Sean Maloughney: Kraken Expansion Draft - LA Kings

The Kings are in great position expansion draft wise. Considering their prospect pool, they've got a huge amount of talent not eligible for Francis to purloin.

I read your article 3 times but I can't seem to figure out how Maatta was unprotected on both lists but wasn't considered? With Defensemen at a premium Maatta might be a cheap good fit with his experience but my pick would have been Carl Gundstrom. There's plenty of picks left for a center and a 5' 7'' 2nd liner isn't worth the pick.

Lizzotte is not even close to a 2nd line center. 4th at best.
