If Seattle was entering next year, what player do you give up?

[Rschmitz]

Bolts would lose Johnson or Cernak if it were next year, depending on what Seattle had in mind. Unfortunately its two seasons from now, which means they get to choose between Katchouk and Foote. Lucky ********

 

[FerrisRox]

Don't think they are in a similar category, personally. Clear differences in age, salary, position, skating, etc

They are in the same category: not worth their contracts.

 

[Mafoofoo]

Vlasic and we’ll throw in Karlsson for free!


Well just tell them it’s Melker not Erik afterwards

 

[Crazy Monkey]

They are in the same category: not worth their contracts.

Didn't realize it was an all-or-nothing affair....

 

[Maffew]

Price, Petry, and Alzner have to be protected due to their NMC/NTC, however Alzner would definitely waive his NTC to be exposed due to him already passing waivers and now playing in the AHL.

Guessing the only somewhat attractive exposures here are Shaw, Hudon, or Lindgren, otherwise we're pretty good regardless of who gets snagged. I'll bet the team would protect Shaw over Lehkonen as the last forward though.

Protected
Forwards: Drouin, Tatar, Gallagher, Domi, Danault, Byron, Lehkonen
Defense: Weber, Petry, Reilly
Goalies: Price

Exposed
Forwards: Shaw, Peca, Deslauriers, Agostino, Chaput, Hudon, Armia, McCarron, Shinkaruk, Froese
Defense: Alzner, Schlemko, Benn, Kulak, Olofsson, Ouellet, Lernout, Audette
Goalies: Niemi, Lindgren

Ineligible
Forwards: Kotkaniemi, Evans, Suzuki, Vejdemo, Verbeek, Alain, Teasdale, Pezzetta, Waked
Defense: Juulsen, Mete, Brook, Fleury, Sklenicka, Moravcik,
Goalies: McNiven

Of course, this is if the draft were to take place this summer. Contracts, roster, and pro-statuses will be insanely different in 2021.

Lightning: Tyler Johnson would probably waive his NTC and if he's exposed, he'd be taken as he'd most likely be the best of those left vulnerable.

Reason he'd probably waive his NTC? He's from Spokane, Washington and he really loves his home state. So it's conceivable that he'd be thrilled to be part of the foundation of a NHL franchise there.

 

[Snakepit]

Protect

Forwards:

Monahan
Gaudreau
Lindholm
Tkachuk
Backlund
Jankowski
Bennett

Defense:

Giordano
Brodie
Hanifin

Goalie:
Rittich

So Seattle likely takes Travis Hamonic, maybe Frolik


Others exposed

Derek Ryan
James Neal
Garnet Hathaway
Michael Stone
Mike Smith

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Seattle can have their juicy pick of Jack Johnson or Bryan Rust.

 

[Paulinvancouver]

Granlund. He's all yours, pal.
