Weather or not NYI signs him, he will be a decent FA pick upThat assumes that NYI re-signs him this summer.

Jonathan Quick will be available.
Vaankanainen will have 3 years of experience after next season so he will not be exempt and I don't see the Bruins protecting him unless he has a monster season in 2020-21 and changes people's mindsVaakanainen exempt
He’s exempt like Studnicka- same classVaankanainen will have 3 years of experience after next season so he will not be exempt and I don't see the Bruins protecting him unless he has a monster season in 2020-21 and changes people's minds
Quickie will be available for sure. I think Seattle tags him then trades him to a contender at the 2022 deadline!Jonathan Quick will be available.
I don't think a team can lose a goaltender in 2 successive expansion draftsYou guys might end up getting a goalie from the Pens just like Vegas did.

I have Demko going to Seattle also unless he blows the doors off next season. Quick will be the other goaltender they take along with some other picks that gives them extra benefits(like a first rounder or two) from shying away from players or prospectsWell they have to take someone, and I would think Demko would be pretty clearly the best option unless changes dramatically next season.

Want to venture a guess as to who?I've got Demko,Lindgren,Campbell,Reimer,Howard,Allen,Rinne,Halak,Raanta,Stalock,Hutton,Greiss,Lundqvist,off the top of my head.Quick will be 'tender and either Marlstrom or Demko as the backup in the wings and Lindgren too!There will be younger goalies available to pick than quick by the time the expansion draft happens

For the most part I like your article and Roto article. I've done my own list and I'm sticking to it. I think Seattle takes Quick for the purpose of trading him at the 2022 deadline to a contender in desperate need of a Stanley Cup winnerI understand what you're saying here and I fully support using the expansion draft to make deals and get extra picks/young players while taking players other teams might want to get rid off.
Though, the Kings are a pretty bad example for that IMO.
They're in a full rebuild but hardly got any assets to give up/which are expandable to them.
So they surely would like us to take someone like Quick(just like Brown or Carter), but they just don't have any picks besides their own(unless you're happy with a couple of 2nd rounders from most likely playoff teams) and certainly won't trade those to get rid off him.
So unless they're able to find some trades netting them first rounders or talented youth from other teams, they just won't have anything worth taking on Quick's contract.
As far as goalies goes:
We better watch out what happens in places like Pittsburgh or Vancouver while Columbus just extended both of their goalies until 2022.
BTW: I found a nice article about the possible protections for the expansion draft on roto wire.

Washington makes a deal with Seattle to keep both their 'tenders! Dtto with Vancouver. Quick's cap hit for the Kings is 5.8 M for 3 more years. Actual payout for LA or other teams is 3.5M(2020-21),3.0M(2021-22) and 2.5M for 2022-23...quite reasonable for a goaltender that could win some really important games in the play-offs or maybe the Stanley Cup finals(hello Carolina...Boston...NYIslesI get what you're saying but I highly doubt that happening.
Quick has been on the decline(from his incredible play earlier in his career) for some time and is owed $5.8 mil per season until 2023.
So I doubt any contender would trade for him in February of 2022 while he still has 18 months left on his contract at that price.
Those teams usually are close to or basically at(over) the cap and won't add that kind of salary unless they see it as the final piece of the puzzle.
And a then 36 year old Quick won't fit that idea IMO.
Also, there should be other options at goal for us.
Vancouver(Markstrom, Demko), Pittsburgh(Murray, Jarry), NYR(they would need a third goalie to keep Georgiev from the list), Arizona(if they keep Raanta), Colorado(Grubauer, Francouz), St. Louis(most likely Jake Allen), Toronto(Andersen, Campbell) or Washington(if they keep Holtby and Samsonov) could all offer interesting options for us.

I think Edmonton protects Klefbom,Nurse,Bear and Jones and exposes Larsson!Edmonton is probably gonna lose a prospect in Seattle's expansion draft. They have a number of them that would be entering their 3rd year. Only first and 2nd year are auto protected.

Tampa for sure will have to make something happen or offer Seattle something decent to stay away from certain players. See the same thing happening in Philadelphia where they have a slew of forwards to protect and even some defense. From Philly I have Seattle taking Hagg,Myers,Laughton or Lindblom! The Flyers definitely go 7-3-1. Heard some Philly fans say they will trade Gostibehere and protect Myers because he's a RD-man...Buffalo may also be in the same boat with a lot of defense and few spots! I hope the NHL puts a roster-freeze at the 2021 deadline so insanity doesn't reign and Seattle gets screwed out of some decent to good players for Expansion!
Why do you say that? They will protect K Hayes,Giroux,Konecny,Patrick,Couturier,Voracek,van Riemsdyk...Provorov,Sanheim,Gostibehere and Hart! They will offer Seattle some players to stay away from certain players that's a given in my booksI wouldn't assume the flyers will go 7-3-1.
