome-Nylander-Hagel-Kampf(still an rfa)
Seattle is a new market and ownership will be trying to field a competitive team right off the bat. Seabs does nothing to advance a competitive team.Correct me if I am wrong here, but Seabs would be an even more attractive player for Seattle right?.

Yeah that’s a no go.In a vacuum, of course. But you also have to consider the king's ransom we'd have to give them to swallow Seabs' contract. Powers threw out Mitchell and Hagel. Obviously, those 2 would help Seattle a ton. FWLIW, I wouldn't do that trade.

I would imagine Nylander would be the price. They would likely sniff on Strome too.
Wouldn't be surprised if they see a guy like Krys as a player they ask for too or Carlson. A young D caught in a log jam in addition to one of the aforementioned.
