Speculation: Projecting the 2021 Seattle Expansion protection list and who the Wild lose

[Dr Jan Itor]

No up to date guesses on who we lose?

I don't think it'll be a goalie under any scenario.

There's no chance that I can see that Soucy's name ever comes off the exposed list. Pretty much everybody else (Dumba, Foligno, Greenway) is subject to some sort of decision or prospective trade.

What I fear right now, is that Guerin is just going to take the $6M in cap space, let Dumba go, and just go with the "hey, we were going to lose a good player anyway" type of thing.

Actually, what I REALLY fear is him exposing Fiala.

My guess is Soucy.

But before this I have a feeling that Dumba could be involved in a trade with Vancouver for JT Miller.
I'm sure Guerin doesn't want to lose Dumba for nothing, even though the market for him has been limited in the past.

There is over a month to go with the possibility of player trades and NMC's being waived. Impossible to say. The fact that Guerin has said he wants to keep Dumba means nothing to me, as does the fact that he has said Victor Rask is a good player.
Any good GM keeps his actual thoughts to himself, and uses the media to further his goals, which may, or may not, involve telling the truth. Usually it's a lot of vague pronouncements that get even hazier the more you look at them.

i just read an interesting scenario :

Seattle has a 48 hour window prior to the draft to sign any unprotected pending FA (restricted or unrestricted, one per team) If a team loses a player to seattle during the signing window it will not have a player selected from its roster during the draft.

I'm confused why this is even brought up.

I don't know. Why does any nightmare happen?

Are you 100% sure ?

I think Some RFA's, like Kaprizov, are exempt from Seattle draft

 

[GordieGallant]

I am pleased that the Wild will not have the worst team name anymore.

Kaprizov can't be signed by another team regardless.

I know that.

Read the post I replied to.

It says Seattle can sign ANY rfa or ufa which is not true

It says Seattle can sign any unprotected RFA or UFA. Kaprizov is not "unprotected" or "protected" because he is exempt.

Golden Knights? Mighty Ducks? Dumbest names ever.

Seems like writing is on the wall that we will deal Dumba and lose either KK or Soucy.

Or give up an asset or two for them to pick Rask.

We are not going to lose 2 defensemen, especially when Cole is a UFA.

I hope talbot, but guess dumba.

 

[Loopy0ne]

I have an original red jersey that I want to put a number on...Is Dumba going to go away or not? I am thinking Boogaard 24 and still wonder how Dumba is wearing that number... did Dumba ever give his reasoning for it?

I have Gaborik, recent Czech team, Kaprizov, white, and a Demo Memorial, team Slovakia on the way (you can donate for COVID-19 for the Demo one: Team Slovakia PAVOL DEMITRA White memorial Ice Hockey Jersey | eBay). Numbering my Red one is an important decision and I planned to do Boogaard.

 

[DANOZ28]

i believe dumba asked boogaard's family for permission which they gave him. previously he was 55 and i think his mom didn't like DUMBA55.

I liked DUMBA55. Wish he would go back.

This is for signing RFAs that are offer sheet eligible ie: fiala, ek, menell

my question moreso is if they sign an unprotected RFA do they have to give the offer sheet compensation?

I would think so, making such a scenario unlikely. Seattle has the #2 OA this year.

ya, was thinking if we exposed fiala and they QOd him, wed get the 2nd overall, save a bunch of cap and theyd get a great winger

Think the draft picks are the next draft...so wouldn't work.

The expansion draft is before the actual draft, os if it is announced that SEA has traded for Fiala's RFA rights from us in lieu of a player, doesn't that mean we would get a 2021 pick? I know the negotiation period is after the draft, but i think i read somewhere that SEA has a period to do it before anyone else.
Well, we'd get either the 1st and 3rd, or 1st, 2nd, and 3rd 2022 picks, depending on how much the offer sheet was. Assuming that they are a bottom 11 team, getting a shot at Wright or Michkov wouldn't be the worst thing. I am not sure how strong the draft is otherwise.

In general, though, losing Fiala would be a setback. As great as Michkov is supposed to be, he won't be able to play over here till 2026. That's a long time to wait...I don't think Kaprizov will.

Yeah, so SEA has an exclusive period from July 18-21(before the NHL draft) where they can negogiate and sign with UFA's and RFA's. If they can sign a player before the NHL draft, I would presume that the picks would be a 2021 ones? Getting the #2oa in this draft would be nice because Beniers would probably be there.
