Sean Maloughney: CONTEST! GUESS THE EXPANSION DRAFT + Mock Draft 4.0 - Going Cheap/Trades

Isn't Virtanen still being investigated for sexual assault? Gadjovich or Lind probably make more sense and save an extra 1.7mil.

Also Johnsson

Sean Maloughney: CONTEST! GUESS THE EXPANSION DRAFT + Mock Draft 4.0 - Going Cheap/Trades
- Sean Maloughney

Sorry, but according to the expansion agreement the fish has spoken and you must take Kerfoot. I don’t make the rules.

Who is trading for Tarasenko and giving 1st and a prospect while team retaining 2 million. Blues would do this deal in a heart beat now.

Come on Sean… this roster is a total pipe dream.

Their actual selection will likely be surprising to you and they’ll be lucky to sign 1 or 2 UFAs and you won’t like those contracts.

Would love to see Seattle take Borgen. On about every chart I have seen he is not making the NHL roster and would need to be sent to the AHL. However, at 24 he has to pass through waivers (unless somehow Seattle is exempt). Sabres have first pick of waivered players and could get him back for virtually nothing.

Sean you do realize that Danault turned down $30M over 6 years and that offer is still apparently on the table

Here's a question.

If Seattle goes straight through the draft without picking up additional assets like Vegas did (Karlsson/1st/Clarkson) is it considered a meh or bad draft?

Vegas only looks like geniuses because Tuch, Karlsson, Theodore, March and Reilly worked out

At the time it seemed like Reilly was overpaid and that's why they got March

They got Tuch instead of Dumba, both good players

Karlsson instead of Atkinson

Theodore was the real steal

They pissed away all the 1st round picks

Vegas is good because of all the moves they made AFTER the draft in subsequent years. Stone, Patches, Pietrangelo. Overall their asset management has been pretty terrible IMO

Tatar trade, Suzuki instead of Glass for Patches, or just keep both and sign Patches as a FA, same argument for Stone

Your logic is a little flawed there because in order to get the players that made them good (Pacioretty and Stone) they traded away those first round picks. Didn't really piss them away.

No.

But I think your roster is way more realistic than his.

I'll stick with my budget lineup from last blog, just changing slightly to accommodate the Florida pick (even though I think they should just wait until after the draft to sign him, it doesn't sound like they will).

All requirements met, 71.4M/81.5M (plus extra for new Driedger deal).

JVR - Gourde - Donskoi
McCann - Domi - Bailey
Girgensons - Tierney - Sissons
ZAR - Athanasiou - Fisher
Merkley - Gauthier - Donato
Benson

Giordano - DeMelo
Sekera - Stetcher
Dunn - Zadorov
Bean - H. Fleury
Kulak - Lauzon
Rafferty

Kahkonen
Vanecek
Driedger

Then go out and talk to the UFA's and teams needing to dump talent.
