Who will your team lose?

[Bossy22]

Now that the protected lists have been released, who do you think your team will lose to the Kraken? I’ll go first. I think my Isles will lose Bailey. He’s a favourite of mine so am sad if it happens.

 

[Breakaway Dealz]

Wow…there are some great goalies that have been made avail…

I was surprised to see both Carey Price & Tuukka Rask

 

[BigBarracuda]

Agreed, Bailey is a real gem!

I suspect my Canes will lose Reimer. He fits the mold of being a positive guy in a challenging role.

I also think we'll lose Dougie Hamilton, either in the expansion draft or on free agency market. Offensively, he's a beauty!

So, the Caps are a bit puzzling.

My hope: They take Dillon. He's an average/slightly above average defenseman, but his contact is way too big.

My expectation: They take Jensen or Schultz, leaning closer to Schultz, with an outside chance of Vanecek. The forward group available from the Caps isn't stellar (except for Ovechkin, which it would be hilarious if the Kraken try to take him LOL), so I'm going to guess they take a d-man. Vanecek is also a possibility, given his ELC/low cap hit, but I think there are other, better goaltenders out there for them to take.

 

[geschrocks33]

Judging by the Sabres list, probably Will Borgen. Although I hope we convince them to take Eakin/Okposo/C. Miller

CJ

This is what I was leaning towards as well.

 

[SNobles]

Landeskog would be a great add for leadership but likely will be Donskoi or Saad.

 

[timcheveldae]

This is the only nice thing about being a Red Wings fan right now - no one they left unprotected is particularly good, nor will they negatively affect the rebuild going forward.

Everyone suspects a little college reunion between Stetcher and Hakstol.

 

[Brave]

I just hope they take Cal Foote from Tampa. Don’t do them any favors by taking salary.

 

[Sharks1917]

Doug Wilson should take Ron Francis up to the Napa wine country for a little wine tasting & convince him to take MARTIN JONES

 

[wildfan1833]

Carson soucy for Minnesota

 

[Bossy22]

Carson soucy for Minnesota

I have a feeling you guys are losing a goalie

 

[creasecollector]

Not my team but.... Carey Price ??

 

[BrownBullhead]

I guess this speaks to the volume of hockey I have watched for the last several years, but I presumed Rask had retired several years ago when he took that "leave" in the middle of the playoffs.

Stetcher has the best contract of anyone unprotected by the Wings, too.

If I'm being hopeful, maybe Frans Nielsen or Danny Dekeyser. The most valuable part of these guys right now is keeping us at the cap floor...

If by "several years ago" you mean last year, then you wouldn't be extremely mistaken for thinking that

 

[Chinner]

Hoping for Eriksson

Outside chance at Holtby

Realistically the Kraken take Lind

Rask is out until January, so I doubt they take him.

From Chicago I think they take either Subban or DeHaan

 

[dismonkey1]

I am rooting for Voracek or JVR, but I am expecting Ghost or Haag.

 

[MMarch]

If Chicago can make a side deal I think it will be De Haan with a goalie or pick as a sweetener. If no side deal can be made, I think they take Zadorov.
