Dahlen isn't very good and is a bit of a headache. I think he will end up back in SHL for most of his career.

I remember having Evgeni Svechnikov in a prospect draft once upon a time. I also remember being excited to trade him off, ha ha.

Bizarre. Donato was one of the few Kraken to outperform what they were expecting.

Ron Francis must be planning on signing half the UFA’s in the league since they need some players and their AHL will also be in need of players.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Seems pretty clear the Kraken wanted as much cap room as possible to be players in UFA .

Pretty sure him and Fluery might have been arbitration eligible. Donato was a pleasant surprise but if he gets awarded 2-2.5M I don't think he's worth that. Nice complimentary player but not a top 6 scorer and doesn't play a bottom 6 type role. Fluery was just average and if he gets a high award them it's too much for a 6/7th D.

So Parsons is the only one who didn't get a QO?

Kinnvall too no?

The Kraken are rumored to be making a run on Kadri and others. Its going to be expensive.

Seattle doesn't need a Center.

Seattle doesn't need a Center.

Seattle doesn't need anything other than better players

If they really want to go for it in free agency, get the better player and figure out the redundancies later

Svechnikov never really recovered from his knee injury in his early 20s. Never got back that explosion and first step he had. He was right on the doorstep of becoming an everyday NHLer too. It was the last preseason game against the Leafs if I remember correctly.

He still has enough speed and grit, and reads the ice well enough to become a pretty good bottom six player. He’ll get a PTO at least and should make a roster, as long as he continues redefining himself as a bottom six player.

 

[Petes2424]

Little surprised Pittsburgh didn’t qualify Heinen but that’s the cap world we live in. . The Knights would be wise to make a call. They need their bottom six shuffled up and he’d be a nice add to it. They missed guys like Nosek, etc. adding some quality down there will do wonders.

Teams seem to want no part of arbitration eligible players this summer. Just another victim of the cap not moving.

All of those players will end up with an NHL contract. Including Cholowski who’s a very serviceable AHL dman. With the cap the way it is, guys like Donato could end up being pretty valuable assets for contenders. Two guys who weren’t qualified, Donato and Heinen, added to the Knights as an example, could really change their bottom six for the good.

Cholowski ends up in Edmonton on a two way deal is my guess. Holland loves “His Guys” and watching him and Broberg play in Bakersfield could be entertaining, trying to tell them apart.

On second thought, maybe it’s a bad idea for Broberg to be around him.

First post is updated.

Tried to use official releases for all the teams, but a few teams never released one so I went with CapFriendly's list for the rest.

Also removed Valtteri Puustinen from the list because it seems like he was never a RFA, not sure how I messed that up.

Bizarre. Donato was one of the few Kraken to outperform what they were expecting.

Actually not surprising at all.

The Kraken want to sign a top six winger, while already having Schwartz, Eberle and McCann.

That means there's no spot in the top six left and as much as I liked Donato's season, his skillset just doesn't translate into a bottom six role.
The team also isn't running the risk of an arbitrator ruling for a cap hit on Donato that they don't want and you can still always circle back if both sides still would like something to get done.

Fleury, on the other hand, had an awful season and isn't worth the cap hit he had last season, let alone a raise which would've been required by giving him that QO.
